Highly recommended! Perfect and great in every sense, especially the staff!. We can't thank enough the staff during our stay. My wife got sick and needed to go to hospital. The staff were with us through it all. We could communicate in English fluently with all the staff present and one of the staff even came all the way with us to the hospital to serve as a translator since it was a Sunday and we couldn't find a hospital with a translator. To all the staff at Kabin Kyoto we thank you from the bottom of our hearts! God bless you!

Great location, very close to many tourist resorts such as Kiyomizu-dera, Kodak-ji, Ninen-zaka & Sannen-zaka. Also very convenient to take bus to everywhere else. The staff members are very nice and warm-hearted, they helped me with reservations of several hot restaurants. Ms Becky is one of the best.

We don’t often stay in ‘nice hotels’ so this was such a treat. The service is truly 5 stars. The hotel itself feels very luxurious through every touch. It was nice to have the swimming pool as being Summer and Aussies, we had missed being able to have a splash. Tattoos needed to be covered up, but it was open all day without reservations which was great compared to other hotels. Our view overlooked a Temple, the Kyoto Tower and some mountains. Room was spacious. Location good, close enough walk to Kyoto station. We didn’t dine onsite.

The best hotel I stayed in while in Japan. The room was large and the bed was comfortable. The detailed design and finishes of the room were outstanding. The bathroom colour for instance was an unexpected yet VERY classy. The staff was friendly and super helpful in helping me get around. I loved the reception area. Also well appointed with a beautiful stream view. The apéritivo till 10 PM was an excellent touch (sake collection, snacks, tea and coffee).
