We LOVED Rakuro Kyoto and would come stay here again! The staff was so nice and helped me book a breakfast while I was there, and were just lovely people. The room was great, and felt slightly bigger than other Japanese hotel rooms. The amenities at this hotel were so nice, and made coming back to the hotel something we looked forward to instead of just being someplace to sleep at night. The location is great, around the corner from a subway stop, right on the main road for the busses, and next to a great park.

Absolutely incredible stay. The room was beautiful, the staff was kind and accommodating, the facilities were unreal, and two major sightseeing destinations and a train stop were within walking distance. Highly recommend; we splurged for our honeymoon but are now unlikely to stay anywhere else.

Lovely Stay!

I loved our stay in Kyoto. This hotel is close to two bus stops and a subway stop. The restaurant downstairs is also lovely. The laundry on-site is also a huge win. The only thing that we didn’t enjoy was the lack of wifi. The service was spotty at best.

Nice modern rooms combined with a traditional Japanese style. The bathroom was a good size with a separate area for sink and toilet and a wet room shower/bath. The location was good, just around the corner from Marutamachi underground station, linking to main Kyoto station via the Karasuma line. The hotel is also only a short walk to the Kyoto imperial palace park. Breakfast was nice, I had the western option which was a section of bread rolls, eggs, tea, smoothie and soup. The hotel also has a very pleasant lounge area for guests to sit and relax. Staff were very attentive and polite and rooms were kept very clean and well looked after. I would definitely stay again.
