Urban Hotel Kyoto - Kyoto

The hotel is just enough. They kindly provided everything that I needed for short business trip. Should not expect luxury atmosphere and comfortable room for staying in daylight.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The location, while not next to downtown, is walking distance to one of the more beautiful shrines we saw while in Japan -- the Inari Shrine. It is well worth the visit. And the locaiton is walking distance (about 10 blocks or so) from the Inari Station. The hotel was very clean and breakfast fine (hard-boiled eggs and wonderful toast). It's just that […] the room was microscopic for a double room (smallest we had on our entire journey)...think "smaller than a cruise-ship room". Read more

The Urban Hotel in Kyoto is quite pleasing and modernized since the surrounding area has an old/traditional atmosphere. It's location is on the main street in the southern region of Kyoto line with restaurants and convenience stores. Getting to this hotel was a bit confusing since we went in through the back alley to the entrance. Just stay along the […] main road and it will be on the right side if you are walking the station aboard the JR Nara. It was about a 10 minute walk to get to the hotel. The staff is friendly, but lacks English communication. A little Japanese can go along way, but most of the staff are willing to guide you with what they can help you with to the best of their abilities. The room is small, but it was enough for my wife and I. We only stayed a max of 3 nights, but room is clean and good for a night's rest. The only problem is that there is no WiFi availability. There are public terminals offering internet for 100 yen for 10 minutes. However, there is internet in the room that is accessible only via ethernet. Other than that, no real complaints about this hotel. Read more

The staff of this hotel was very friendly, but the english level needs improvement. I tried to use my rusty japanese to practice it and because it is always nice to be aproached with your own language in your country. But when we needed to use english it was difficult for them. It would be great to have wi-fi. If not in the room, in the lobby. Averall […] this hotel was great because they really put their efforts to cover all of our needs. Read more

This hotel was not too convenient location-wise, as the ONLY bus only ran once an hour, the train was a 10 minute walk away (but ran every 10 minutes) and the subway was a 15 minute walk away. Its location added about 300 yen to daily expenses, plus an extra 30 minutes or so each way in commute time to get just about anywhere (most attractions are north […] of the Kyoto train station). The room was slightly larger than a hotel near the Kyoto train station where we stayed previously, which was appreciated. The staff were more helpful at Urban and had better English skills, too. The neighborhood was safe, and there were some good restaurants nearby. The laundry room on each floor was a great convenience. Note: since Japanese hotels charge by the person, not the room, it would have made sense to book two rooms and leave our suitcases in the second room. The rooms in Japan are THAT small. Read more

Hotel seems to cater more to Japanese visitors rather than to Western visitors. Front desk has limited English-speaking personnel. Room TV has no English channel. There is no lobby to speak of to relax and to do some reading. Neon sign for hotel is not in English.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We we're surprised how convenient this hotel was. The price was excellent and is near to bus and train routes. There are also a couple of beautiful temples at walking distance. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The small inconvenience as in all Japan is that is difficult to find somebody that speaks English, but they do their best to help you. The […] room was absolutely clean every day but in japanese size. Nevertheless one gets used to small spaces. Read more

For the low price, you get a small (typical Japanese business hotel) but super clean room with your own bathroom (bath tube and shower) Near many resturants (low and high price) including a Family Mart across the street). Best of all, it is 5 minute walk to the local train station (Ryoxxx university) and another 5 minutes to the main entrance of the […] famous Fushimi Inari Shrine and Inari JR station. Super convenient! Read more

It is only two train stops from Kyoto. It is an eight minute walk if your young or 420yen cab ride if you don't want to walk. Takes about 6 min by cab because you have to go in the opposite direciton because it is one way in front of the train station. Hotel has a laundry which is a plus. There is a small sushi resturant that is across the street. Great […] food. there is a noodle shop the 1st street down and to the right, Don't go unless you like starching unappealing noodles. Portions are huge, but I left most of my meal in the bowl, Not good. There is one of those egg omellete type resturants further down. Wife liked it, I hated it. Small Grocery stores abound if you want to buy stuff on you own. There is a 10,000 Tori Shrine across the street from the train stop, worth going to. room is typically small. had all the amenities Wife loved the Shushido hair products. The hotel is comfortable for the price range but not memorable Read more

Very very small room, with very small bed, looks like a dungeon. Very small bathroom, located quite far from the main attractions in Kyoto, close to Inari shrine. Room smelled of something weird.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

A very satisfactory hotel and value. A little hard to find due to signs, but fairly close to two different train lines and several good restaurants. Pleasant staff, very cooperative. Clean and quiet rooms. The standard bed is fine for one, but would be tight for two. Would recommend to anyone.

Room was small but clean and comfy. Hotel staff and adjoining Japanese restuarant were great! Only problem was that we were a little far out of central Kyoto then we had hoped, not the end of the world though. Also no wifi in hotel.

