This is a gem! The room was big and cosy with all the necessary amenities, staff is absolutely amazing (they go above and beyond), and the whole place is so welcoming! There are lots of bakeries, restaurants and convenience stores nearby, and it’s easy to walk around or grab the metro. It was a pleasure staying here and I would love to return.

Best Hotel in Kyoto!
Beautiful Boutique hotel perfectly located in Kyoto. Only 12 rooms in the hotel so you get personalized service the entire stay.
Plenty of English speakers so communication was never a problem.

The room was spacious and beautiful with all the amenities you need. The staff was wonderful and made us feel so welcome. They received our luggage and brought it to our room and also booked a taxi for us on our last day. Very short walk to a train station and shops and restaurants.

My wife and I traveled to Kyoto as part of our first trip to Japan and we both agreed, without a doubt Villa Sanjo Muromachi was a - of not the - highlight of our trip. A beautiful boutique hotel with spacious rooms, beautifully decored that make you feel right at home in the heart of historic and charming Kyoto. We opted to have breakfast served to our room and specifically the Japanese version which we did not regret. The service is top notch and especially the bartender. First rate cocktails 😉 Thank you!

Layout
The layout, at least on our floor, 3rd, was 3 rooms on the floor. Our two bed room was at the front. Our parents King bed room was in the middle with only a lightwell. Then there was a rear room. Breakfast must be arranged each day at least 24hr in advance. Love the couch in the room. Great shower and bath area. Comfortable Beds. AC works very well. Not sure if there was any individual heat or if it was a whole bldg system. Location is very convenient for getting around. In our room there wasn't good space for very large suitcases. Ther was one rack in the closet which worked ok and floor space near the couch/coffee table
