Very nice views of the mountain and city from the back side of the hotel. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Only critique is that they could have offered some free coffee with the free tea selection! Otherwise, we absolutely enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic location within walking distance to the main area of Gion and streets of cherry blossoms without the crowd. The room is so spacious and great for families with a baby or toddler. Our baby was able to play in the tatami room. A cot and high chair was also provided to us free of charge. The kitchenette and washing machine / dryer enabled us to feed our baby and do our washing too without any stress. The hotel is approximately 10 minutes from Kyoto Station and a taxi ride should not cost more than 2,000 yen. Very accessible and would definitely stay again.

Hands down the biggest room we had ever stayed in Japan! Stunning panoramic view of the Kamogawa and only a stonethrow from the Kiyomizu Dera area and the Keihan Gojo station. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend for couples with kids!

An apartment hotel with full kitched facilities and laundry. Balcony is nice after a night out and to have coffee on in the morning. About 30 minutes from kyoto station but close to the subway and bus lines.

Love this place. Perfect location.

Loved this place on a quiet street next to the river and a short walk from Gion’s cultural sites. The 1br apartment suited our family of 4 given the enclosed sleeping space near the living room for our 2 kids. The apartment is well designed and comfortable with all you need to cook, do laundry and relax. It was a perfect pick for our visit to Kyoto. The staff are excellent and easy to communicate with.

I had a great stay. It’s like an apartment but have the amenities like a hotel, except that they don’t clean the room during the stay. But you can drop towels in the laundry basket downstairs and pick fresh ones anytime. There is reception round the clock, which is awesome. View of the river is fantastic. There is a Japanese style room which was a nice experience.

Kyoto Riverview House Kyou-raku was one of our favorite places to stay in Japan. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Alex made our experience even better due to his excellent customer service! Great location on a quiet street. Walkable to the train station, restaurants, and shopping. We really liked the layout of the apartment, plenty of room for our family of 4. The washer/dryer was very helpful. We hope to stay here again on our next trip to Japan.

Spacious, amazing view, great amenities. We were in the top floor suite with a family of four, and it felt larger than an apartment! I would not change a thing. The front desk concierge, Alex, was lovely, helpful, informative. 6 stars out of 5!
