Stayed in the Moderate room. Room felt smaller due to the large column near the beds. Great location close to a supermarket, train station and food options and bathroom was spacious. Only had 2 washers and dryers which were constantly in use and dryers took quite a while. For breakfast there was 3 sandwich options. Appreciated the guest lounge. Overall a good stay.

Rakuro is in the kind of special location where we would choose to live if we lived in Kyoto. Its concept and setting made us genuinely happy. Being close to the Gyoen National Park and surrounded by many artisanal spots showed us that we had chosen the perfect area. It’s a very calm place, away from tourist crowds. The hotel was clean and well-organized, and the staff were kind and helpful

We stayed in Kyoto for 4 nights and we loved the hotel. We had a room with tatami and a little table, where we spent the mornings. In the lobby they had a room with different kind of drinks, including amazing tea and cold water. The whole hotel smelled so good. The people who worked there was helpful, nice and

Location is very convenient as it is right at a train station exit. We drove into town and parking was relatively easy to find near the hotel. Night time parking rate starts 19:00 or 20:00 for most paid parking. The rooms are clean but very small and we have trouble opening more than one luggage. Overall it is a good value hotel at a convenient location unless small Japanese room size concerns you.

Absolutely incredible stay. The room was beautiful, the staff was kind and accommodating, the facilities were unreal, and two major sightseeing destinations and a train stop were within walking distance. Highly recommend; we splurged for our honeymoon but are now unlikely to stay anywhere else.

This hotel never disappoints. This is out second time staying here and every time we have a pleasant experience. The rooms are nice. The bus and subway are mins away. Many spots such as dt Kyoto, nishiki market, and the shopping arcades, are walkable. The lounge area is beautifully decorated and peaceful. The roof top patio gives a nice view of Kyoto.
