"If you are staying here it is awesome. Might be tricky getting there and getting food if not B&B but the place is amazing. My only downside was in my dietary requirements but the food that i could eat was delicious "
"This is a great hotel with very friendly and helpful staff who make you feel welcome. We highly recommend this hotel in Kyoto.
We especially want to thank E. Fujii, who helped us a lot when my husband became ill."
"We loved this hotel and their amenities, such as the communal foot bath and beverage station! The location was great, very close to a metro station and various good restaurants. Their breakfast buffet was also very delicious. It was a good balance of Japanese and western dishes."
"Location amazing, just right in the corner of Kyoto Station, breakfast amazing, love the room especially the bathroom is big clean lovely. We really enjoyed to stay here."
"We thought for the price this was a wonderful value, great and helpful staff, anything you could want and cute activities / snacks seemed to be available in the lobby each day."

This was our first stay at a rhyokan (spelling!)and we were blown away by the beauty, The comfort (personally I felt sleeping on tatami mats on a futon perfect). The attentive service was welcoming and spot on.
We ate breakfast and dinner here and the local food was abundant, gorgeously presented and flavorful.
We had a room with a private Onsen on a deck. Highly recommend.
This was a unique, peak experience and I am a seasoned traveler. Do it.
This hotel is fabulous. The rooms are stylish and the location could not be better. It is right next to a subway station and an easy trip from Kyoto station. The breakfast is tasty with many choices. The rooms are a little on the small side for Americans...we are from New York City so pretty typical for NYC standards. Would 100% stay here again. Five star for food, design, location, and service.
The room was very big with a beautiful view of the forest. There was a nice wooden bath in the room and a very large communal bath. The breakfast and dinner were delicious, but there is only Japanese food and green tea, so if you want something else you should take it with you. All in all it was a wonderful ryokan experience at a very reasonable price.
Just steps from baggage claim in the airport terminal this hotel can't be more convenient, particular for international travelers transiting via Osaka to other domestic destinations in Japan.
Most amazing space, room, location, and food. 10/10 would recommend. Had more than enough room to spread out, relax, and not feel cramped at all. Location to the main train station was also a plus, and the restaurant in the hotel was amazing.
The hotel is well situated in the downtown area of Kyoto, close to Nishiki market and plenty of shopping and food options. Our room was a nice size with a comfortable bed. The only complaint about the room was the lack of 100V outlets.
I've stayed in many hotels in the country and know this is not always provided, so I'm not faulting the hotel too much for this. The breakfast was one of the best in all the hotels we stayed at during the trip throughout the country. The amenities were also...
Overall, a great stay in Kyoto for tourists: convenient location; friendly service and ample ammenities; high quality breakfast buffet; and spacious & comfortable room. Would highly recommend!
I had a great stay at THE GATE Hotel in Kyoto! The property is modern, clean, and well-maintained. One of the highlights is definitely the top floor, where the reception and bar are located—it offers a stunning panoramic view of the city, especially at sunset. The location is super convenient, just a short walk from the train station and close to several local attractions, which made it easy to explore Kyoto. Overall, a comfortable and stylish place to stay. I’d definitely come back!
The hotel is very nice and the staff is incredible, but the location is not the best. Everything is about 20 min walk, which doesn’t seem much, but it is because google maps thinks we all walk fast. Hotel is super clean and beautiful
Cetral location. Great spa n breakfast. Stunning brfst view of Temple. 3 min to nearby Garden. Walking distance from Kyoto Station. Nearby Hiro yakiniku is unforgettable.
The hotel staff was amazing. Super helpful and very friendly. Beautiful hotel with a gorgeous roof top view. Kyoto was a dream. Can’t wait to go back. Location was excellent as well. We. Will definitely be staying at Soraniwa again. Thank you to the staff for making our stay so special
