Kyoto Kamanza Hotel

We are older, independent travelers. Our expectations are for a quiet room in a good location and we are not interested in extraneous services. We stayed six nights in early May. The Kyoto Kamanza Hotel is in a wonderful location. It is on a quiet street in a nice Kyoto neighborhood. There are many small shops and restaurants nearby. We especially liked the Flip Up bakery just around the corner on Oshikoji-Dori where we went every day for croissants and pastries. It is also easy walking distance to the Karasuma-Oike subway station, the Nijo Castle, the Imperial Palace and the bus lines on Marutamachi-Dori. There was also a coin-op launderette on Karasuma that was within five minutes walk. So great to be on a quiet street in a real neighborhood, but at the same time be connected to the larger city. The hotel itself is lovely. It is small, newly built and very clean. We were told that the front desk might not be staffed during our stay, but someone was almost always there during the day and we were able to easily arrange leaving our luggage for a few hours on our last day in Kyoto. The room was spacious and the bath was fantastic with the toilet separate from the shower and large soaking tub. The air conditioning worked well. We never heard any of our neighbors.

This room was great value for money! Our beds were incredibly comfortable with two pillows to choose from (one softer, one harder) and the bathroom had everything you could need: shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, body lotions, hair dryer etc Staff was friendly too and everything very clean!

The room was a very good size for a Japanese hotel. Suite size. More than I needed. The room is beautiful and very well furnished. The staff were very helpful and accommodating when I needed additional items. It's located 450m from Nijo Castle and the Nijo Metro Station. I think the hotel presents a lot of value for the person staying. In a quiet area, if you like or are looking for that.

beautiful- and great beds and shower/bathroom supwr manager/front desk gentleman who also referred good restaurant recommendations including for vegetarian husband and helped forward on our luggage. very lovely ataff but we all use google translate of course!

This hotel is superb. The front desk is not always manned and the rooms aren’t serviced daily, but the staff are very friendly and helpful and can easily be contacted at any time. The rooms are spacious and beautiful - we had a double and a triple right next to each other with plenty of space and amenities available in the hallway. There is no laundry facilities or meals available but they gave a great cheat sheet about local places to eat/ laundry etc. Rooms very comfortable, quiet and aesthetically pleasing decor - very comfortable beds. Thus hotel is best value for comfort and quality in good quiet area of Kyoto. We would definitely stay there again.
