Amazing staff (so so super kind and helpful!) as well as a fantastic room. It felt like a wonderful blend of modern and traditional inside our room. I look forward to returning to hotel Kanra in the future as it has been my favourite hotel I have stayed in Japan so far!
wide and clean room, calm environment, good lounge service, kind staff. ^^

The room was amazing! The tub was used every night after walking 20k steps a day. The employees were always helpful and pleasant and the location was perfect. It was next to everything.
The staff were excellent, every detail in the room was thoughtful, breakfast was better than most restaurants. We dined in the restaurant for dinner - the A5 wagyu was incredible. We would highly recommend this hotel to friends.
Very helpful and pleasant staff throughout stay, an exceptional welcome. The hotel is very clean and serene. There is a lounge area with a small range of good quality drinks, tasteful souvenirs and an area where you can watch a local artisan at work (they were advertising interesting classes at no or low cost but we didn’t participate as itinerary was short). Unable to comment on breakfast but the location is superb - next to a major cultural site and with shops nearby. The room was spacious (deluxe twin) and clean, but was facing a road that could be occasionally noisy at night. As a heavy sleeper (and after 20,000 steps + a day) it didn’t bother too much but could be a bit of an issue for lighter sleepers. Overall very peaceful, well located, great staff and clean.
Perfection! Staff were friendly, welcoming, very professional. Room was incredible- the soaking tub was amazing. Will definitely return for future stays.

The room was wonderful. Clean and spacious. The staff was attentive and very helpful. Looking forward to my next visit!
I had a wonderful time at Kanra. The hotel was very comfortable and tasteful. If I come to Kyoto again. I have no doubt to stay there. We spent four nights and really enjoyed our stay. Location is good too, 1 min walk from Gojo station. What I loved the most was the breakfast buffet. It was amazing.
Our absolute favorite, 100% recommend! The atmosphere when you enter is absolute zen and calm. Quiet Japanese luxury at its best! Breakfast and dinner delicious, staff wonderful!
The room is fantastic. I loved the design, and the bathroom is wonderful. Breakfast was delicious and very diverse, with both Japanese and international options. We had dinner at the hotel one night, and it was excellent. The staff is very warm, friendly, and helpful. A great experience that truly elevated our stay in Kyoto. Highly recommended!
Room - great and spacious. Staff - their attitude is great mostly but for some of them when they speak in english their tone and attitude wasnt the nicest and most helpful to us when we seek for help
Staff was amazing very kind and thoughtful as well as very helpful they all know English so if you don’t fully understand Japanese they can help and the room was amazing! But the best part was the spa i went to get a back massage and it helped with my back recovery!
All the staff at Hotel Kandra Kyoto were so helpful.
Breakfast was excellent with many healthy options. Breakfast staff were wonderful and personable.
The rooms were clean and spacious.
Thank you for making our Kyoto stay amazing and comfortable.
