Amazing luxury hotel in the best possible location south of Pontocho and across the bridge from Gion. A huge room with a terrace and a sparkling large bathroom with a shower, wooden tub, and river views. Fridge stocked with beer and soft drinks and a washer-dryer for longer stays. None of this comes cheap but go and enjoy.

apartment-like stay by Kamo River in Kyoto

Our room at Aoi Hotel was very spacious, with a balcony the size of some budget hotel rooms and overlooking the Kamo River. The room gets daily cleaning and restocking, but the reception/concierge is not really present (they can be summoned with a phone call from the front desk). Overall, a unique, high-quality hotel in an excellent location.

Great boutique style with awesome amenities. The river view is amazing and kudos to Misato at the front desk who went above and beyond throughout the check-in process and helped translate all the little bottons in the room.

This is the place to be. Charming and very helpful staff. Exceptionally large, and comfortable room with river view. Stunning bathroom, shower and tub also with river view. Ideal location within walking distance to starred Gion restaurants and practically next door to the best bar in Kyoto, Turquoise. There is even a washer-dryer. Why stay anywhere else?

This hotel is in a great location in Kyoto. It was within walking distance of city center but tucked away on a quiet romantic street near the canal near restaurants and bars. The hotel is very Japanese - travelers will need to remove their shoes in the room. The bathroom shower was a little bit moldy, however. It was clean, but the wooden tub had some dark spots that really defy scrubbing. Otherwise, the room was spotlessly clean and perfect for a family. The washer dryer was great and easy to use and we liked have a refrigerator in the room.

5 stars close to Gion!

The room was perfect and has a nice view of the river. I loved the large, clean bathroom and the fact that I could do laundry there before we left for hakone. The service is impeccable and the hotel even provides a phone for you to use during your stay. They also helped us adjust the breakfast to accommodate my mom’s allergies.
