Hot Springs Hotels in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

I booked Junior Suite for 4 nights. Upon arriving the hotel, hotel staff was already waiting at the lobby. She led us to the Club at the 3rd floor to check in and arranged our luggage to deliver to our room. We had a few drinks and some Tapas at the Club before approaching to the room. The Club offers free flow of champagne, wine and drinks as well as snacks all day, it’s really a nice place to chill out before or after formal meal. Breakfast buffet at the 2/F was nice. A large variety of choices were available. I tried the massage service at the 2/F. It was nice too. Hotel staff got great hospitality. On check out date, they delivered our luggage to Kyoto Station for us to pick up there after our morning tour in Kyoto. Very thoughtful arrangement.

Ala Kyoto Hotel is superb! I stayed for my birthday and it was lovely - clean, great location (near to Kyoto station) and easy enough to get the bus to Gion (shopping area). The staff’s customer service was exceptional - went through extra lengths for my birthday and sorted out forwarding our luggage. The hotel’s laundry facilities were great, the gym was a little small but had what you really needed if you wanted to run/cycle/elliptical. I didn’t try the onset but imagine it was good! Nothing to complain, the rooms were lovely! - stayed in both the double and twin - lots of space in both (larger than most in Japan). Highly recommend, the prices are usually good but stayed during golden week, so the prices were inflated but still worth the money. 10/10.

Hotel’s reception is on the 9th floor where guests can have public hot spring bath. Separate gender. They provide kimono, jacket and wooden clogs to walk around. Coin laundry at basement. Free drink from 1600-1830 hr at the rooftop bar. View is amazing with sunset. Hotel is located centrally to the temples and two stations.

The location is very good. Close to Kyoto downtown area. Hankyu train and Kyoto Subway line are close to the hotel.

The landlord’s Chinese communication barrier-free environment: two floors, two bathrooms and one bathroom. The layout is very careful and the place is large. The tatami bed, kitchen and toilet facilities are complete, including hand sanitizer, seasonings, detergent, oven, Induction cooker, rice cooker. Transportation: The location is not very convenient. I only found it after walking through several alleys. I was still helped by a Japanese uncle. The positioning was not accurate enough. It is recommended that the host can draw a picture for the guests to make it more convenient. The family is very satisfied, the price is good, and the host also gave red wine!

The hotel's environment and rooms are very beautiful, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery. Although there is no convenience store near the hotel, there are different drink options in the hotel. The dinner provided by the hotel is also good. The hotel staff understands English and their service attitude is very friendly, but The only drawback is that the tent room does not provide a separate bathroom

Very near the ninshi-Maizuru station, just 3 min walk to reach. The bus go to Kobe just infront of station only… I enjoy the solo trip.

The environment is great, the location is great, right by the Uji River, all rooms are facing the river, and there is a small balcony to enjoy the view~ The room is very Japanese style, pure tatami, and the layout is very warm~ There are two hot springs, open-air and indoor, separated by time for men and women, both can be experienced, and there was no one there when I went~ The room has a small bathtub, but it is indeed not as good as going to a hot spring~ Matcha-flavored fruits and tea bags were given, and it was quite nourishing to make tea and eat something in the room~ In fact, there are few tourists staying in Uji, and the hotel is very quiet~ The name of the hotel seems to come from the Tale of Genji, the content of the Uji Ten Chapters~

I visited for a family trip. I made a reservation for a shuttle bus by phone, but it is quite far from the city center. It is quiet and the air is good, so I am satisfied. Dinner and breakfast were delicious. I think the large bath and open-air bath are not bad. It smells a little like Lux. I was a little disappointed that there was no ice cream that was supposed to be given for free after bathing. I made a reservation for a room with an open-air bath, and the atmosphere was very good and I was very satisfied. The bedding was clean and soft, so it was better than a bed. The staff was also friendly, which was nice. The location may be a pity, but if you think about the atmosphere of Shoenso, it is not crowded, so I would like to visit again.

Although the hotel is far away, the rooms are new and clean. The hotel is spacious and you can spread your suitcases equally. I will stay here again next time
