It was a great hotel but very close to kiyomizudera temple which causes the area to be really busy and hard to get around. Just something to keep in mind.

A nice little hotel near to Gion. It's within walking distance of many things, such as temples, shopping, and restaurants. Like much of the rest of old Kyoto, the streets can be cramped and confusing, but the hotel has a helpful map with local destinations. The staff speak enough English to help with local tourism.

Rooms are clean and I appreciate how cold the AC goes, (16° C!!). The shower was a little cramped with poor water pressure, but not to a problematic extent.

Free drinks in the lobby are appreciated too. A souvenir water bottle in lieu of traditional water bottles in the room was also very nice. A good hotel for small groups or couples.

This was the most inexpensive hotel of our trip and yet we loved it. Close to Kiyomizu temple and Gion district. They were very helpful and friendly. Gave us a free water bottle each, and a beautiful cookie at check out. Had all the amenities you needed, brush, razor, toothbrush, creams and face wash as well as extra pillows if you need. They have laundry on site as well as a rooftop terrace. Would definitely stay here again!!

The best part of this hotel is the staff. Very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed sitting in the front seating area that had tables, refreshments, and manga to read. It was a nice place to sit and have dinner when the rain kept us from walking around one evening. The hotel had plenty of common areas for you to enjoy in case you wanted to get away from your room. Location was great, a short walk up the hill to Kiyomizu-Dera, a kimono shop around the corner, and a dumpling restaurant right next door.

The location was the only thing that helps this hotel , walkable distance to the water temple and the streets of Gion, the incline is a bit steep but doable just take your time. The hotel was not very clean, had to do my usual wipe test and got a lot of dirt and stains with my wipes. You have to ask for extra pillows because they give you a baby crib pillow by default. The bathrooms are very small and feel like porta potties because of how detached they feel from the rest of the room. The beds were stiff and were the size of children’s beds which make sense with the pillows provided. Out of the multiple hotels on this trip this one was the weakest of the bunch.

My friend and I had booked a twin room and were a disappointed as the pictures had made us believe the rooms were a lot bigger and more modern than they actually are. The room felt quite small and dated, my friend referred to it as \"it's like being in a camper van\", which was a testament to how small it was, with the plastic bathroom being one step higher than the rest, and the beds being as hard as the floor. The terrace, laundry and staff however did not disappoint. We enjoyed hanging on the rooftop in the evenings, and took time to do a couple of loads of laundry and used some drying racks that were readily available. The staff was always helpful and helped us with restaurant reservations. The hotel is located on a VERY busy street which leads to a popular temple (which can be seen from the rooftop). This was a problem when trying to carry our luggage to and from the hotel as the sidewalk is very narrow and incredibly crowded (especially during peak cherry blossom season as was the case), with the road being filled with tourist bus and constant traffic. We couldn't even get a taxi to come pick us up on our last day, as it would have taken too long to reach the hotel through this traffic, so we walked the busy sidewalk to the closest boulevard (which, to be fair, is only a 5 minute walk).

Charming small hotel super conveniently located near Kiyomizu Temple. The room was small but adequate, and we didn’t come to Kyoto to spend time in the room. The lobby foyer and upper deck were spacious and inviting in a cozy way. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, offering advice on where to eat and explore.

This a beautiful hotel located in walking distance to Gion and most of the tourist spots! Also close by to bus stops if you prefer :) The service was excellent, all staff members we interacted with were super lovely! The room we selected was a great size for two of us with four suitcases 😆 check in was easy & smooth and the amenities were great too.

I can't recommend this hotel enough. The staff and service were 5 stars, with one staff member walking me to the corner to get a taxi in the freezing cold at 5am. The rooms were large by Japanese standards and had everything you need. The ice machine and filtered water in the lobby is really handy with filling drink bottles on the way in and out of the hotel. Walking distance to supermarkets and restaurants.

At first glance, it looks like a modest little hotel, and it is. The staff is what makes it all worth staying here. Upon check-in I had an interesting request, to say the least, and the gentleman behind the desk literally walked me from the hotel to where i needed to go. Cute little kitchen area in the lobby for coffee, tea and water. Biggest fridge you’ll get inside a Japanese Hotel, and the room itself is frankly bigger than APA Hotels i usually stay in.

