Sakura Terrace

Close to the JR Kyoto Station, friendly staff, free welcome drink every night, free coffee, tea and cold water. Bigger (bath) rooms than other hotels in the same price range.

As an Irish traveller it was difficult to find a good breakfast in Japan. The breakfast in sakura at 1600 yen was very good and very similar to a breakfast at home if you wanted (sausage, scrambled eggs, bacon etc), it of course had more Japanese style food aswell which was also beautiful. At 1600 yen per person I could not fault it. The room was clean and had sound sleep each night. The public bath was well organised and was refreshing after a full day sightseeing. The complimentary drink each evening was also very appreciated (alcoholic or non). The staff were exceptional for a non Japanese speaker at any time of the day, there always seemed to be at least one staff member at reception with very good English even if the initial contact was not perfect (this is not a negative as it's my ignorance not knowing any Japanese but was highly appreciated). Was very close to kyoto station which would take you anywhere you wanted and was right beside Kujo station (literally seconds from front door) so as a comfortable Base it was perfect.

Great for a longer stay and spacious for 2 people. The staff were friendly, the facilities were super clean, and they give you an outfit to wear to the onsen! Or can be used as pajamas. A tote bag and flip flops are also available for the facility. The female onsen is locked behind a key pad door for privacy and the bath was nice and hot. There’s even an area of the bath for those that struggle with getting up or sitting down (bars are in the water). The lounge area is nice and large for multiple guests to hang out. And you get one free drink a night per person from the bar (alcohol or non-alcoholic). There’s also coffee and tea areas for you to enjoy at your leisure. The bathroom was nice and spacious compared to other places we stayed. And there was room to leave out our luggage. The hotel is right next to the metro line (literally right outside the front door). Only downside was the WiFi. The connection was really terrible throughout the day and night, where the phones had a hard time staying connected. Just as a heads up for anyone that may need to conduct business or wish to unwind at the end of a long day out and this would be important.

A great amount of room for a Japanese hotel. It was clean and the staff was polite. It is next to the subway station which made traveling so nice. Each room has its own air conditioning and they have translations of the most important buttons on the remote.

Rooms are of decent size.some with balconies. Beds are large and comfortable.Ground floor sitting area is big and very convenient for groups sitting. Free massage chairs, a free complementary drink for guests and free tea/coffee facilities during day time was an surprising pleasant touch. The hotel also offers free laundry facilities and public bath opened erly ithe morning and in the evenings. Proximity to a subway station and only 600 meters to Kyoto station makes it easy to get to any side of Kyoto. Highly recommended hotel
