Detailed Reviews
This hotel was the perfect location for our day trips outside of Kyoto (to Hiroshima, Arashiyama and Nara) and the Inari shrine. It was about a 10 minute easy walk to Kyoto Station from the hotel.
The free drink each evening was a nice touch, and the drinks after that were 500 yen which was very reasonable!
Our rooms both had small balconies which meant we had a great view of the sunset each evening.
Rooms were simple but exactly what we needed as a base to explore - the shower was always hot and the rooms were clean.
Wi-fi was terrible in the room but worked well in reception so not the end of the world.

This hotel is right outside the station. Check-in was easy. The first room we were given had almost no Wi-Fi. The lady at check-in was great and found as an alternative room straight away. Amazing customer service. The room is a good size and the bathroom has all the amenities that you might need , they also offer free washing facilities and a welcome drink every evening in the bar. I would highly recommend this hotel to anybody, wanting a place to stay whilst checking out Kyoto. I would definitely stay here and recommend this hotel.

Great boutique hotel with quick access to Kujo Station on the Kyoto Metro. Kujo is just one stop south of Kyoto station so easy to navigate and exit quickly. They call it an adult only hotel because of the onsen and nightly welcome drink in the lobby. There are non alcoholic options as well. You can relax in the lobby area which also has a reading library or take your drink up to your room. The onsen in the hotel is a nice bonus. The rooms are comfy. The beds are firm which some may not like. Free self serve laundry in the 4th floor available 24 hours a day is a nice perk. The machines can get busy but jet lag had us waking up at 5am so machines were empty!

During our stay, we experienced multiple instances of blatant discrimination. One morning at breakfast, a staff member shouted at us, accusing us of not having a breakfast ticket. Despite us showing the ticket that we had indeed paid for breakfast, the staff member continued to be confrontational and dismissive. This humiliating scene took place in front of other guests, leaving us embarrassed and upset.
On another occasion, we were informed at the reception that the hotel was fully booked and no rooms were available. However, shortly after, we witnessed a japanese couple arriving and being given a room without any issues. This clear display of preferential treatment was both shocking and disheartening.
The staff's consistent rudeness and discriminatory behavior made our stay extremely unpleasant. It is clear that this hotel does not welcome some guests. For your own comfort and dignity, we strongly advise you to avoid this establishment. There are many other places where you will be treated with the respect and hospitality you deserve. Avoid this hotel at all costs.

The hotel is ver well located, and they have a few good and special things in their service.
In the other hand I really think their "eco cleaning policy" is terrible! they dont even make the beds of the guests for 3 days, they just leave you new towels, they even leave the clothing they give you on the floor...
The cleaning people woks and leave their papers, and "cleaning" tools all around the hallways.

Pros:
- the onsen!!!!
- loved the free drink each evening
- the room was spacious for Japan
- free laundry (see more on this later haha)
- easy check in with luggage storage
- live music
- next to Kyoto station and another smaller station
Cons:
- the smoking room let’s smoke into the common area when people enter and leave, ew!
- breakfast was sold out, bummer
- common hallways could use a refresh
- laundry - the driers didn’t dry clothes well at all. Plan for way longer than home!
- they like to keep the reception area very quiet - we got shushed when laughing so if you are traveling as a group suggest finding a bar to meet up at vs grabbing drinks at the hotel
- needs more outlets by the bed
We previously stayed at Sakura Terrace the Gallery and would probably spend more to stay there and skip this hotel next time.

We stayed 3 nights recently. Arrival from Kyoto Station is easy with the Subway right outside the hotel. Check in via the machine was quick. The rooms are large for Japanese standards. Enough room to work with luggage. Good beds and bedding. Decent size bath. Great water pressure. Here's the deal on cleaning people mentioned. No drama. Just tell the front desk daily you want the cleaning. They'll do it gladly. It says so on all papers. So please, no complaints about the eco cleaning. It takes 30 seconds to request it.
PS. Easy access to all sights via Subway and buses. Just get an ICOCA card and you're set.
Highly recommend the place.

