Village Kyoto

The bath house, Room was a good size for the 3 of us, the little extras like ice creams, sake, coffee machine, pjs. Staff very helpful

Village Kyoto exceeded our expectations. The room was large and comfortable, the breakfasts were delicious, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the hotel had several amenities we hadn't even realized! These included sake tasting every night (with a rotating selection of sake), a bookmark-making station, and an ice cream freezer, where you could help yourself. The location was also very convenient. It was only a 5-minute walk to the subway station and pretty centrally located (just a couple of stops from Kyoto Station). There were also convenience stores, plenty of restaurants, and a supermarket all within a 5-minute walk. The onsen was lovely and relaxing.

We stayed here for 6 nights. Room was fantastic with plenty of room for 4 people and luggage. Great location close to train station with an easy commute to most areas in Kyoto. Short taxi ride to Kyoto station (approx 1,500 yen). 7 eleven and Family Mart close by. Staff were helpful when asking for assistance. On the day we left I asked if they could call a taxi for us and they ending up going out to the street and hailing a taxi for us (something I didn't expect them to do).

Clean, has a microwave oven and a fridge in the room. The family room has sofa that can be unfolded into a bed. There’s a shared hot water minerals spa on the first floor where you can enjoy a free mocha ice cream afterwards. The front desk sells the Kyoto 1-day subway-bus pass which saved us a lot of time. There is also a mini shop at the lobby where I bought a hair pin at rather reasonable price ( I wish I had bought more). Staff were courteous. The breakfast (good selections) was delivered to the room on time. Walking distance to bus stops and convenient stores.

I enjoyed very much my stay at Village Kyoto, a modern ryokan, in a typical japanese room with tatami and futon! The atmosphere is magic! The staff as well, very helpful. The position is perfect, 1 min walking from 2 different local railways, and several buses, very easy to go everywhere in Kyoto. The main JR station is not that far by bus. The place is not too much touristic, thus you can live the real city! Breakfast is typical japanese, maybe a bit unsual for western people, but is is OK! There is a public bath, onsen style, I enjoyed every night! Great!
