Exceptional”

Hotel Resol Kyoto Kawaramachi Sanjo is in an absolutely fantastic location. The train station is a 10 minute walk away and bus stop is just around the corner from the hotel. Room interiors are wonderfully decorated with a balance between modern and traditional. The only thing to keep in mind is that the space is very small (for large luggages)!

Excellent Location, tiny room”

Stayed at Hotel Resol Kawaramachi in July when it was newly opened. Pros : Great location, bus tops within 2 min walking distance covering most common locations you will travel in Kyoto. Pharmacy and Supermarket at the corner. Many good restaurants near by. Cons: We picked a 20 sq m room which was a bit tiny and not so user friendly. Rate was cheap as it was newly opened. Would have chosen the bigger one for my next stay. Highly recommend to travellers who concerns about convenience and accessibility.

Fair Price but improvements are required for us to go back.”

We stayed in 3 hotels over 2 weeks in Japan and the notable perks/Issues of Hotel Resol (Kawaramachi) is listed below: 1. Good location (Cannot be more close to Nishiki Market without getting uncomfortable) 2. Room has all the required facilities and amenities. 3. Bad lighting in rooms at entrance where it is the only luggage space. (Overlook by Architect) 4. Reception did not have training as other hotels. (Cannot post postcards, etc.) 5. Cleaning was average, cups will usually not be washed for you.

Modern hotel in great location”

Right by the Samo River and Sanjo Station, this beautiful modern hotel served as a perfect two-night stay for my wife and I in Kyoto. Rooms were a little tight, but nothing legitimately concerning. Beautiful and clean lobby, I would absolutely stay here again.

Clean & Located at heart of town”

The room we booked is considered tiny, price is reasonable considering the hotel sits at the heart of town, walking distance from Sanjo or Kyoto Cityhall metro stations. Loads of foodies around and easy to roam and explore

Great location, clean and elegant rooms - would stay here again.”

The hotel is modern and sleek, and well placed in the Kawaramachi area. Easy walk to the local sights of Nishiki markets, Pontocho dining street, and short walk over the river to Gion district. There are a couple of train stations nearby and buses on the main road outside the hotel. Free espresso coffee machine in the main lobby's guest lounge was a nice touch. The tatami room was a reasonable size for Japan, especially the bathroom. Comfy bed. Lighting mood is a bit dark, and no view from my room (side alley only) hence the atmospheric paper screens over the window. Nice touch with a matcha tea and whisk kit, as well as green tea bags. Staff were very helpful but not overly familiar. I would stay here again.

Most Perfect hotel we have ever stayed in Kyoto.”

Our 2nd time in Kyoto. Glad to have found this hotel. "Living Lobby", a perfect place for a cup of coffee and creative work. Near to 2 different train stations, three 7-11 outlets with postcard printing machine, 4 different bus stops and countless bars, cafes and restaurants. Walking distance to 祇園 Gion and next to 先斗町 Ponto-chō. Baggage storage meanwhile waiting for the check-in and also check-out. The amazing team of staffs are friendly and very helpful. Our little boy has been feeling under the weather on the 4th day, the staff recommended a clinic nearby. Also during check-out, a taxi has been reserved a day earlier by the reception staff and was informed it would cost around ¥1500 to Kyoto Station. Taxi arrived on-time. Really hassle free, saved us a lot of time too and the cost exactly as been told earlier. For visitors, do consider to grab a taxi from/to Kyoto Station. We would surely return again.

Lovely hotel in an amazing location”

The hotel is in a great location, easily accessible by bus if you are coming into Kyoto train station. The decor is lovely, quite high end, and continues from the reception to the rooms. We loved the pyjamas! A street away is the gion area which had tons of restaurants and bars, though do your homework first to avoid paying over the odds for your meal. We went to many different sites all over Kyoto and always found it easy to get there using public transport from pretty much outside the hotel. We would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family.

Found a go to accommodation at the heart of kyoto!”

I like how close hotel resol is to shopping, food and transportation (bus stops are just outside the building). The staff are very friendly and polite. They are very generous when it comes to providing toiletries and cleans the room everyday. They also provide fresh/new pyjamas everyday! I will definitely comeback!

Great hotel!”

I had a great stay at this hotel. My room was clean and had just enough space for me as I was traveling solo. I loved the design of the hotel and the staff we polite and helpful. They also had fee coffee in the lobby and a cute toiletries bag in your room which you could take home with you. The location is perfect for shopping, food, and exploring. There are two train stations within walking distance of the hotel and it was easy to get to from Kansai Airport. There was a 7 eleven close by also and some discount stores. I would definitely book again when I come to Kyoto next time with my family. Lovely hotel.

