Perfection! Staff were friendly, welcoming, very professional. Room was incredible- the soaking tub was amazing. Will definitely return for future stays.
I had a wonderful time at Kanra. The hotel was very comfortable and tasteful. If I come to Kyoto again. I have no doubt to stay there. We spent four nights and really enjoyed our stay. Location is good too, 1 min walk from Gojo station. What I loved the most was the breakfast buffet. It was amazing.
This was such a wonderful stay for our first time in Kyoto. It really felt like a luxury experience, beautiful and very comfortable. Location can’t be beat either. Will stay again and have already recommended this hotel to family and friends.
The room is fantastic. I loved the design, and the bathroom is wonderful. Breakfast was delicious and very diverse, with both Japanese and international options. We had dinner at the hotel one night, and it was excellent. The staff is very warm, friendly, and helpful. A great experience that truly elevated our stay in Kyoto. Highly recommended!
All the staff at Hotel Kandra Kyoto were so helpful.
Breakfast was excellent with many healthy options. Breakfast staff were wonderful and personable.
The rooms were clean and spacious.
Thank you for making our Kyoto stay amazing and comfortable.
Staff was amazing very kind and thoughtful as well as very helpful they all know English so if you don’t fully understand Japanese they can help and the room was amazing! But the best part was the spa i went to get a back massage and it helped with my back recovery!
We really enjoyed stay at this hotel. The reception ladies are very friendly and we had some welcome tea and snack which are super delicious. Room is clean, warm and functional. They have everything you need and the bath room is awesome. Location good, close to the train station, subway/bus stations and convenience store.
This is my favorite hotel in the world! It's such a beautiful, peaceful oasis in the middle of Kyoto, and an easy walk to Kyoto Station and Nishiki Market. It's right down the block from a subway station as well. The rooms are like little Japanese apartments and have such beautiful decorative touches. The spa is great, as is the high end teppanyaki restaurant.
