10/10 Excellent

Great stay close to great restaurants and station.
Ruel, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very nice hotel with spacious rooms and well designed bathrooms. Soothing colours and decor. I liked the location as it was a short walk from many points of interest and a subway stop but outside of the tourist zone.
Stephanie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great staff and breakfast was wonderful. The neighborhood is just amazing. Plan on returning to Kyoto and staying here again.
Justin, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Cute little hotel. Very clean. Nice bathrooms. I LOVED the fact that there was onsite coin laundry. They also had a nice afternoon lounge with some drinks and snacks. Breakfast selection was limited, but freshly prepared.

I can’t recommend this hotel highly enough, it was fantastic!! I stayed with my 2 teens (we know they can be ahem a challenge to delight) and they are raving too! Loads of space, huge well appointed room and bathroom, fabulous lounge which we took full advantage of. Really walkable, delightful staff and breakfast to die for. We will be back for sure!!

Cute Boutique Hotel

We only stayed here for 1 night but it was a pleasure. The staff is so nice and wonderful. They had our room ready as soon as we got here well before check in time. They also honored our “VIP” status and gave us free breakfast for 2. Additionally, the lounge offers free snacks and beverages throughout the day, including alcohol. Overall, we loved it. I highly recommend

This is an excellent hotel, with a small, but lovely lounge. We received a call the morning after checking in that our status with Expedia provided free breakfast. This was very nice. The staff are excellent. Would stay again.

Comfortable, Modern Stay with free drinks!

Great stay at The General Kyoto - an easy 15 minute walk to a great dining/restaurant area and the Gion District. Clean, comfortable, well-appointed room and a nice bonus of a Lounge with free (!) drinks and snacks during the day and cocktails, snacks & desserts at night.
Sarah, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

They had a nice and quiet lounge to relax and enjoy some snacks with the added comfort of reliable internet to do some work. The location is convenient to getting around Kyoto either by walking, bus, or train.
Thao, 2-night trip

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location is great, right next to the market and close to a train station. The room was super nice, clean, and amenities were great. A nice perk was having a happy hour.
