We stayed at Hotel Vista Kyoto and were so happy we chose this hotel. The location is ideal for exploring Kyoto -- it's right across Kyoto Station, on the quieter and less busy Higashi-kujo side. So easy for getting to and from Kansai International Airport on the Haruka Express, for taking the trains to the rest of the Kansai area,... More

Clean, spacious rooms right across from the Western entrance to the sprawling Kyoto station. Staff were helpful in holding our luggage while we waited for the check in time, they also had metro and bus tickets available for purchase which was very handy. Only downside is no wifi in rooms which is very rare for a hotel built in 2009.... More

This hotel is right across the road from Kyoto station which is good when you are carrying bags! Heaps of food and shopping near the station too so easy to keep yourself entertained. Modern rooms too and staff were pleasant.

The rooms were modern. clean and comfortable. The location of the hotel is second to none. It is across the road from Kyoto station (and buses) and within walking distance to restaurants and shopping centres. The staff were also kind enough to help me arrange a visit to a tourist sight. Highly recommended. My preferred hotel in Kyoto.

The best thing about his hotel is its location. Right across the street from Kyoto station, to the south. We had a room on the 10th floor that faced the station and it was quiet. I booked on the Internet and wasn't offered a breakfast package and wouldn't have taken it if it had been. There are dozens of small... More
