Amazing luxury hotel in the best possible location south of Pontocho and across the bridge from Gion. A huge room with a terrace and a sparkling large bathroom with a shower, wooden tub, and river views. Fridge stocked with beer and soft drinks and a washer-dryer for longer stays. None of this comes cheap but go and enjoy.

apartment-like stay by Kamo River in Kyoto

Our room at Aoi Hotel was very spacious, with a balcony the size of some budget hotel rooms and overlooking the Kamo River. The room gets daily cleaning and restocking, but the reception/concierge is not really present (they can be summoned with a phone call from the front desk). Overall, a unique, high-quality hotel in an excellent location.

This is the place to be. Charming and very helpful staff. Exceptionally large, and comfortable room with river view. Stunning bathroom, shower and tub also with river view. Ideal location within walking distance to starred Gion restaurants and practically next door to the best bar in Kyoto, Turquoise. There is even a washer-dryer. Why stay anywhere else?

This hotel is in a great location in Kyoto. It was within walking distance of city center but tucked away on a quiet romantic street near the canal near restaurants and bars. The hotel is very Japanese - travelers will need to remove their shoes in the room. The bathroom shower was a little bit moldy, however. It was clean, but the wooden tub had some dark spots that really defy scrubbing. Otherwise, the room was spotlessly clean and perfect for a family. The washer dryer was great and easy to use and we liked have a refrigerator in the room.

位置便利，步行數分鐘別已到了大型購物商場，如0101, 高島屋等。而酒店附近亦有很多專統的日本食肆。房間空間感十足，浴室十分明亮，舒適。有洗衣乾衣機，十分方便不想帶太多衣服出門的旅客。唯沒有早餐和免費泊車位。另外，我被安排入住地下房間，有些感覺不安全。當然，日本治安好，其實不用太擔心，但若編配八高層會更好。
