The quality of the room really impressed me. It was clean, quiet, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay (kettle, fridge, bath, hair dryer etc), plus a shared kitchen on the main floor where you could prepare simple meals. I've seen other reviews complaining about the size of the rooms and bedding; I feel like these come from people who haven't done enough research. These are traditional-style tatami rooms with futons, and knowing what that entails, the room met and even exceeded my expectations for cleanliness and comfort. They're likely ideal for a couple or solo traveler and I was extremely pleased with my stay. I also would tell people not to think of this as a typical 'hotel'; it's largely self-service, but if you need anything (clean sheets, extra bedding etc) the staff are very responsive and when I did encounter them, they were very kind and pleasant. Be aware that there is no elevator, which I can see being inconvenient if you have large luggage. The location was fantastic, close to the delta and away from the tourist trappings of the city center, while still being acessible with the exceptionally close demachi yanagi train station. I would definitely stay here again!

view for Kyoto Kaede Hotel Kamogawa I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Kyoto Kaede Hotel Kamogawa, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. From start to finish, the hotel staff demonstrated reactive, professional, and friendly communication that truly stood out. 1. Communication: Top-Notch Service The staff’s responsiveness was impressive. Whether it was answering my inquiries before arrival or assisting with any requests during my stay, they were always prompt and courteous. Their attention to detail made me feel valued as a guest. 2. Ideal Location The hotel’s location is a gem. Situated near the serene Kamogawa River, it offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city. Yet, it’s within easy reach of major attractions like Gion and Kiyomizu Temple. Exploring Kyoto was a breeze thanks to this strategic spot. 3. Tranquil Ambiance Upon entering the hotel, I was greeted by a sense of calm. The minimalist design, soothing color palette, and soft lighting created an oasis of tranquility. It was the perfect escape after a day of sightseeing. 4. Impeccable Rooms My room was spacious, elegantly furnished, and impeccably clean. The comfortable bed ensured a restful night’s sleep, and the view of the nearby cherry blossoms added to the charm. The attention to cleanliness was evident throughout the property. In summary, the Kyoto Kaede Hotel Kamogawa exceeded my expectations. If you’re seeking a blend of attentive service, a prime location, and serene surroundings, look no further. I highly recommend this hotel for your next Kyoto visit.

Nothing, it was perfect

The reception was lovely, the room was clean and good. The hotel is close to Imperial Palace. The cons were there was no elevator for luggages, and the room wasn't super spacious for three people. Would be nice to get our towels changed daily as well.

it was very cute. nice location, very local feeling.

no kitchen in the apartment and it was fairly small. Seemed bigger on the pictures. Because of that I find it pretty overpriced.

Good value for money and a decent location

More clear signage on the front of the building to indicate that this is the hotel

Modern but traditional property. in a quiet neighbourhood.

No staff, so difficult to ask for things at the property or get recommendations.

Nice traditional rooms, kitchen facilities and washing machine.

Couldn't get an invoice/receipt.

A nice experience sleeping on the futons.

A room is a little small for 3 people.

Quite no fuss guesthouse. 2 min walk from the nearest station. 2 minute walk from the river. 2 minute walk to the nearest combini

wifi sometimes does not work
