Reviews of Hotel Keihan Kyoto Ekiminami
Shirley Chong
I would like to praise A.Kusuki, a receptionist for her kind and helpful attitude who went all the way to assist me in getting my backpack which was accidentally left in a hotel in Osaka. I want to say a big thank you to her. I noticed all the receptionists in the hotel are very helpful and pleasant. I stayed in this hotel twice already. In November 2024 and in June 2025. Love the location.

Great location and great size rooms for Japan. Right across the road from Kyoto station and a 5 minute walk from a big Mall and Don Quijote. Free amenities is a bonus. Signage in the hotel states there’s a coin operated laundry room but when you get to it, it is card payment only. Not contactless or coin operated laundry room so have you card details ready.

Very nice place to stay! Thank you for everything ! Friendly staff, good breakfast that was included in our room! Check in and check out process was smooth! Room service was completed every day! Thank you! We will be back! Located close to a 7/11 and the Kyoto train station!

Room is more spacious and single beds were bigger than where we stayed in Tokyo before but still not enough to open three suitcases if ever each of us brought one. It’s a good thing we decided to use just one suitcase and left it at our base hotel in Osaka. Receptioni...
