Recent Reviews in Kyoto University

5/5 Excellent

"THE BLOSSOM KYOTO stands out for its blend of modern comfort and traditional Japanese style. The calming atmosphere, tasteful decor, and attentive staff made for a pleasant stay. I especially liked the relaxing public bath and convenient location near Kyoto’s main attractions. On the downside, dining options were limited, so I had to look elsewhere for meals. Overall, THE BLOSSOM KYOTO was comfortable, stylish, and offered a memorable Kyoto experience. "

5/5 Excellent

"The room was comfortable, tasteful, taller ceiling, but could be a little dark at night. The mini refrigerator was convenient, but without a microwave it meant more drinks than actual food, unless it was already cold, like a dessert. Having a small table and chairs was a nice treat to sit down and eat in the room. The place was filled with more foreigners than locals. There is an app you can get to use the public washer and dryer for your clothes, but be aware everyone is trying to use it too. This was a nice choice to get to most of the shopping and tourist areas. If you wanted to wander further into normal neighborhoods with smaller mini marts, that wasn’t too far either. It was definitely a nice place to stay."

5/5 Excellent

Highly recommend staying here

"Highly highly recommend! As soon as you step foot into the hotel, the service was amazing! The staff did not speak great English, but we were able to use simple words to communicate. The property itself is immaculate! No shoes are allowed as soon as you entered the hotel. I wore my white socks around the hotel all day and the bottom was still clean at the end of the day. You always see someone mopping or cleaning. The complimentary services (coffee, matcha, water, ice cream, soba noodles) was such a fantastic treat. Their breakfast buffet is a must because it is so delicious. The late night soba is also a must! The onsite onsen is also a must try. There were so many different pools and it was super clean! Overall, this is the best hotel we’ve have stayed at. The price per night is a great steal for this 5-star hotel!"
