Terrace Kiyomizu Kyoto

Lovely staff made the stay very pleasant. They were always ready to help with explanations, umbrellas or extra pillows, and friendly greetings. They also dealt efficiently with receiving and sending our luggage to Tokyo. Amenities include a very useful laundry room; a free hot/cold drinks machine and a small kitchen in the lobby; and a terrace with chairs on the top floor. Location is good too (half an hour's walk from Kyoto train station, but close to Gion and Kiyomizu-dera temple).

The hotel is situated in the traditional neighborhood of Sannenzaka, just a small walk to Kyomizudera. There are many souvenir shops around, food stalls and sweets, so there are plenty of options for a quick bite. Even after they close at 18:00( yes quite early), there is a convenience store just a couple of minutes away. There is also microwave at the lobby where you can heat up food and eat it in your room or at the lobby tables. The room itself was spotless and spacious for Japanese standards. The bathroom was equipped with a new age toilet ( the one we all love) and shower products. I really liked the bed, which was very firm, but if you don’t, you can ask for a topper or extra pillows. If you want to go the center of the town or to the train station, there is a bus stop just a minute away. Finally, the people at the reception were the stars of this hotel. Very polite, friendly and helpful, ready to accommodate our every need. They will also store your luggage, if you have a late flight and give you cookies when you check out!

A delightful hotel. The staff were very nice. We appreciated the free coffee & filtered water in the lobby. We also enjoyed using the roof terrace. The coin laundry was helpful as well. The location was good for the activities we wanted to do. The room itself was a good temperature and very clean.

- Room: Super spacious and clean! - Location: Bus stop that connects to Kyoto station is 5 mins away. There are 2 rental kimono shops right beside the hotel. There is udon/shave ice restaurant located in front of the hotel. 15 min walk to the Yasaka pagoda. Great location because it's located near the bottom of the hill so you won't be hauling your luggage for a long time to get to the hotel. - Staff: Super nice and helpful! They gave us a parting cooking gift on check out. And they even asked if we had an umbrella when it was raining (super thoughtful staff!) - Ammenities: The terrace is awesome, especially on a sunny afternoon looking at Kiyomizu-dera. The drink machine had a very tasty lemon water drink haha. All in all, great hotel and would stay again! Thank you Terrace Kiyomizu!

Super highly recommend it. We were so sad to leave. We loved this place so much! The friendly and approachable staff were the highlight, they became like friends and were so helpful. Even the cleaning staff were so friendly. Excellent location, right in the heart of historical Kyoto, the value was incredible. Just a short walk to Kiyomizu Dera temple, and lots of cafes around. A family mart is just 10 mins away. The rooftop view is just beautiful at night and the rooms are so very clean. We loved this place so much! We want to stay here again!
