I love Hotel Kuu. It's a 10 minute walk from Kyoto Station, a transportation hub for both the city and beyond. The staff is super friendly. The rooms are comfortable and there is a public bath on the property, which is a real plus as far as I'm concerned.

Loved the staff. Breakfast was the best I have ever had anywhere the very best. Servers and cooks worked very hard at making everything perfect. Front desk staff was more than helpful with every little need.. Small rooms but worth it. Would definitely stay here again. Great location. My husband loved the hot tubs.

Perfect spot to stay in for Kyoto. Has a little manga corner for you to use and our room had a beautiful view of the temple right across from it. Also has bus stops nearby and is walkable to many of the shopping malls and restaurants nearby. Room was more spacious than other accommodations that we had in Japan and lots of toiletries were provided for us to pick from in the main hallway. Staff was very kind and helpful (always greeted us coming in and going out of hotel, one staff member went above and beyond to help us with a laundry issue).

Highly recommended for a Kyoto stay
Amazing hotel in Kyoto. Just a short walk from Kyoto Station, an incredible temple across the street, public onsen onsite, and spacious room for Japan's standards. They securely held our bags until check-in time. We were close to bus and train stops that were convenient for getting to Fushimi Inari and Nara and lots of food nearby. Friendly service and comfortable room.
