We had a wonderful stay here. Rooms were very spacious. Staff were friendly and attentive. Really enjoyed the complimentary drinks. Only drawback for us was how loud the road noise was at night. We were in the main building on the 4th floor which faced the main road so if you are sounds sensitive, i would suggest you let them know when booking. Otherwise this hotel was great.

The hotel was incredible, typical Japanese style, which is what attracted us to this property. The rooms were amazing and included a Japanese bamboo bathtub. The hotel always smelled delicious, the decoration inside was so Japanese-style. And the staff was very friendly, on the first day when we arrived all sweaty from the heat, they offered us some delicious cold tea. Definitely would return here in Kyoto.

A Fantastic Stay in Kyoto We recently spent four nights at this hotel in Kyoto and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The location was incredibly convenient, just a two-minute walk from a subway station, making it easy to explore the city. Every staff member was exceptionally friendly, always greeting us with a warm smile and a bow. Our room was a perfect blend of modern comfort and traditional Japanese aesthetics. It featured two full-size beds and was surprisingly spacious. We especially loved the subtle Japanese touches, like the tatami mat area and the beautiful wooden tub, which added a unique charm to our stay. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kyoto!

Kanra was a lovely abroad that provided authentic Japanese inn qualities combined with some westernized amenities. Very accommodating for foreign travelers who want an experience and to be comfortable and familiar. The staff was friendly and responsive in a polite manner.
