I don’t get to stay in super nice hotels often due to budget constraints. With that being said: This was the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. I’d gladly do it again, the private onsen was more than worth it. The staff were incredibly kind and the location was super close to the nearby river and some train stations. I would love to come back and stay longer next time.

Property is very nice and all staff, literally all, are helpful and attentive. They have a very good concierge. The only drawbacks are evening visits to the roof deck require a drink purchase or you can’t hang out there and we were unable to bring our friends onto the property. We wanted to visit with our friends from Kyoto without having to go to a busy restaurant or bar. Otherwise, this is a great property. In room Onsen is great. I recommend the Corner King room

Definitely Recommend!

We loved the Soraniwa! The location was so great, room was awesome (with the private onsen) & the service was generous and kind! We had come from the other side of Kyoto where it was much quieter. While that was a lovely experience, we were glad to be more "in the mix" of the city side of Kyoto at the Soraniwa. Although being in the city, it was very quiet at night. The only downside was that we had difficulty with the AC & the room got very stuffy and hot overnight (this may have been user error). We loved that there are restaurants, shopping, and bar/lounges easily available in walking distance. We will definitely recommend this hotel to friends who are visiting Kyoto.

I wish I stayed for another night as 1 night is too short. The private bath is a must! I am not used to public baths so it's so nice relaxing in the comfort of your own room and getting a view of Kyoto. Do check out the public baths, the view (garden versus city view) alternates each day between the men and women's bath.

Glad I picked this hotel

Immaculate room. Professional staff. VIP treatment. Separate entrance/exit to the hotel was a plus. Having a private onsen bath in the room was fabulous. The variety of free drinks in the fridge was very nice. Upstairs Terrace with foot bath and a complimentary drink was thumbs up. Good shopping and food choices around hotel. Enjoyed my stay here.
