I love Hotel Kuu. It's a 10 minute walk from Kyoto Station, a transportation hub for both the city and beyond. The staff is super friendly. The rooms are comfortable and there is a public bath on the property, which is a real plus as far as I'm concerned.

Loved the staff. Breakfast was the best I have ever had anywhere the very best. Servers and cooks worked very hard at making everything perfect. Front desk staff was more than helpful with every little need.. Small rooms but worth it. Would definitely stay here again. Great location. My husband loved the hot tubs.

Perfect spot to stay in for Kyoto. Has a little manga corner for you to use and our room had a beautiful view of the temple right across from it. Also has bus stops nearby and is walkable to many of the shopping malls and restaurants nearby. Room was more spacious than other accommodations that we had in Japan and lots of toiletries were provided for us to pick from in the main hallway. Staff was very kind and helpful (always greeted us coming in and going out of hotel, one staff member went above and beyond to help us with a laundry issue).

The staff at Hotel Kuu were wonderful when we had an unexpected snafu in our transportation from Tokyo to Kyoto. They were very helpful in other ways as well. I do wish the beds and pillows weren’t so hard and uncomfortable but I found this to be the norm in all the hotels we stayed at in Japan. Loved the bidet toilets but not the 1-ply toilet paper. The spa baths were a luxurious bonus!

This is the most wonderful hotel I have ever stayed at! The staff are impeccably polite and so helpful. The view from this hotel can not be beat. It is so peaceful and the onsen are absolutely top notch! When I booked this hotel I was excited , but when we actually checked in I was blown away by the contemporary traditional atmosphere as a whole. Their breakfast is also healthy and delicious with too many different options to list. Be assured that our next visit to Kyoto will definitely include a stay at Hotel Kuu!! Thank you so much!

This is a sweet hotel, with a lovely Onsen downstairs. The location is very walkable with lots of restaurants, shops, convenience stores and easy transit access in the area. Although the hotel is on a main road, it’s relatively quiet at night. Staff were friendly. No complaints at all.

Loved the hotel, it offers a delightful blend of modern comfort and traditional Japanese elements, conveniently located near Kyoto Station, near pharmacies, konbinis, shopping and restaurants. The hotel's standout feature is its in-house onsen, featuring two baths that alternate daily between genders, providing a peaceful retreat after sightseeing. I enjoyed their buffet breakfast, and it caters to both Western and Japanese tastes. I highly recommend this hotel.
