Good match for:

  • Train-Dependent Explorers: Just 700m from Kyoto Station, ideal for day trips to Nara, Osaka and beyond.
  • Cultural Walkers: Steps from Nishi and Higashi Hongan-ji Temples, perfect for morning temple strolls.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Resort-Style Leisure: No spa or extensive leisure facilities; not ideal for travelers seeking full-service resort amenities.

We started our trip in Japan at the Mercure Kyoto Station, and it was the perfect way to begin our experience. The staff were incredibly friendly, the room was spotless, and the overall comfort was excellent. It’s also a very quiet hotel, so we were able to rest really well after long days exploring.

Very good hotel near Kyoto Station. We have stayed for 5 nights this time while we have stayed 4 nights last year. Various convenient stores and highly-rated restaurants nearby. Room is comparatively spacious and decently decorated. Breakfast is nice with very generous choices of food and drink. Highly recommended and will surely choose to stay here again in our next visit to Kyoto.

The hotel is very modern and furnishings have been carefully chosen along the origami theme. Rooms are cosy and of a decent size compared to hotels across the country. Breakfast spread was good. Laundromat nearby was a blessing. Hotel is a fair bit of walk from Kyoto station despite the name but there is good bus connectivity for tourist spots.

This hotel absolutely made my experience during my three days in Kyoto. The room was very spacious, a big very comfortable bed, excellent air conditioning, and the room came with every accommodation and bells and whistles you could want. The location was a perfect combination of convenient, exciting, and secluded. The staff was also very helpful and professional.

Had a comfortable and pleasant one night stay with two young kids. Lobby was beautiful but a bit cramp with luggage storage which might hinder some movement. Breakfast was good with sufficient choices in my opinion. Staffs were all polite and helpful.
