Modern hotel in proximity to Kyoto historic centre
Kyotology offers a very clean, modern stay with excellent facilities. As a semi-automated hotel, staff presence is limited, but the check-in process is smooth and efficient. The hotel is located about 15–20 minutes from the centre of Kyoto, making it convenient while still in a quieter area. A great choice if you value modern design, cleanliness, and a more independent style of stay, and if you don’t mind walking around and using public transport.

Very nice hotel, was amazed with the size of the room and amenities provided for the cost. It’s a little distance from the train station but allows to get lost in the local culture/experience. Loved the easy check-in process! Would definitely stay at again!
