We stayed three nights at The General Kyoto Bukkoji.
This is quite literally one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in!
The staff was warm and welcoming and went the extra mile to offer assistance/recommendations. The package we chose included breakfast, which was so delicious and abundant! With free snacks and drinks (including espresso), we were never hungry! The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, with cozy cotton pajamas that were changed out each day. The location was also perfect, with walking distance to Nijo Castle and Nishiki market. Tons of great dining options are also close by.
We hope to stay here again sometime, if we ever make it back to Kyoto! This is our number one pick!

We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel in Kyoto. From the moment we arrived, everything felt effortless and welcoming. The room was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully designed. The location was perfect - so convenient for exploring the city yet peaceful when we wanted to relax.

The staff truly made the experience exceptional. A special thank you to Mariko at reception, who helped us with our luggage transfer and went out of her way to be kind, attentive, and helpful - her warmth made us feel instantly at home. We also want to thank the wonderful gentleman at breakfast each morning. The breakfast itself was a highlight of our stay. The delicious dishes, fresh pastries, and beautifully presented plates were unforgettable, but it was his friendliness and care that made it even more memorable. We still miss those breakfasts!

This was an amazing stay all around: the hotel, the people, the food, and the atmosphere. Thank you so much for making our time in Kyoto so special. We can’t wait to come back.

Our stay at the General Kyoto Bukkoji Shinmachi

Very pleasant stay. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The complimentary longe was a nice touch. The only minor issue was with the humidity level in the room and the hardness of the bed.

Staff were excellent, very helpful. It also helped that they speak English. Room was very clean. Enjoyed the lounge where snack and drinks were provided.
Plenty of things to do in Kyoto. We spent a day around the Arashiyama area, a day in Gion, etc. If you have a spare day, I would recommend going to Nara for a day.

きれいで落ち着く宿でした

オープンに重なったようで、限定特典の粗品をいただきました。
お部屋、宿全体の清潔感もあり、必要最低限の宿ですが、好感が持てます。
ビジネスマンにはデスクがなかったので、部屋の中で仕事はしにくいかもしれません。
朝食会場も兼ねたラウンジではソフトドリンクからアルコール、おにぎりやいなりなどスナックも無料で提供されていたので、ここを利用するのもよいかもしれません。
総じてお勧めの宿です。