On-site laundry and a rooftop deck provide a sweeping view of Kyoto as well as the temples nearby.

I can’t express how nice the staff are and any time I am visiting Kyoto, this is my new go-to property.

Complimentary Amenity shelf and water
bottle during your stay, and a super clean property. About 10-minute walk to Kiyomizu Temple and maybe a 10-15 minute walk if that
to the Gion District of Kyoto.

With a bus stop on multiple lines with frequent service just three minutes walk away and a marvelous view from the rooftop terrace, this hotel would already be a great choice. The comfortable and friendly atmosphere made it extra special and I look forward to staying here again next time.

2 nights stay in Terrace Kiyomizu Kyoto

The hotel experience was unsatisfactory, with dirty bed covers causing my partner to develop a neck rash. The bathtub was poorly cleaned, as depicted in the image. Additionally, a 1000 yen deposit for the parking card was taken without informing us to return it for a refund. During checkout, the staff failed to remind us to return the parking ticket for the 1000 yen refund. While the service was acceptable, the overall cleanliness of the hotel was subpar.

The staff was super nice and helpful. The hotel is a cute boutique hotel in a very walkable area. The rooms are spacious. It was clean. The rooftop terrace has a nice view of the area. The only downside is the beds are hard but I think this may be common in Japan and they do offer assistance with this. Overall we enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay there again if we visit Kyoto.

The Terrace Kiyomizu is a clean and well kept hotel. It's right on the door step to the famous Kiyomizudera Temple which comes with it's pros and cons.

The hotel is located within walking distance to quite a few sights that Kyoto has to offer but as it's so close to Kiyomizudera Temple, you can expect a lot of foot traffic and tour buses/ cars driving past as they head to that temple.

In terms of getting around to other places in Kyoto, the Terrace is located near a commonly used bus stop so you won't have an issue getting to Kyoto station which you can then get to other sights.

Overall, my partner and I were happy with the size of the room we got and found the stay at the Terrace pretty comfortable

Clean, super pleasant, and affordable. Excellent!

I had positive expectations for the Terrace Kiyomizu and I wasn't disappointed. This small hotel is a pleasant alternative to dour business hotels, on the one hand, and expensive luxury hotels on the other, offering clean comfort and pleasant service at a moderate price. The location is just about perfect, within easy walking distance (I did not go) to Kiyomizudera and other sites such as Sanjusandgendo and the Kyoto National Museum (a 10 minute walk, and I did go). There is a bus stand, for many city and private lines, on the corner. The only thing I did not like is the limited space for walking immediately outside the hotel doors. When traffic is light this is not an issue, but in the mornings, traffic is heavy on this narrow street, which connects with a major city street, Higashiyama Dori, half a block away. So, although there is a narrow sidewalk on the opposite side of the road, it is necessary to weave between cars when crossing. Even this probably isn't a big deal, but disabled visitors or those hauling large luggage do not always have easy access to the building (which unfortunately is true in much of Japan). Once inside the cool comfort of the hotel, however, there is a lift and everything is pleasantly laid out. With that noted, I strongly recommend the Terrace Kiyomizu. I had a wonderful two-night stay, and will return if I have a chance for another short Kyoto trip. Thank you, staff, for the enjoyable visit!

Welcoming hotel experience

First time trip to Japan and this hotel was a great place to stay. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and the rooms are a decent size (compared with the 3 other hotels we stayed in during our trip). The beds are a bit on the hard side, but other than that the hotel was a good find, with good local shops and bus links, and free hot and cold drinks provided from the machine in the lobby. The terrace provides a nice view and somewhere to sit and relax.

Bel hôtel !

Bel hôtel, bon rapport qualité prix, bien situé près de lignes de bus desservant le centre de Kyoto et d’un des temples principaux. Hôtel joliment décoré, personnel sympathique et arrangeant. Petit problème d’odeur du probablement aux canalisations ou à l’humidité, et est bruyant côté rue (très passant avec les cars touristiques), mais le personnel prend compte des difficultés. Je recommande !