Perfect little oasis in the heart of Kyoto”

Possibly the best hotel I've stayed at in Japan! Perfect for a couple, plenty of space (in terms of Japanese hotel rooms), very modern and stylish. Comfortable bed, fluffy pillows, and they have a blackout door to cover the window! Love the little Kyoto-esque touches, like a matcha set instead of coffee in the room and the zen entrance. Perfect location, easy to get to everywhere (especially Gion!). We've found that hotel rooms can be a bit warm in Japan, thankfully the window opens so we can sleep well. Highly recommend!

Exceptional”

This is the closest I can get to a ryokan, without paying for the premium prices. I love the modern japanese decor from the lobby, all the way into the rooms. The location is perfect, close to the food street and bustling night life. The room size is comfortable for 2 pax and they even offer complimentary green tea set for you to brew your own tea. I will return to this hotel when I visit Kyoto again.

Lovely hotel in perfect location”

This was a lovely hotel with wonderful, polite staff. It smells like a spa when you walk in and you feel relaxed immediately. There is a small, tastefully decorated lounge with coffee available at all times. Our twin room was spacious for Japan and very nice. Loved the blackout shades and the headboard which served as end tables. They gave us daily complimentary toilet bags, water bottles and towels, even when we skipped maid service for a day. Finally the location is terrific, easy to get to Kyoto station by bus and right next to Gion. Highly recommend this hotel.

Great location for first time travelers in Kyoto”

15-20 minutes bus ride from Kyoto station. Centralized location but very quiet since it's on the side street. Italian restaurant on site but not my cup of tea. I love Japanese food and was expecting more local food at the breakfast buffet. Single room is small, perfect for solo traveler with light luggage. Tatami floor. bathroom is spacious. Staff are professional and friendly. There is a clinic close to the hotel. The doctor there speaks English. Nothing wrong with this hotel but nothing exceeded my expectations either.

Best place to stay in Kyoto”

The location of the hotel is simply perfect, the rooms are very cosy and stylish and the staff is so friendly. If I ever come back to Kyoto, I definitely would choose this hotel again. We highly enjoyed our stay and I warmly recommend this hotel to everyone who wants to be in the city centre and having restaurants and markets in walking distance. And don't worry about eventual noise: our room was absolutely quite.

Book here NOW ”

Absolutely loved it here. Planning out a trip we were trying to make it as simple as it was for first timers who know no Japanese at all as possible and this place was perfect. The staff are so nice and helpful. The interior, the design, the rooms, everything was perfect. It looked so modern and I couldnt find a single thing wrong. The location is so nice, right next to some many shopping areas and restaurants. Right next to the river, a couple subways and a 15 minute bus ride from Kyoto Station which is so good if you are arriving from aiports. Highly recommend the JR pass as well. Soooooo helpful. Anyways, it's right at the heart of the city and the price is beyond reasonable. Amazing! Will be coming back indefinitely!

Really nice hotel in a great location”

Loved the friendly staff and ultra clean and comfortable room. Free coffee in the lobby and tea-making facilities in the room are just some of the nice touches. We felt so welcome. It’s also very convenient to the Gion district (a short walk across the river), the food market and shopping, as well as Sanjo station for getting to places farther afield.

Stylish new hotel in the heart of Kyoto”

Pros: great location right on Kawaramachi, nice Japanese deco with Japanese accents, good bed and air conditioning. Also good noise and light isolation so that you can sleep well with a jet lag Con: the restaurant is a bit dark, and in the basement, so we ended up having breakfast in other places. There is so much choice all around

Really lovely hotel close to all the action in Kyoto”

This is a lovely welcoming hotel really conveniently located near many shops, bars and restaurants in central Kyoto. Room was a little dark but it was nice and clean and the bed was very comfy. Staff speak decent english and were helpful when we wanted to send our bags to the next hotel. Would definitely recommend it and would stay again if I had the chance!

Nice room and great location”

Very nice indeed, with the smoking area downstairs, coffee machine at the common area. Room although small is slightly bigger compared to similar hotels in Japan. Nice surrounding with all the stores and restaurants. Not far from Gion also from restaurants at the canals. Two stations nearby. I would definitely stay here again if I visit Kyoto :)
