Amazing luxury hotel in the best possible location south of Pontocho and across the bridge from Gion. A huge room with a terrace and a sparkling large bathroom with a shower, wooden tub, and river views. Fridge stocked with beer and soft drinks and a washer-dryer for longer stays. None of this comes cheap but go and enjoy.

apartment-like stay by Kamo River in Kyoto

Our room at Aoi Hotel was very spacious, with a balcony the size of some budget hotel rooms and overlooking the Kamo River. The room gets daily cleaning and restocking, but the reception/concierge is not really present (they can be summoned with a phone call from the front desk).

Overall, a unique, high-quality hotel in an excellent location.

This hotel is in a great location in Kyoto. It was within walking distance of city center but tucked away on a quiet romantic street near the canal near restaurants and bars. The hotel is very Japanese - travelers will need to remove their shoes in the room. The bathroom shower was a little bit moldy, however. It was clean, but the wooden tub had some dark spots that really defy scrubbing. Otherwise, the room was spotlessly clean and perfect for a family. The washer dryer was great and easy to use and we liked have a refrigerator in the room.

5 stars close to Gion!

The room was perfect and has a nice view of the river. I loved the large, clean bathroom and the fact that I could do laundry there before we left for hakone. The service is impeccable and the hotel even provides a phone for you to use during your stay. They also helped us adjust the breakfast to accommodate my mom’s allergies.

Be aware Crazy building owner

CRAZY building owner. If you are assigned to any room in the building next to the receiption. Please be aware of a crazy Japanese guy. We arrived at Aoi Kyoto at around 11am in the morning, it's was pouring rain, we settled everything and ready to explore the city around noon. we stood in front of the hotel building stone walkway to check the map 1more time. 5seconds later, I felt someone pushed me on the right, my natural instinct was moved to the left couple steps and said \"Sorry\". Then I turned right and saw a 40+ yr old grumpy Japanese male came out from the restaurant on the 1st floor of the building waving his arm to gesture me to move, then he followed with his broken English \"MOVE! GO! Don't stand here\" I replied \"sorry, I am guest of the hotel\" He turned his way to the hotel building, and said \"Are you the owner of this building? I am the owner of the building!\" I was so puzzled, I wanted to walk back inside to read the map since the rain is getting heavier. After couple steps, the Japanese guy turned to me again, and shout “I am the building owner, when I walk, you don't walk! Go!\" I was like \"Is this real?\" He shouted again the same thing and I got so angry so I ran to the receiption next building. I told the lady at the front desk what happended, she just said \"We did received some complains, maybe he is a weird guy”. Very unpleasant. He lives on the 2nd floor of the hotel and he is a chef from restaurant on the 1st floor, he ruined reputation of Japanese really.

Excellent stay in Kyoto. Room was large and well equipped. Location was perfect near many attractions. Walking distance to Gion, Yasaka shrine, Kiyomizudera (via Ninenzaka/Sannenzaka), shopping malls on Shijo-dori. Area was picturesque with a small canal and many sakura trees which looks beautiful during sakura season/spring. Service and support from the staff was wonderful.

Super stylish boutique hotel in quaint street

Gorgeous little hotel in an amazing location. In a quiet and quaint street only a few minutes walk from Gion and from 3 different train stations, very pretty and lots of little restaurants nearby. The hotel is very sophisticated, both in design and the technology in the rooms. The room was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and super stylist to boot. I have a bad back and emailed the hotel before asking for a Western bed. They wrote back immediately ensuring me that this would be the case and that they would add 2 soft toppers to the mattress and told me not to worry, everything would be taken care of, and it was.

Hotel is managed with heart, which can be seen from home-feel decoration, cleanliness, welcome gift arrangement, and best of all, the professional staff team. This time, i cannot get a room with Kamo Gawa river view will surely be my next reason to travel Kyoto and staying in Aoi Hotel again.

Perfect example of what a botique hotel should be!

This hotel is not to be missed if you are coming to Kyoto and want to be in the heart of the Pontocho area overlooking the river. The room we were in was clean, spacious (slept 3 with plenty of space) and the large bathroom was like a mini spa featuring a wonderful wooden soaking tub. The staff are superb and friendly. Every question we had about getting to and from a location or getting a taxi or even getting food for an early train was answered and if not immediately, it was researched and provided. The restaurant recommendations (and reservations!) they made for us were superb as well. Again, highly recommend this choice. Now we just want to come back in the summer!

Good stay

The hotel room is more like a little apartment -- it is extremely comfortable and spacious. It has everything you need. Very well thought out. Great location on a beautiful quiet street. Easy walk to Gion district, Nishiki market and Pontocho. Lots of food places with 5 minute walk.

Excellent hotel in Kyoto

We loved this hotel and wished we had booked it for our entire stay in Kyoto vs the 3 nights we had. The hotel isn't large: 4 floors with 3-4 rooms per floor. We liked that we weren't in a massive building with other people. The room is spacious and set up like an apartment: microwave, fridge, hotplate, washer/dryer, etc. The room even had its own wifi. Location was also good for exploring the Gion area and the Nishiki market. Staff was polite and helpful, providing us with info on things to do and places to eat. Will definitely stay again.

Amazing Boutique Hotel in a Great Location

We rented a large suite on the first floor with Balcony for 4 people. It was a great stay. Very special place, carefully appointed, minute attention to detail, high quality everything, unique design and setup (wooden bathtub!), great service, great location just steps away from Gion and many good restaurants, fantastic view on the river. Felt like living (it large) in Kyoto.

Fantastic location very close to Gion

We stayed for 5 nights with two children aged 4 and 6. The room has a small kitchenette and washer/dyer which was great with the kids. Close to many restaurants and a supermarket. Can't say anything but great things about this hotel.

정말 깔끔하고 아늑하고 조용한 곳이었습니다.
교통도 편리하고요.
단 호텔 표시가 거의 안되어 찾느라고 한참 걸렸습니다.
