Hotels near Kinkaku-ji Temple Kyoto

"It’s a beautiful place to stay but away from most visiting place in Kyoto "

"I purposefully chose this hotel because it was away from the hustle and bustle. It was in a much quieter area. The proximity to the train was literally across the street and a supermarket right next to it. For me spending a few hours in Shibuya and Shinjuku is over stimulating and there are just too many people so coming back to quiet neighborhood was nice . I did not want to go to Disney but a lot of people that did want to go would stay there too. The breakfast was great something for everyone...

"Lovely 100-year old house repurposed as guest house. Modern additions such as air con and shower room added around original building with wooden sliding doors and futon beds. Lovely, helpful owners met us and showed us everything - thank you!"

"One of the best hotel and resort I have ever experienced. the staff was exceptional. Every need was anticipated beforehand. From the welcome greeting as you steped out of taxi through the personalized sit down check in. Explaining the property. The bell hop showed off the room, stunning view and amenities. we were overwhelmed. absolutely amazing experience. more to follow."

"This home was beautiful and in a quiet street in a quiet neighborhood. We wish we spent more time relaxing here. There were some safety concerns with a toddler with the stairs etc, but they could easily be blocked off. "

"It was a great room and good location. The room was clean and tidy, the bathroom was not as spotless. Really good value for money."

"This boutique hotel was the absolute highlight of our trip to Japan. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the exceptional, personalized service. The staff is remarkably attentive and goes above and beyond to make you feel welcomed—even greeting us with thoughtful complimentary snacks upon arrival.The attention to detail is evident in every corner of the property. The decor strikes a balance of traditional Japanese aesthetics and modern comfort, creating a cozy and serene atmosphere....

"Amazing property, traditional Japanese house but with all the amenities for todays living. Beautiful back garden and amazing Japanese bath. Warm and cozy in winter. "

"You cannot beat the price for this hotel/apartment. It had everything we needed, was clean, and spacious...and exactly as pictured on the site. The only downside (which is very minor) is that the check-in is at a separate location, which is in walking distance of Kyoto station, which is where you will most likely be arriving anyway. The staff was SUPER kind and friendly - and they shuttle you right to your apartment/hotel suite, which is great and the building we were in was modern, clean and...

"We chose Shiki Homes Aki as our Kyoto base because we like to cook for ourselves and relax in the evening, while still having access to local sights and the public transport system. Shiki Homes Aki provided a well maintained, comfortable base in easy reach of buses and the subway. The Imperial Palace Gardens, the Nishijin textile area and Nijo Castle were all short walks from the house and city buses took us to other shrines, temples and shopping areas. The house has a comfy double bed and lots...

"Great hotel, loved the area as it was quiet and away from the crowds, but close enough for the grocery stores and eateries. The room itself was amazing and the bathroom was gorgeous. Would highly recommend this place and would stay again if I come back to Kyoto. "

"The room was thoughtfully designed and the property is beautiful. If you happen to forget any toiletries, there are plenty provided. The owner was very kind and he provided precise recommendations for transit. He also provided us with a map of Kyoto as well as a general guidebook for tourists. I absolutely recommended this location for your next stay in Kyoto. "

"Excellent rooms based on Japan traditional style, fully fitted kitchen area and washing machine. Tea, kettle etc. Provided plus laundry soap."

"I was there for just a little less than a week but out of the 3 hotels i stayed in while in japan this was my personal favorite that fit my needs the most. The room was spacious, (travelled alone) and my favorite parts was propably The fact that i had a bathtub and microwave in the hotel room so i could relax properly and heat up food without having to leave my room in the early morning. The personell was also excellent, some of them were even proficient in english. The location was also great...

"Loved it, felt like a real local. Washer was a plus and included detergent! Fast responses and overall a great stay :) 9.8/10 a little bit dusty specifically the top of air conditioner but hey, it’s an older place, it was expected and part of the vibe. Recommend if you want to stay in a more traditional place hence the name of the place. "

"素晴らしい宿泊施設です。 建物も新しくとても綺麗で水回りも清潔でした。 心配でバスタオルタオルドライヤー歯ブラシを持っていきましたがきちんとありました。"

"Super clean room and wonderfully helpful staff. We loved Kyoto and this hotel!"

"Located in kitano area close to tenmangumae shrine. Good connectivity via local buses esp num 203 to gion area. Close to railway line for arashiyama bamboo forest. Overall a pleasant stay ."

"the inn was an amazing way to add a quiet authenticity to our visit to kyoto. so peaceful. the architecture and artifacts of the building’s history continued to amaze over our 4 night stay. Ms Tano’s breakfast was one of the best meals of our trip!"

"There were two Japanese well maintained gardens and stone paving hallway outside. They were beautiful and they made us feel very historical culture. The summer season in Kyoto is very uncomfortable to stay outside because of the hight temperature but, in this house, for some reason we could stay comfortably without air conditioner. It was a huge house but all the rooms were cleaned perfectly. Especially we were impressed with the bathroom. The high-tech toilets beautiful wooden bath tub made us...
