This hotel tries to come across as a semi-authentic ryokan experience, which has to be your taste. We didn't really care for it. We (3 adults) shared one of their smaller rooms together, but we tried to be out as much as possible. We found the rooms to be very uncomfortable, as there was really no place to sit down... More

Stayed here with my son and husband in a large room which accommodated up to 5 people, plenty of storage space, comfortable futons, nice linen, including the pyjamas for tripping down to the onsen. Walked miles during the day so lovely to soak in the onsen in the evenings. Breakfast is pre ordered the evening before with a choice of... More

Just stayed at Hotel for 3nights at Village Kyoto. Location wise quite central. About 5min walk to Omiya train station which is about 1-3 stops away from the main strip of Kyoto. You can walk this distance also especially in the evening after dinner and taking the bus is slower due to the traffic! Thought I'd write a post abt... More

After a week or more of taking two hotel rooms for our family of four, Village Kyoto was a welcome change! Modern, roomy and well priced, it accomodated our family of four plus my sister, who travelled with us for week, without any problem. Coming through the door, you entered a hallway with full length wardrobes and a place for... More

This hotel is conveniently located on major bus and train / subway routes to most of the major sights in Kyoto. Dining options in the immediate vicinity are somewhat limited but there are many restaurants a short bus/train ride away. We found an excellent Indian restaurant a short walk from the hotel (ask the concierge for directions). The hotel room... More

My husband and I stayed at the Village Kyoto for three nights during our trip in June. We picked this hotel because we wanted to try something a bit more traditional (but not the most traditional ryokan type because we want the flexibility to try restaurants outside.) The room is compact yet functional. We pull out the futon chairs each... More

This place has some features of a ryokan (tatami rooms, communal bath) but is essentially a relatively low cost modern place. Good option for a family room and a very good communal bath room (big bath and nice washing areas). Actually I would say that the big communal bath is one of the big pluses of this place. Breakfast is... More

We were there in January 2011. The room was so cold that we had really difficulty to enjoy our stay. The service was good, the room was really nice. But the undersized heating system was not efficient at all and we really suffered from the cold. The location is not really convenient either. It is quite far from every interesting... More
