“What I find compelling is the hotel's preserved 'old modern' Kyoto vibe, transporting you back to the '70s, '80s, or '90s. The direct subway access is a major plus. It's a blend of luxury and culture, making it a strong choice for both vacationers and business travelers.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Okura Kyoto is appreciated for its location near the train station and within walking distance of attractions like Gion and Kiyomizu Temple, and directly connected to the subway. Many guests find the rooms spacious and comfortable, some offering excellent views from higher floors, such as the 17th-floor restaurant. The traditional Japanese breakfast is often mentioned as an ideal way to start the day. While generally well-regarded, a few guests have noted that the hotel's style feels somewhat dated.

Central location with great access

I really appreciated the central location. It made sightseeing easy. The subway was directly accessible from the hotel. The room included two separate sinks and a rainfall shower. The breakfast had both western and japanese style options (i liked the miso soup).
I found that the gym required an extra daily fee.

the staff was helpful. the location is great for exploring.
The room felt small and a bit dated. The single drip coffee bag policy seemed cheap for a supposedly luxury hotel? extra coffee cost 216 yen each, i thought it was excessive.

fantastic stay!

convenient shuttleamazing viewsdim lighting
The hotel shuttle from the train station was convenient. I used it when departing. my room had amazing views, and the staff remembered my birthday with a special greeting, how sweet! the daily newspaper and abundant amenities. breakfast was also really good!!!
the basement area felt dimly lit and navigating it was a little challenging, especially early in the morning. better lighting would improve safety.
