Very nice hotel with large rooms and a fantastic location in Kyoto. Very pleasant staff who were helpful and a great Italian coffee shop next door specializing in breakfast and apres drinks. Our only (major) issue was that the room we booked wasn’t what we were provided. Luckily the room we had booked wasn’t available but we had to pay extra for our booking that had been previously confirmed. We complained to Expedia and are awaiting a response. The price for the rooms is very reasonable and aside from this hiccup we were very happy with this hotel and would go back.

The Koko Hotel residence is located in a relatively convenient place and offer generous sized rooms. We opted for a room with bunks for our family of three and it worked perfectly. The staff were great with plenty of things available to borrow for free, such as irons and hairs dryers, alongside a table full of free items that you may have forgotten. Located a 10-15 minute walk from the riverside area for restaurants and shops, I’d recommend it.

Tout consideré, c‘était excellent. Chambre propre et spacieux. Staff aimable et prêt à venir en aide, bien situé.

Bémols: il n‘y a que 3 lave-linges, partagées, et il y avait parfois de l‘achalandage. Aussi, il n‘y avait pas de chaises dans la chambre, et on n’était donc incapable de tous nous asseoir ensemble (nous étions 5). Il n‘y avait qu’un divan qui était bon pour 2.

Stayed in a family room with 4 beds. Very comfortable with a large table and small kitchenette. One of the issues with a family room is the bathroom situation. This worked great because there were 3 sinks and a totally separate toilet from the shower so you could have 4 people doing bathroom stuff at the same time. Location was good

The room was excellent. Spacious and fully air conditioned which was a nice respite from the Kyoto heat. The location was easy to get to and easy to access other things we wanted to see since it was on a readily available train route. The furniture showed a little wear and tear but overall the room was very clean. I would absolutely stay here again.

Room good for family. Has a mini kitchen that you could prepare your food inside the room. Regular beds were ok but the extra bed (futon) we had in our room was kind of stiff. Located in a quiet area, 10 minutes walk to Nijo Castle, 8 mins walk to karasuma station, around 3 stops away from Kyoto Station.

It was an excellent boutique hotel. It was perfect for our purposes. Very spacious room with whatever you need for an extended stay. The external environment around it was unimpressive but the location just a block off of the main thoroughfare more than made up for it.

- [ ] Location was great but hard to find for the Uber driver since the location on Expedia shows inside the castle!
- [ ] Room was a decent size and had bunk beds that can fit adults for our kids
- [ ] Front desk had no sitting space; another hint that this is also a private Equity investment property. However, the people were courteous.
- [ ] Lots of 7-11s and Family Marts around making it a convenient place. Not to far from the market areas or temples in Kyoto. Generally a quiet area.
- [ ] We had to pay Y200 for losing a spare card key! That was unexpected since we don’t experience that in the US. No other hotel had such a draconian penalty in their fine print.

The room is bare bones. It’s for travelers who need a place to lay their head. It’s no frills. The slippers were barely more than a sheet of paper, super thin and flimsy.

The kitchen was not up to a good standard. The microwave and fridge looked like a third rate apartment. When I asked for a coffee
Maker they gave me a packet of instant coffee to be stirred in hot water

We had a wonderful experience at Koko Hotel! Modern and extremely clean, fantastic location (5 min walk from both Karasuma and Tozai subway lines which made exploring the city manageable), located on a side street (quiet), kind, helpful and gracious staff (who gave us great recommendations re: navigating the bus system). We loved it! Highly recommend.

Excellent room with plenty of space despite 3 sharing. Reception were lovely and very helpful and the location of the hotel was perfect for Nijo Castle and the Imperial palace. There was a subway station within 5 mins walk, making it east to explore other areas of Kyoto. There were plenty of great restaurants nearby

Loved the location, the room and the staff. Room was vey spacious and beds were comfortable. The area around it was very good. Easy to access all Kyoto sites with lots of transit options and there was also a lot of high quality eating options nearby. I personally loved the bakery around the corner - Le Petit Mec for breakfast. Best French pastries I have ever had and good coffee. Highly recommend this hotel.

Fantastic view of the mountain and the city from our bedroom. We were on the 9th floor and we relished the space and the comfortable setting of this room. Very good beds as well. Amenities bar by the reception offering team coffee and all the fixings for the bathroom.
Only thing I would like is a toaster oven to cook some toasts and pizza once in a while!
Area is very quiet and safe and this was one of our favorite stay in Japan for the two weeks we were there.

Enjoyed our stay in Kyoto. Nice accommodations, good value. After checking out and getting as far as the Kyoto train station, I realized I had left my watch behind. So I called the hotel to let them know. Thankfully, I was able to go back and retrieve it from the front desk. Thank you!

This is a hidden gem of a hotel. It’s an amazing value with a large comfortable sized room (even by American standards), a gorgeous view of the mountains, kitchenette, spa bathroom, and housekeeping every 3 days, which usually you don’t get at apartment hotels. The free amenities are actually better than at some mid-tier hotels.

Most of all, the staff are absolutely wonderful with their service and the lengths they go to for the guests. They were so personable and flexible with anything I requested.

The only reason I can think of that this hotel isn’t more well-known is because it faces a small inside street, which makes road noise non-existent! But the location is still very convenient and close to a major subway stop.

I hope the next time I want to stay here, there’s still availability!

The hotel was very helpful in assisting us receiving our suitcases through Airporter service. Furthermore, they assisted us in paying cash for a parcel delivery that we organised from Tokyo. We booked two three night bookings separately and they made it very easy to link the two bookings so we did not need to change rooms.
The room was spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed staying there for 6 nights. The smart TV allowed us to easily stream YouTube on TV.
The only thing that I wish they did was service the room every two days rather than every three days.
The distance to the subway station was not as close as we would have liked but it is an easy walk on a wide flat pathway majority of the way so easy for wheeling suitcases.
The hotel is in a lovely quiet neighbourhood. Whilst not surrounded by shops, restaurants and cafe, there are still many variety of eatery options in the surrounding area within short walking distance. We felt the hotel felt like a home in Kyoto. It was perfect for a family of four with the amount of space it offered.

Amenities: they have laundry onsite, the face wash, lotion, toothbrush everything you need is in front where the lobby is at.

Location is good.

The best part was that it has its own laundry room. We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They went over and beyond to help us. We needed help with suitcase shopping. One of the staff member exactly told is where to go and we found some amazing deals in that store.
The lobby had all the essential goodies like coffe/mouthwash/toiletries etc

Super spacious and exactly as pictured! There was a bunk bed along with a dining table with all the necessities to a kitchen. There were many convenience market options including 7/11 and family mart about 5min walk. Safe neighborhood and friendly staff. The hotel is about 10mins from the train station but it's in a pretty quiet and safe location. Would recommend 100% for people travelling with family and kids!
