Kyoto Hotel Guide - Higashi Honganji Temple hotels in Kyoto, Japan.

"Incredible place with the loveliest helpful staff, room in immaculate condition and very looked after "

"The room was spacious (we got upgraded, which was a plus!) wonderful shower, and the blackout curtains were great. The beds were a little more firm than I’m used to, but overall, it was a wonderful stay!"

"Great stay"

"The room was beautiful, well appointed and very clean. The restaurant staff were wonderful and very attentive. My only comment would be that the front desk staff felt a little indifferent at times. All in all we really enjoyed our stay."

"I've stayed at many Smile hotels in the past. This one has much smaller rooms! Other than great, it has a GREAT staff, very friendly and helpful! It's near the Kyoto Station. It's very easy to find, as it is in the direction where the Kyoto Tower is. When you get out of Kyoto Station's main/central entrance FACING the Kyoto Tower, with the station behind you, walk straight up for 4-5 minutes on the left side of the street/boulevard. You should be passing the huge temple on your left hand, and you should be on the same side of the street as the temple is. The hotel is literally right after the metro exit, like 5 steps after the metro exit of the Gojo stop. You can take the metro back and forth between the hotel and Kyoto Station. It's just ONE stop! Get off the Gojo stop and remember to take the correct exit to end up next to the hotel! Say "Hi!" to the staff member and mention "Anime Power!" to the staff members. They will know what it means :-) Thanks, Smile Hotel!"

"This hotel was not only convenient but it was a truly world class stay from professionalism, charm and formal yet quite comfortable. The breakfast was top notch and the staff were such lovely people! Book here because the price is incredible for the service!"

"Everything was perfect. The staff there were very nice and helpful"

"The best value for Kyoto station hotels. Property closing Jan 2027. Great hotel for Kyoto access by train, bus or subway."

"It is a very good location to explore Kyoto"