Great experience at Sakura Terrace.
The rooms are basic but functional.
However there is a lovely lounge downstairs with free tea and coffee all day and one free cocktail in the evening.
Try the Sake Violet… delicious!
Fantastic breakfast and wonderful supportive staff.
Perfect location right on the subway and close to many attractions and restaurants.
We enjoyed our stay very much.
Thank you to all the wonderful staff.

We chose this hotel for two main reasons: proximity to the main Kyoto train station and free on-site laundry facilities. There are three washers and four dryers, with free detergent available for guest use. Keep in mind that drying clothes can take a really long time; the dryers aren't large, so if you can't divide your clothes between multiple machines, they could easily go for two to three hours before they're dry. I wanted to go to bed at least an hour before my laundry was finished, but at least I came away with clean clothes for the second half of our trip!
Otherwise the place was fine. Our room was clean and not particularly large, with free Wi-Fi that was frustratingly weak and slow at times. The shower was pretty strong, and the mattress was firm. The train station is about a 15-minute walk away, so it's convenient for day trips or getting around the city.
I think the hotel provides breakfast for an extra charge, but we ended up eating at the train station both days.

This was my third visit to Kyoto.I previously very much enjoyed staying at the Citadines but this time I wanted a hotel with an onsen, close (ish) to the main Kyoto station.( I had also stayed at the Righa Royal Hotel also but this was through a group tour.It was quite good too.)
I booked 5 nights (11,000 yen per night for deluxe twin including breakfast) for February 8 to 13 through Hotels.com and paid in advance Through Hotels.com, the third party, I requested a quiet room on a high floor.
The hotel is south of the Kyoto station at a busy intersection so two sides of the hotel , south and east sides overlook busy roads .Our room was 723, overlooking one of the busy roads.The room itself was great. New, spacious and very comfortable. Despite double glazing and being 7 floors up, to me the traffic noise was VERY annoying.(I am hard of hearing but traffic noise sensitive.) It didn't worry my 21 year old son at all.
After the first night I requested a change of room.I was very fortunate because it was low season and a choice of alternative rooms was available. The north and west sides of the hotel are quiet.Rooms on these sides have balconies.The first alternative room I was offered was another twin but cramped with the beds jammed together, smaller than my original room. Then I was offered a balcony twin room on the north side (#832) .This room was fabulous. Huge (estimated twice the size of the original room , same bathroom) but they were unable to tell me in square metres. The beds were 2 three quarter beds and soft!! Superior to the beds in the original room. The room incorporated a large TV area with sofa AND a lounge chair.I paid 3000 yen extra per night for this room but at 14,000 yen incuding breakfast this was very good value.
I would like to thank Yamada-san for arranging the room change as well as for other assistance with sightseeing enquiries .All the staff were welcoming and unfailingly helpful, although with varying English skills.
The breakfast (included in my rate) I really enjoyed.Natural yoghurt with mixed frozen (defrosted) berries, cereal, fresh fruit (banana, sliced orange and grapefruit) , beautiful small pastries prepared on the premises, small rolls with a range of fillings including smoked salmon, prawns or ham.Several hot offerings.Not a traditional Japanese breakfast.Two coffee machines with great coffee .The dining room/bar area is very nice with a terrace for warmer weather.
I did find the onsen to be too hot for me, unfortunately, because this is one of the reasons I chose this hotel.
There were 3 top loading washing machines and dryers.
Location: Not far from the Kyoto station and an easy walk unless it is freezing cold or raining or with small children. A taxi cost about 700 yen.Nothing much in the way of restaurants in the immediate area. A Joshin electronics store across the street. Subway station at the door.
I think it is a good hotel IF you get a quiet room. This is not possible to guarantee if you use a third party site and when the hotel is full.
