Stop Looking
This hotel is In a perfect Location, 5 min walk from train station & 10 min walk to some of the best shopping and restaurants in Japan. The room itself is very spacious the biggest one we stayed in in Japan, it’s spotlessly clean and has everything you need. Best of all are the hosts they treat us like Family. Stop looking it’s a great place at a great price

Very nice hotel. Close to the station. Has a cafe that is vegan/vegetarian. Dogs welcome. Minimal modern feel and look. Loved our stay. Everything was in perfect condition.

Exceptional Hotel
The Minato hotel was a highlight of our trip. It is conveniently located, has all the amenities, and the breakfast is the perfect way to start the day. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was nice and warm with good water pressure. The staff were an unbelievable resource in navigating Kyoto, were always so kind and helpful. Their recommendations time, and time again, led us to restaurants and activities that became favourites of the trip. Would love to stay here again.

Would stay again!
This hotel was a great find, with only 7 rooms in total you really get a personal service. The staff are lovely and will go out of their way to help you. Free breakfast is an added bonus. The rooms are nicely decorated and a fair size with a nice modern bathroom. The hotels location is central Kyoto, 20 min walk to Kyoto station and around a 20 min walk to imperial palace.

A perfect choice
The hotel is ideally situated to explore Kyoto. It’s also in a residential area and you really get a feel for daily life. The hosts can’t do enough for you. I shall certainly return when I’m Kyoto. Thank you.

Great design + superb service
We had a great stay. The manager could not have been more helpful, the rooms are beautifully designed and very comfortable and the complimentary breakfast was great. Within easy walking distance of Nishiki Market and a bunch of great restaurants. I can't recommend this place enough.

Small but good hotel with friendly staff
Minato is tucked away on a Kyoto side street but close to busier streets with amenities, although restaurants and bars close to hotel. The room was small but comfortable, like many Japanese hotels. The bathroom was very good. Koichi, the hotel manager, was very kind and helpful. Overall, a very good value.

Minimal-themed
Walkable distance to the surrounding train stations and bus stops. The room is very clean and furnished with a minimal theme. The walls are pretty thin so if you have noisy neighbours, good luck (: The staffs are friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience - Will definitely stay again
We had a fantastic stay at Minato Hotel and would highly recommend it for anyone looking to visit Kyoto. The staff were extremely helpful and kind, and went to great lengths to assist us in organizing our day-to-day activities. The location is central and convenient (close to food, shops, bike rental etc). The rooms are modern and very clean. Breakfast offered includes Western-friendly dishes, as well as traditional Japanese sets. We will stay again.

It was a pleasant stay and the room was spacious and the bedding was nice. The room was bigger than most hotels in Japan! Breakfast was really filling and nice. Also, the staff went out of their way to personally walk out on the streets under the rain to get us a taxi! Which is super nice of them!

Good location; big room; great decor; great staff.
Title says all. Good value. This place is so cool it could be in Austin. Excellent Japanese breakfast. Don't miss this hotel. Close to subway and to train to Inari shrine/temple. Excellent restaurants and bars surround it. Short walk to Nishki market--do not miss that, either.

2/10 Poor

My room was in a very bad condition, it did not match the photos at all. In addition, the air condition system was working poorly which makes you freeze as the room lacks proper isolation. Front office availabe late afternoon only and not able to communicate in English. In my opinion, a rip-off considering the price. Would definitely neither stay there again nor recommend the place

4/10 Fair

Mixed feelings about the hotel. We booked because of the positive feedback about the complimentary breakfast and service. There was no breakfast for expedia customers and the service was medium. I am pregnant and my mom is a bit older. IT would have been nice if the person behind the desk would help with the luggage or even just open the elevator. But he just gave the key and thats iT while the elevatordoors we’re closing very quickly. The room is big and you do get free water, thats very nice and the location is great!!! So these are great pro’s. You can walk around Kyoto and return to the hotel by foot and feel safe :) Unfortunally there was a dirty cutton bud on the Floor in our room and the roller blind in the shower was broken so people could look into the Bathroom. They tried to fix iT with Some tape with no succes. The internet in the bedroom didn’t work either so that was dissapointing. The builing looks cute though but if we had to spend the same money again, we would choose a different hotel.

후기
여행일정에 촉박하게 예약했지만 그럭저럭 저렴하게? 구한것같아요. 다만, 일본이지만 외국인이 알바인지 사장님인진 모르겠지만. 응대해주셨고, 간단하게 할말만 하고 끝! 보통 그랬어요. 사무실을 숙소로 개조했다고 되어있던데, 일반적인 숙소라기 보다는. 그냥 뭔가ㅋㅋ고시원??까진 아니고..뭔가 우리나라였으면.. 내부 벽체제거하고 건물 튼 것처럼 불법 건축물인 기분도 들었고.. 그치만 나쁘진않았어요 잠만 자니깐. 그리고 개인적으로는 바닥이 돌바닥이라 웬지 찝찝한 기분이었고, 사람 취향이니까요 그래도 1층은 카페랑 같이해서. 뭐 나쁘진 않음! 적정가격인듯?

깔끔하고 쾌적하고 편안
호텔 위치가 니시키시장과 가까워서 매우 좋았고 조용한 동네에 위치해서 숙면을 취하기 아주 좋았습니다. 아쉬운 점이라면 2박, 연박이였는데 수건과 물은 1박 것만 준비되어있어 따로 요구해서 받았고 블라인드가 손상되서 화장실을 사용할때 밖에서 보일까봐 샤워타월로 다 가려놓고 지냈어요. 그렇지만 대체 방안이 있었고 깨끗하고 안락하고 1층 카페도 이쁘고 좋았습니다. 에어컨, 드라이기, 티비 모두 작동 잘 되었습니다.
