Hotels near Rozan-ji Temple, Kyoto

The manager allowed us to check in early and prepared a lovely surprise with champagne, mochi, and a romantic decoration—an extra bed for our kid free of charge. Originally, we booked a Panoramic Suite but changed to a Garden Suite as we wanted to have breakfast in the greenery. The staff was super accommodating and let us use their company phone, as I left mine in the taxi. Luckily, we kept the receipt, and it is on its way back to us. Thanks so much for arranging. We extended for another day. The concierge booked a great Teppanyaki experience, a taxi on the way back by the front desk, as we were exhausted. Very thoughtful. Ultra-modern. Smart home system. TVs supported dual Bluetooth headsets, and we made movie night while our sonny was sleeping. Complimentary minibar, refilled every day. Including white wine, snacks, coffee, tea, etc. Breakfast was delivered to our suite every morning, varying every day. Imperial Palace is a few minutes' walk away. It has beautiful gardens and Riverside cycling, and we used the picnic blanket from the room for riverside lunch. The local market is impressive, with delicious confectionary shops. This hotel is located in the north, close to nature and most attractions. The train station is also a few minutes walk, but we have not used it. Most attractions are walkable. We prefer it to be quieter than downtown, so this was perfect.

I can check in by myself I love it

Large and comfortable rooms at the top floor as we booked the compact room, with all the amenities you could wish for and many drink options in the mini bar that are stocked up daily. Location was really good. The best were the staff. Genuinely friendly and going above and beyond to help you, five star hotel staff. The bath was also a nice experience as there is a little window. To look down on traffic. As we were on the top floor, the common area terrace was right next to our room and we loved having a drink with city views.

Great location, perfect for all things in Kyoto. Nice cafes within 200 metres for breakfast etc.

This is a lovely hotel - really well located, easily walkable - along the river - to many hotels and bars. Large, clean rooms, very helpful staff and the option of western or Japanese style rooms. We felt really welcome and staff were very helpful, even lending us umbrellas when there was a Kyoto downpour! The breakfast was great, with western and Japanese options. Overall our favourite stay of our trip to Japan!

The aesthetic of the whole place was great! I stayed here recently and honestly loved it! The facilities were super convenient — showers and the laundromat are on a separate floor, and everything was spotless. The rooms were big and quiet, with comfy beds that made it so easy to crash after a long day of exploring. Everything felt well thought-out and really comfortable. Definitely one of those hostels that makes you want to stay longer than planned! 💛
