I highly recommend Doria Hotel. This is a great location and great value for money. It is very close to a green metro line station and so easy to get to from the train station. This is a budget hotel, so there are no frills, but I spent very little time at the hotel as there is so much to see and do in Kyoto. It was very clean and I found the bed and pillow very comfortable.Doria Hotel is in walking distance to the city centre activities and close the metro and main buses to see the attractions.

The room is only serviced if you stay longer than 5 days. I was ok with this, but some may prefer a daily serviced room. Fresh towels are available in reception.

Staff was actually present to check us in, which has been rare in Japan lately (2025). The manager even chatted with us as we checked out. A little friendliness goes a long way and we really appreciated it. The room was clean, spacious and had a closet and desk. Bed was comfy and we rented bikes from J cycle up the road everyday to bike around & explore. It was the best and we adore Kyoto (my 2nd time here!). Great location and lovely map of the city in the entry way and toiletries. Would 10/10 recommend. We hope to stay again.

No window to see out of, its covered in opaque glass. No common area to chill in. Bath tub is comically small but we still enjoyed it!

--the cleanliness --the bed --the spacious room --facilities --location - a leisurely walking distance to the shopping area --near supermarket Fresco - can buy ready to eat food and bring back to the hotel (wait until discounted!!) --near yoshinoya --theres a bento place also just before yoshinoya, with a cheap bento for 680 Yen. Selling only from 1100-1300. hotel also provide microwave and you can heat up your food --if youre up for walking, ( I love walking so I can see what's the place has to offer) you can walk to the Kiyomizu-dera and what's around it. its a long walk about 40 mins. from the hotel to the main road then turn left and all the way straight --theres also a small public bath house (Sento) Ume Yu , about 17 mins walk. nice to soak during winter time. this is not onsen, just a public bath house, you can find them on Google too. cheap entrance at 560 Yen including small towel. otherwise bring ur own reasonable size towel

so far none that I could think of

We stayed for an overnight’s sleep at Hotel Doria. The check-in and check-out were smooth. The guest room is spacious, with separate toilet from bathroom, and separate wash basin for tooth brushing. The room has complete amenities e.g. 2 worktables and 2 chairs, good-sized beds with thick, warm duvets that kept us comfy for a good night’s sleep during wintry night. Cleanliness was top-notch from the reception area, elevator, guest room corridor and the guest room itself.

That guests had to dispose the garbage from their room themselves. Quite a walk from the train station (it was winter time).

Everything about my stay was amazing. Great location, close enough to the subway, food options around and so much more! Check in and check out was so easy and simple. Great that they had a laundry room to do some laundry during my stay. The rooms were spacious as well compared to other places I have stayed. Highly recommend booking this hotel for your Kyoto trip. Nice and quiet area!

There is a small window and the sensor lights came on and off constantly and stayed on for quite a while before it turned off again. Would recommend a blind or curtain to block that part. Interrupted my sleep quite a bit. Also would have preferred two pillows

Spacious, clean, and modern. The location was convenient, with a well-connected metro station nearby. The room had ample space for luggage and moving around. The staff was friendly and assisted us in arranging the shipment of our luggage back to Tokyo. Towels and other amenities were available at reception, as well as a laundry room.

Cleaning service is only available for stays longer than four (or possibly five) nights.

The place was comfortable and clean and reasonably enough priced!

There was no airflow in room upon arrival and felt quite stagnant. I have issues with allergies and need airflow. I totally understand wanting to conserve energy and it might be difficult to do so due to the demands of staffing and time available but I would recommend trying to turn on the mini-split system prior to someones arrival.

Very modern and clean, small boutique hotel feel but the room was quite big for Japan. Coin laundry and amenities offered.

Location is good although you need to walk half an hour or use public transportation to any of the more lively / touristy areas. The light in the room due to windows may be strong for some sensitive people but they offer eye covers. It didn’t bother me personally.

It was near the underground station, in a central location. Kyoto is big, so I still needed to take the bus or tube to move around. The room was comfortable, with a window but without a view. They had laundry available to use by guests on the ground floor. It works with coins, so that was very convenient.

It's just a hotel with room. No restaurant or cafe on site.

The location is very close to Gojo subway station and bus stops, you can easily access to the city center. The room is very clean, they provide you clean towels, tooth brush etc. The personnel is very kind. The room size is enough for multiple guests. There are washing and drying machines in the lobby. I strongly suggest this hotel in Kyoto.

Everything was great, but the drying machines are not working properly. I dried my clothes twice, but they were still wet.
