The hot spring is very comfortable, and the room is distinctive. Thank you for the little surprise.
JapanSora Niwa is an excellent place to stay at. The location is centric and extremely close to the railway station (Gate 2A) is less than 100m and in the same side of the Hotel ( Take the green subway from Kyoto station go down in Shijo and finally take the railway Hankyu-Kyoto for only one ride to Karasuma station - Just to add as this might help someone, this railway goes all the way from Kyoto to Kobe, so travelling to Kobe from here is quite convenient). The strolls along the Kamo river were nice during the evenings - after the harsh summer sun. The Onsen is perfect - temperature, ambiance, services, super quite and overlooking the beautiful Higashiyana mountain range. The breakfast is superb, their vento box, or tamatebaco, is really a set of surprises with delicious delicacies and superb koshihikari rice. Great place to enjoy Kyoto. They also have a separate guest house (Bettei), I guess I will be staying there next time. Thank you Sora Niwa for making my stay memorable!
KenyaThis hotel opened only two years ago so everything is imaculate. The veiw of the eastern mountains of Kyoto is excelent. Regardless of the fine fittings the quality of a hotel is dependent upon the staff that great the visitors. Management have obliously taken it into account when, along with the traditional excelent service provided by Japanese, they have also employed non-Japanese staff to ensure complete problem free comunication in English.
JapanI enjoyed the bento breakfast! Everything was tasty and well crafted. The foot onsen was a delight after walking around the city. The staff I encountered were courteous, friendly and a joy to interact with.
United StatesAn exceptional hotel, probably the best I've ever stayed in. The rooms are extremely spacious, and luxurious. The staff were all extremely pleasant and helpful. Onsens on site, and the rooftop bar was definitely the highlight. An overall amazing experience, would definitely come back.
AustraliaFantastic hotel. Great location, great staff. The onsen with the views was spectacular. Appreciated that the hotel provided yukata to walk around the hotel / go to the onsen in. The terrace with the footbath is also worth doing (we could only do it once due to weather, but it was still great).
United StatesLOVED the terrace! The views and foot bath were wonderful. The rooms were also very well equipped and beautiful.
United StatesI highly recommend this hotel. The location was just perfect for the Gion area, just around the corner from the river, close to train station and shops and local attractions. The staff were fabulous, the amenities just perfect - everything about it was 100% - I cannot fault at all - the rooftop terrace is a must as is the onsite onsen. The room was absolutely perfect for myself and the staff so helpful - I will definitely go back.
Australiaamazing view, very clean, very friendly staff. overall a beautiful hotel that was very nicely located. the morning complementary coffee was delicious. the bath services were outstanding. All the staff was incredibly gracious, kind, and welcoming. HIGHLY recommend.
