This was BY FAR the best spot we stayed at during our three week trip. Not very costly, very convenient, very clean and the amenities provided are phenomenal. Highly recommend it to anyone considering to visit Kyoto, just two blocks away from Kyoto station makes it very easy to take day trips anywhere as well!
Situated directly south of Kyoto station, the hotel was a good base to take public transit to site see and jump to other cities. Staff at the hotel were very helpful and rooms were clean. Breakfast option was decent enough for the two nights but you may want to explore other food options if you stay longer.
This is a lovely hotel! It is short walk from Kyoto station and near many shops and restaurants. The staff is friendly and the rooms are clean and more spacious than many others we’ve stayed in.
Great hotel, would recommend staying here for many reasons: close to kyoto station/the mall, there's a konbini attached to the hotel, the room was a decent size!
R West Group VIA INN Prime Kyotoeki Hachijoguchi is a solid choice mainly because of its unbeatable location. While the rooms do feel a bit outdated, the convenience more than makes up for it. The hotel is just a short walk from Kyoto Station and very close to malls and shopping centers, making it easy to get around and find food or things to do. Having a 7-Eleven right in the building is a huge plus and incredibly convenient, especially after a long day of sightseeing. The pajamas provided are also nice and comfortable, which was a pleasant bonus. Overall, if location and convenience matter more to you than modern room design, this hotel is definitely worth considering.

Overall the experience was good but the rooms were very small and tight. The locations was convenient which is right next to kyoto train station. The breakfast was amazing.
