We were a group of 6 and we had a lot of room. Very nice bathroom and had lots of amenities. Staff is very generous and friendly.

Not an easy way to pull up to hotel; parking for the hotel is around the corner. The restaurant was beautiful and the food was excellent, service was slow.
Abigail, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Location is great, next to Kyoto aquarium and a nice park. Staff are all very nice and helpful, also English friendly. Some of the floor mattresses for the tatami room and pillows were heavily stained but other than that everything was nice and clean.
David, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a problem with our room so they upgraded us to a nicer one!
Depti, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Everything was great and the space in the rooms are perfect more than enough space for literally everything.
Mashuk, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The property had plenty of room for our family and with our luggage. It is a short walk from the Kyoto Station (10-15 minutes). There are several 7-11's located in the area so you can grab food/drinks. The hotel also has a restaurant/bar located in the lobby/common area. The staff was friendly and assisted us with any questions we had. They provided us with amenities such as toiletries, fresh towels daily, and water. The rooms are newer and the bathroom was new and had a nice shower/tub. We really enjoyed the space, we have stayed at plenty of hotels throughout Japan and this room had more room than other places which helps when you are traveling with a family. Tge neighborhood was quiet which was nice not hearing the cars and city life. We would stay there again.

Super quiet room. Could not even hear the train from ours.

This hotel was wonderful and the staff were very kind as well. None of my friends nor myself have any complaints about the place as a whole - it was very nice to stay here.
Kayla, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We're a group of 6. This room provided us more than enough space for each of us. The tatami area is spacious that we could lay 4 futons + the table with sitting for tea in there. Sliding doors provide privacy from the bedding and tatami areas. So, my husband and I could sleep without feeling like 6 people in a room. Also, the bathroom is nice and big. I could bath in an American standard bathtub each day. I loved it! Also, the hotel was the only one that we would receive bottle waters each day comparing with other 3 hotels we stayed in our trip.
Angel, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very nice hotel and comfortable stay. Good accommodating for luggages storage before/after checkin. Too bad the breakfast required reservation and there wasn't much restaurant to close by. Close-by To-ji, train museum and aquarium.
Alvin, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The room is very modern, clean and high tech! The staff are very friendly!

8/10 Good

I wanted to give this place a perfect review, because the room was quite cozy and very beautiful. Unfortunately, my party and I discovered a roach in our room not even within 30 minutes of us getting situated. I understand that mistakes happen, unfortunately this was one that definitely threw a wrench in our overall enjoyment of our stay. I will say, however, the location was pretty and not too bad of a walk from Kyoto’s main train station.
James A, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Staff were very friendly and helped us store our luggage for us before check in time. Our room was very spacious and clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable and there was also Netflix available (Japanese only but you can select Eng subtitles). Downside is that there is nothing in the area so you need to spend quite a bit of time travelling to the tourist attractions. Also it is also located near a train track and the windows are thin so you can hear trains running if you’re a light sleeper.
Michelle, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

15min walk.to station, only difficult in the heat. Only issue was hearing people walk around loudly at night on the floor above.
Jasmine, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location and spacious rooms

We had a great stay at Hotel Banister Kyoto. The hotel is located in a quiet area within a 10-min walk from the main Kyoto station. There is plenty of convenience stores, restaurants and a large mall within walking distance. We also found the park 2mins walk great give our kids a run around at (the aquarium is next to the park too). The room itself was spacious with a good layout. It had lots of great amenities and comfy beds. There is a small cafe and restaurant on the lobby but we never used it as the cafe didn’t open until 11 (even for coffee). Overall we had a great stay and would highly recommend.

Perfect hotel, close to Kyoto station

We had a fantastic stay at Hotel Banister Kyoto. The location was perfect – central and with easy access to Kyoto Station, making it very convenient to get around. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and modern, with a great bathroom. We had a small issue with the hot water at first, but the staff quickly resolved it. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and would definitely recommend Hotel Banister Kyoto to other travelers.
