Must stay if you come Kyoto”
Stay this hotel for two nights in Kyoto. Near to Omiya station and Shijo Omiya station. There are few bus station nearer the hotel if you would like to take city bus. Visited the Arashiyama bamboo side by using 嵐電, which just located 1minutes away from hotel. You can go to Kawaramachi area by metro Omiya station which also just 1minutes from hotel. Convinient locatio in Kyoto and friendly staffs. Everyone are smiling and greet you. There are free breakfast and you can cook a simple dish. Breakfast are egg/ham/tuna/bread/sandwich/salad/fruits/soup and plenty of drinks that you can take. Room are big and two luggage can fix and open. Hotel is new, clean and I will stay again if visit Kyoto in future.

Clean and comfortable stay!”
We were greeted by friendly staff every morning on our way to the lounge for a simple yet very satisfying breakfast. Beverages like coffee/tea and soft drinks were always available, which we enjoyed after returning from a long day touring Kyoto. Rooms were the typical small size you'd find in the city, but were clean and functional. Upon checking-in, we opted for the eco-friendly room cleaning service, and in exchange were given tokens to redeem free drinks from their vending machine. What a great idea, since we didn't think it was necessary to change towels everyday! There were many nice touches at the hotel which helped us with our planning, such as daily weather updates posted in the elevator, maps and handouts in the lobby recommending local attractions and restaurants, as well as other free amenities. Our family enjoyed daily stops at the nearby grocery store for snacks and ice cream, which we enjoyed at the hotel lounge every night before heading to bed. We hope to stay again!

Great location, excellent attention to details!”
Stayed here for 4 nights during my visit to Kyoto. I like the cleanliness of the hotel rooms and their attention to details. Staffs are friendly and some of them could speak Chinese. Breakfast though simple, was decent. The hotel is just a few mins walk from Omiya station.

worth to come, need improvement in breakfast ”
Overall, the hotel is good, e.g. new, modern, clean, good facilities, and free soup and drinks, etc. The only setback is the breakfast is not as good as those provided by chain boutique hotels, both variety and quality can be improved. Although it's far from kyoto station, the hotel is quite close to other two different railways line's stations, so to me it's nothing to complain about it.

Welcoming modern hotel”
A breath of fresh air in Japan - a hotel with a warm feel that welcomes you as you go in, friendly front desk staff speaking great English with lots of information. The hotel has prepared copies of multiple sheets with details of transport to attractions, nearby restaurants, and how to get to the airport etc - a lot of detail which is all very accurate and most helpful. Breakfast was included and whilst budget was more than plentiful with bread options, cereal, salad and meats, and juices and coffee from a machine all complimentary. Room itself whilst small was modern and has lots of plugs, USB chargers, big TV and fast internet that never failed once. Great location - I wish there were more 'warm' modern hotels like this in Japan!
Dear Mr.Richard, Nothing can express our happiness when knowing you had a great time in our hotel. Thank you very much for the fantastic review, which motivates us a lot in work. We sincerely hope to welcome you again on your next trip to Japan. Thank you and best wishes!
Good choice to stay in central of Kyoto. ”
The location is good and easy to visit kyoto. Cozy room and nice staffs. Enjoy the free hot soup and coffee every morning. The nearest exit of Omiya station is No.5 (we found it at the last day :P )
Thank you for staying at karaksa hotel Kyoto 1 in Kyoto and also for writing a good review for us. How was your sightseeing in Kyoto? We hope you made some great memories here. We are looking forward to welcome you again on your next stay.
Family vacation - interconnecting room ”
Value for money. The interconnecting room is small, but still good for a family of 4 adults and 2 young children (6yo, child is free). The breakfast is yummy (jap & western breakfast), and the hotel staff is friendly and nice. There are safe deposit boxes at the lobby. The hotel is also located near a train station, two train stops away from the Kyoto City Centre.
Dear our precious guests Thank you for staying at karaksa hotel Kyoto Ⅰ! And,we really appreciate you sharing your review with us. We promise that all of our staff will try harder to make our hotel better! Hopefully we can welcome you again for your next visit! Again, THANK YOU !!!

Connecting quad room good for families”
This hotel was conveniently located and clean. Only a three minute walk to the Hankyu-Omiya station. The hotel's small size made it very friendly and the staff were eager to please and help. However, it felt sort of like a budget hotel. In room amenities were OK, but the hotel left much to be desired in regards to common areas and relaxing spaces. I felt that the value was not there. For maybe a tiny more per night I could've had a very nice hotel or a more conveniently located one in the center of town .

This hotel has great value for money. It is very clean and the beds are comfortable. The rooms are compact, practical but spacious than most hotels of this kond in Japan. The staff are helpful, polite and attentive. Breakfast was delicious. The bathrooms were impeccably clean and haseverything you need. It is near public transport and walking distance to nishiki market and pontocho. We had an amazing stay and will stay here again.

Small room”
Although the location was handy to the central city, it is quite a way from the main Kyoto station. The room was so small, there was no room for luggage. The bed was up against two walls and to get into it you had to climb across the bed. Maybe ok for a single. The bathroom tidy and well equipt, but too small. The staff were helpful. Breakfast good.

The hotel is near a Train station but not the JR Line... What I love most about this hotel is the 24 hours free soup, coffee, tea and drinks... The staff are so friendly and very courteous ... The location is not that central... but overall the hotel is good and a real value for money...

Very good”
The room was clean and staff were super nice and helpful. Very close to the subway station (not JR) and easy access to most places by buses or subways. The breakfast was basic with just a few options but it's fine. The only thing I'm disappointed about is Agoda charged me 2,100yen/USD20 more PER NIGHT which I could actually pay a cheaper rate to the hotel. I wish I did not choose the non-refundable rate.
