Hearton Hotel Kyoto

The location of the hotel was great! less tha a block from the subway station and a couple of blocks away from great places like the Kyoto Imperial Palace. From this place it´s easy to reach some other great sightseeings. The staff was friendly and helpfull, the amenities are ok, there is a coin laundry in the non pair floors, and some vending machines for that late night snack!

We came from Hilton Osaka Hotel, so the first impression of the room was that it was small. But for the price we pay, it's expected and reasonable. Stay was comfortable, staff helpful, location close to subway station, walking distance to shopping and food. Got to see the city, river, temples, parks of Kyoto. Overall, a good experience in Kyoto.

This is a moderately priced, well located, comfortable hotel in Kyoto. We stayed five nights and were very happy.

I attended a conference held at Kyoto International Conference Center. This location was much more convenient and better than the hotels designated by the conference. It was within a couple of minutes from the subway. Dinner and breakfast were excellent, and well worth the price. Room was clean, and internet access included. Lack of an English channel on TV was the only problem (I found this to be the case at many other hotels as well)

Convenient location close to subway and bus routes. Several blocks from Starbucks. Friendly staff. Free internet, but they said they would be charging soon. TV had English option for BBC and CNN. All in all a good choice!

I will return for sure... great prices vs performance

The Hearton Hotel in Kyoto is in a great location. The staff are friendly and always helpful. It was ok value for money. Would recommend to anyone.

Centrally located, very quick walk from metro stop. Clean and good looking. Rooms are spacious.

Our 3-week stay in Kyoto had us changing hotels several times in order to get the best value. Thus we had a taste of two different "expensive" hotels (the Grand Prince and the New Miyako), in addition to the much more budget-friendly Hearton. While the rooms were understandably smaller than those in the more expensive hotels, at no point did we find it too small. With our first stay lasting 11 nights, the small size had ample time to get on our nerves, but it didn't. For those new to Kyoto but determined to employ public transit as opposed to the very expensive taxis, the Hearton's location couldn't be better. About 3 minutes walk to Karasuma-Oike station, the intersection point of the two main subway lines (Tozai and Karasuma). Only 3 stations away from Kyoto station, yet at a price per night much less than any hotel near Kyoto station. The front entrance is modern and sleek, with thick-paned, sliding glass doors. The staff are very friendly, and very likely to greet you every time you walk through the doors. The breakfast buffet, while smaller than some hotels, is a great value at 1000 Yen each, as opposed to the 2000 Yen each we paid elsewhere. The bed was good quality and comparable to those at the more expensive hotels. However, be advised that virtually all Japanese beds are notably firmer than we North Americans may be used to, at least in our experience. Laundry facilities are available on 3 different floors, at a reasonable price. Also, unlike, the more expensive hotels, internet is provided in your hotel room, and completely free! By all means, if we can stay at this hotel again in the future, we will!
