Hotel Tou was such a beautiful hotel to stay in. The staff were amazing and helpful. The food was great. Location is kinda far from some of the main attractions in Kyoto however it’s about a 10 min walk to the closest subway station and 8 minutes walk from Kyoto Station. Overall loved our stay there and highly recommend utilizing the utilities such as the onsen if possible!

Great hotel and great value. Enjoyed the Japanese breakfast. Rooms are small but worked fine for one person. They provide great toiletries if you're running low.

Basement also has laundry facility. If you have a lot to wash you will probably want to use the coin laundry down the street- the hotel has only 2 small machines.

The property was very stylish with helpful and attentive staff, renovated and new rooms with more amenities than I’ve ever seen. The one and only downside is that the rooms are small. However, the volume of amenities (toothbrushes, and toothpaste, pajamas, facial care, products, shaving care, products, face, masks, and so much more) was incredible and there was laundry in the basement as well as an onsen which I did not use, but saw other others using. The location was closer to Kyoto train station than it was most of the sightseeing areas of Kyoto, but this did not bother us at all as we were doing plenty of day trips. The area itself was quiet and clean and walking around was very pleasant. You shouldn’t hesitate to book this hotel.

With great atmosphere with a touch of old/ modern Kyoto. Nice designed hotel. Not as convenient as key big hotel. Not all the staff is fluent in English. Free coffee in the restaurant told by other guests.

Very young children were playing / swimming in the hot pool that is very distracting and unpleasant. Also making a mess and wasting lots of water in the cleaning section. Would recommend that they are restricted to certain time slots.

Fantastic stay at Hotel tou nishinotoin. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend staying here if you're planning on visiting Kyoto.
The concept and aesthetic of the hotel are stunning, room was comfortable and relaxing with plenty of available well stocked amenities in the communal area. I would recommend experiencing the Japanese breakfast which gives you the flavours of Kyoto, beautifully presented.
By far the best part of the hotel is the onsen that leaves you feeling clean and relaxed. And westerners that are in any way apprehensive shouldn't worry as the staff explain use during check in.

Our favorite thing about the hotel was its serenity and the sense of peace you felt when you walked in. We also really enjoyed the Japanese breakfast, it gave us a different, unique perspective. The free drinks and snacks during the lounge hours were refreshing. Unfortunately, access is limited, and there is a lack of common space when trying to eat non-hotel food. Finally, there is also not very much surrounding the hotel on foot, but one can still use a taxi to get to Kyoto Station or other sightseeing spots.

Great service, clean rooms, beautiful hotel. The hotel bath was great too (warning: it seems to be chlorinated), not too crowded either. The location is good enough - nearest convenience store was a short walk away, and many parking options nearby.

Quality of the amenities was really good. Only issue was a lack of space to hang towels - so much glass and wall space in the room, surely a towel bar or even just some hooks could be provided? 😅 Other than that, layout of the room was great with sockets all around, and many surfaces to place stuff even in the bathroom.

Unbelievably small rooms - and not the picture of the hotel you see on this app- no place for luggage with the only storage option to put on top of furniture. We had a huge bed but had to get in from the end as there was no space either side / just wall to wall bed in which only one person could be at the space below at a time. If you want a decent room you will have to pay large amounts for the upgrade. This hotel is all show and no substance - they have spent so much time on the form they forget function - so dark you can hardly see in the corridors and in the foyer - no lounge area to sit apart from a cold bar area they open at 3 pm. Definitely not a 4 star hotel - more a hostel vibe- so if you want some nice rest and relaxation after a hectic cultural day in Kyoto - I would stay elsewhere…

What a hidden gem in Kyoto. Loved this hotel and the bar attached to it. Only complaint my friends and I had was the cleaning only refreshed the towels and emptied the trash, didn’t seem to sweep or vacuum the floor. Also, more for awareness, these rooms are very small. As a single person this wasn’t an issue for me but my friends are a couple and were very cramped; worth it to pay extra for a room upgrade for the space alone.

There were no separate amenities provided, and overall, the stay was not satisfactory and didn't meet the expectations for the price.

Form over function - OK for 2 days max.

The room was dark, Toilet and shower room where glass boxes that you needed to draw around a shower curtain to get some privacy from the room. The room had frosted windows you could not open with shutters and black out blinds. Getting into bed was not easy as it was mounted on a low platform - I banged my head when getting in and out of bed. Breakfast was delivered on a tray - same each morning - in the breakfast room with a small orange juice, some type of soup, salad, a slice of ham with scrambled egg and a small piece of potato salad you also got bread and croissant, you could get coffee or tea refills.

Oh, did I say the room was dark, well so was the rest of the hotel.

The location was OK, 15 min walk to the station or jump on the 50 bus (210 yen), but I would have preferred to be a bit closer.

I would not choose to stay here again if I was to come back.