Our room was small but this was expected and suitable for a short stay. The staff were very pleasant and efficient. There was a restaurant attached to the hotel for meals in the evening and there were small restaurants and shops in the vicinity. The breakfast available for purchase was very reasonably priced but limited, i.e. fruit juice, cold boiled […] egg and coleslaw, toast and coffee/tea. Again suitable for a short stay. The hotel was a short walk away from a station and close to a number of Kyoto's tourist attractions. Read more

This hotel is a bit outside of the centre and its major attractions but it is still in a convenient location as you can get there from JR Fushimi Inari station (10 mins walk). It is walking distance to Fushimi Inari shrine, Toji (one of the best collections of buddhist statues) and the Zen gardens of Kofukuji. The room was small but clean and considering […] the price, we were happy. Read more

The hotel provides washcing machine at JPY200 for 30 minutes wash. The dryer is JPY100 for 30 minutes usage. There are vending machines at level 3 in the laundry room. They allow me to put my luggage as i arrived early and needed to rush to another town for a sightseeing trip.

This hotel is nearer by bus 105 from Kyoto JR station. Taxi ride from the station would cost around JPY1200. I had requested for non smoking room yet found the room is bad smell of smokes. The staffs are very polite. It sells the confectionary in the shape of Fox face (Fox is worshipped in Fushimi Inari) From Fushimi Inari station, walk straight through […] the long small road then passby a small bridge then turned to a junction. On the right side there is a small japanese bar. Cross the road to the petrol kiosk then walk straight. The hotel is opposite family mart (24 hours minimart). You could find "Rakuman" (tiny eateries in front of the train rails) to eat sweet grilled gyu-don which is popping hot in the middle of cold night. Fyi, I found Fushimi Inari is clean, newly renovated?, there is some cosntruction work at the moment, it is FREE. The hotel is an option if you are on the budget; however, it is quite a distant to most tourist attractions. Read more

We could not found any "worthy" from this hotel.

The hotel was very affordable. It was clean. Conveniently they let us check-in early for a small extra fee for a much needed nap for our little one. The location is not ideal - it is useful to get an all-day pass for the city, because all the sights are rather spread-out and also some distance from the hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was relatively easy to find as it was the only hotel around the area. Bedroom was very very small. And hotel was located in the neighborhood area. It is also about a 20 minute walk to the Fushimi Shrine. 10 minute walk to the nearer train station and about a 15 minutes walk to the JR train station. Staff are not very well-versed in English […] though. Read more

The hotel is not in the centre of Kyoto, as is probably obvious, but the surrounding area is still quite nice. Both Fusakusa and Inari train station are close by. After a 10-15 minute walk to Inari, which, depending on your route, can involve a very beautiful riverside jaunt, it's only a 5 minute trip to Kyoto station proper, which is covered by the […] JR pass should you have one. From there, the city can be explored either by foot or by the subway. Whilst you are indeed in urban Kyoto, you are by no means isolated from the city centre. The room itself is surprisingly large, considering both that it is after all a Japanese hotel and that it is quite cheap. The views are not spectacular, but the inside is quite comfortable and clean. The internet provided requires a device capable of plugging into a lan cable, which we did not have. The alternative is to utilise the internet downstairs in the lobby, which was plagued with a buggy and clunky interface. If you can, bring a laptop. The hotel is near a family mart as well as a petrol station. Overall, I would recommend the Urban Hotel if your budget is stretched and you need a reasonable, if cheap, place to stay, Read more

It was a very nice hotel, the semi-double beds are bigger than what I expected (typical London double bed) and it was tidy and laundry room was available. It had friendly staff who were adequate English speakers. It is also not too far from the JR station. Also a range of convenience stores and and restaurants near by.

일본 호텔의 특징이지만 좁지만 깨끗하게 관리 청소가 되고 종업원들이 친절했어요. 위치는 모든 교토관광의 시발점인 교토역까지 버스로 약 15분정도지만 그 버스(남5번)가 시간당 한 두대라는게 참 그렇죠. 사실 6-7분정도만 걸으면 시간당 최소3대의 버스(81번)가 있고 비슷한 거리에 한신전철이랑 jr전철 도 있지만 그래도 교토역주변이나 카와라마치역 주변호텔에 비하면 한 20분정도는 손해보고 들어가는거죠. 담당자의 실수인지 몰라도 벚꽃시즌 성수기임에도 엔화결제시에만 굉장히 싸게 예약가능했어요.

最寄駅の京阪本線・深草から、京都市内の四条、三条へは10分ちょっと（200円）です。またホテルから歩いて12分のJR奈良線・伏見から京都駅へは5分（140円）すぐ着きます。
