We stayed in Kyoto Century Hotel for seven nights during our recent trip to Kyoto. The hotel is next to the Kyoto Station. After walking out the station through the north exit and turning right, you will see the hotel. The size of the room is decent. Furniture and décor are a bit old. The beds are comfortable for a...

The Kyoto Century Hotel is not a luxury hotel. Don't be put off by the rather ordinary external look. If you want a hotel that is clean, convenient for transport and shopping and with a very comfortable bed, this is the hotel for you. We spent four nights at the Century Hotel which is an easy 2 minute walk from... More

I had been running around all the hotels in Kyoto stations vicinity and they were all full except for Kyoto Century Hotel. The staff speaks good english. They didnt have any single rooms but i was offered a double room for the same price as a single one, 13000 yen. The lobby is huge and nice and staff is very... More

Just spent a week at the Kyoto Century Hotel. I usually stay and the nearby Granvia but coming into cherry blossom season it was booked out...so the Century it was. And there is really no comparision. The Granvia is an international standard hotel. The Century is a Japanese hotel which is not of international standard. The rooms are very small.... More

This is the perfect hub for touring various spots in and around Kyoto. As has been noted, it is next door to the beautiful Kyoto Station and a major bus hub. It is also a short walk from several temples that should be on anyone's short list for Kyoto: Toji Temple and Higashi Hongan-Ji. The hotel was very clean, and... More

Reserved this hotel through Rakuten travel (in Japanese). Got a Monday with breakfast rate. Hotel took a bit to find since Kyoto station is very very large but managed after stopping at the tourist information center or one could also go to the station information as well I guess. Was looking for a place very close to the station that... More

I stayed in 3 hotels in Kyoto, this one, Palace Side, and Hotel Centnovum. Of the 3, the Centnovum was a distant, distant, 3rd, and I had a hard time deciding which I liked better, this or the Palace Side. In the end, I think Palace Side wins, but this is a nicer hotel with a better location. Right next... More

This hotel is located about 2-minute walk from the Kyoto rail station and also next to the main bus terminal. That gives you an easy access to buses all around town and also helps with orientation. Surprisingly, being just next to the rails we thought there might be some noise from the trains but there was none! Very quiet. There... More

It's right by Kyoto station, on the right side once you exit the JR central ticket gate (I think). Within very short walking distance to buses (to most tourist attractions), the subway, and trains. It was 15000 yen per night for 3 people in the room (online booking discount on a Japaense booking site [was for ladies only]) which was... More
