The staff were friendly but there was a communciation barrier, oftentimes it took a while to get across what we needed or answers to our questions. The hotel was clean and was stocked with amenities. The room looked nice but for what it was priced at, could have been been even better, with more programmes on tv, the sink to be within thw bathroom space. The hotel is quite close to restaurants and kyoto station. The spa servuce was lovely, thank you to the ladies that provided the service to us.

We don’t even know where to start. Our stay at Hotel Kanra was one of the highlights of our trip. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, the staff actually could not be more helpful even if they tried and the hotel is conveniently located next to the metro station as well as this beautiful huge temple. Our room itself gave us the traditional energy we wanted out of our Kyoto experience while still providing the cushy luxuries we enjoy on vacation. Could not recommend here more and will be recommending friends and family to stay here on their next visit to Kyoto!

This was an excellent hotel. The Japanese style of the rooms was beautiful. Probably the best hotel room of our 2-week stay in Japan. The staff was very helpful and attentive, especially T. Horii, who helped us book bus tickets to another destination. It was centrally located near the train station. Our favourite hotel of our trip to Japan.
