Kyoto Brighton Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"I stayed here for three nights and had a great experience. The room was clean, quiet, and well maintained. Staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The location was convenient and close to restaurants and public transportation. Breakfast had good variety, and the Wi-Fi worked well. I would definitely stay here again."
"We recently stayed at The Blossom Kyoto and overall had a very pleasant experience. The hotel was modern, clean, and offered great amenities that made our stay comfortable, especially for families traveling longer in Japan.
One of the biggest highlights was the public bath, which was a nice way to relax after long days of walking around Kyoto. The washer and dryer facilities were also extremely convenient and something we really appreciated during our trip.
We booked the Quad Room for 3 adults and 1 child and found it spacious enough by Kyoto/Japan standards. The room layout worked well for our family and provided enough comfort for our stay.
The hotel itself had a calm and relaxing atmosphere, and the staff were polite and professional throughout our stay.
Would we stay here again? Maybe, maybe not. While we enjoyed our stay and found the hotel comfortable and convenient, we would probably also explore other hotel options in Kyoto on future visits just to experience different areas and styles of accommodations.
Overall, The Blossom Kyoto was a solid and enjoyable stay with great amenities for travelers and families visiting Kyoto."
"Excellent location close to Kyoto Station. Large rooms with lots of amenities. Staff were very friendly and helpful when needed. The automated check in took longer than being checked in by an actual person. I would stay here again and would recommend."
"Location is excellent for Kyoto station - right opposite across road on right of station - less than 4-5 minutes walk - ideal also if you’re a train spotter and very quiet in room."
"Nohga was such a nice spot to call home base for our stay in Kyoto. It is just down the street from the Kiyomizu Temple. The breakfast every morning is so worth it. All of the bread and pastries are made in house from the bakery Cicon, located in the lobby. The room was pretty spacious for a Japanese hotel room, and we loved how there was a water filtration set up in our room for drinking water. Highly recommend!"
