Amazing place to stay. The staff was helpful and polite. The rooms were clean and cozy. Hairdryer, slippers, sleeping robe, shampoo, tea, kettle, fridge, legendary Japanese washlet, TV, flashlight, all available in the room. Washing machines and microwave owen on the first floor. Nice view from the rooftop with a terrace. The beds were comfortable and long enough even for a tall European like me. The whole building is nice and modern. Lovely sakuras blooming at the river in front of the hotel. This hotel is great for people who came to Kyoto to travel a lot and just wanting a comfortable place to spend a night. We had stayed here for eleven nights and really enjoyed our stay. It was definitely much more than we could get for the same money in Europe! One can walk to underground and train stations in less than five minutes. To Fushimi Inari and Kyoto station in about twenty minutes. The area is nice a safe. If I get back to Kyoto, this hotel will be my first choice again!

The only little obstacle was that the room was very small and there was not much space for clothes, no wardrobes etc.

- The breakfast was exceptional! They were awarded The No.1 Breakfast in Kyoto and boy it was certainly delicious. Although there weren't as many varieties as some other hotels, I just couldn't get enough of their open sandwiches. Other foods at the breakfast were also great. They are open to walk-ins for ¥3,000 and every day I saw such customers. So make sure you book with breakfasts, it's a steal! - The staff were really friendly and professional, even above the already high Japanese standard - They had native English speaker staff - The room was spacious and spotless - It had a decent smart TV with Netflix, Prime Video, etc. Unlike other hotels, they didn't lock out these features

- It was a bit of a walk from everything - The lighting in the room was too dark

Absolutely everything! Couldn't fault a single thing, amazing hotel, amazing staff, amazing atmosphere. All staff were welcoming, even the cleaners were lovely and polite, but a special shout out to Chen and Wakai! Hope they will be there on our next visit! 10/10 hotel and stay, I miss the wonderful shower already 😭 The location was perfect for someone like me who likes to explore, located right next to a beautiful little river. Trains were close by from all directions. Can't wait to come back!

That I couldn't stay longer even though I was there for 7 nights 😭

Highly recommended. A clean, pleasant hotel worth much more than its price. The staff are always kind and ready to help out. You can access several metro lines by walk: two on a 5~10-min distance, another one takes about 15 min. The Kyoto main train station is 2 stops away by the closest city subway line. The area itself is quiet and peaceful. It is also close to two beautiful well-known temples - Tohukuji and Fushimi-inari zinzya. Across a small river right by the hotel, on the way leading to the temples, there is a small street stretching from north to south. You can find there some small cafes and restaurants with quality food, atmospheric local shops.

Great staff, very good location close to metro and central, plenty of restaurants around (many with Korean food/bbq). Lovely room and amenities.

Nothing I can think of to be honest

This hotel is amazing. Spotlessly clean, elegantly designed and all the facilities you need. The staff are so lovely, went above and beyond when helping us with the local area. Breakfast was exceptional, presented beautifully and was delicious. After 4 days here we were sad to leave and actually miss it! When we return to Kyoto won't plan on staying anywhere else. Highly recommended.

Everything was perfect, brought some instant coffee to make in our room so a couple of sachets provided might have been nice but really wasn't a problem.

The Reign Hotel room I booked was huge by Japanese standards, having two beds. The view was good, and despite being located near a major intersection, the sound from the street was well-dampened. The beds were comfy enough. This hotel is located close to Fushimi Inari, if you intend on doing that. It was also easy to get to the subway line for locations north. For other locations like Arashiyama, you might find this location not ideal.

The water temperature would jump up and down unpredictably every 30-60 seconds, which was a nuisance. I know tankless water heaters do this sometimes, but this was especially annoying.

Such a beautiful property! Everything was well-maintained and stylish. The rooms felt almost extravagantly large for Japan - if you’ve got the money, spring for the balcony room, as it’s a great perk and has a nice view of the city and the mountains. Little details like a provided charger and water already in the fridge were nice extra touches. The staff spoke excellent English, which was very generous and made check-in very easy for me as a foreigner. Every time I passed the front desk they were kind and welcoming. I never ate at the restaurant, but the good definitely looked amazing and the ease of access was appreciated! There was pretty easy access to the subway line and buses, and a beautiful walk to Fushimi Inari, one of the major spots to see in Kyoto.

Location. For personal reasons I had to visit a hospital facility and it was very convenient. Besides, it was very near a subway station and a train station. We loved to have long walks alongside the Kamo River. There are many traditional restaurants that are hidden gems for tourists. the restaurant for breakfast and brunch is unbeatable. If people would know how delicious, nutrient and with many plates served at the hotel restaurant, it will be fully booked. now they have a Rooftop Happy Hour where to have a beautiful panoramic vie of Kyoto and enjoy a pleasant time. Having said the foregoing, the most important thing to us was the staff. Extremely kind and committed to do their best to please the guests. They are the most important part of the wonderful experience we had last year and this year.

we like everything about this hotel.

The hotel has really good vibes, and super clean. The location was really nice, decent walking distance to tourist attraction, Fushimi Inari Shrine. Service was exceptional, having front desk person who can speak English well is a bonus point!

The lightings in the room could’ve been better. It was a little too dimmed. It could also use the space under the bunk bed be more functional (bigger table, maybe?)
