Between ancient temples and modern manga museums, Kyoto reveals itself through contrasts. Wander through vermillion gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine, where thousands of torii create tunnels of orange against green mountainside. Geisha hurry through narrow Gion streets at dusk, their white-painted faces glimpsed briefly before disappearing into exclusive teahouses.

10/10 Excellent

"The Blossom was a true Experience for us. It is what we imagined a modern Japanese hotel would be like. Rooms are spacious, and tastefully appointed. The decor, Onsen in the basement, provided Yukata with instructions all suggested we are in Japan. The staff are very helpful and respectful. Any amenities you may imagine from forgotten shavers, hairbrushes, toothbrushes etc to beauty products are present in the room. They did not have coffee in room, but we could access the basement lounge anytime with state of the art Nespresso beverage dispenser, juice, ice cream etc. This was our best experience in Japan, having stayed in 3 hotels here. We are one stop away from Kyoto Station on the Karasuma line. Get off at Gojo station The in house restaurant was very good. We had seared Salmon and the seasonal fish (Spanish mackerel with clams). The salmon was excellent, mackerel was mackerel. We only wish we could stay there longer."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Kyoto

Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Kyoto is during January, February, and September, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For an enriching experience that covers the city’s key historical and cultural landmarks, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. This duration allows visitors to explore magnificent temples, stunning gardens, and significant monuments, as well as enjoy tours and sightseeing opportunities that highlight Kyoto’s rich heritage and natural beauty. By visiting during these months, travellers can enjoy great value for money while immersing themselves in the city’s captivating culture.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Kyoto, begin by browsing the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions that could help you save. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're more likely to see the best options. By doing so, you'll be promptly notified if prices drop or if rooms become available, making it easier to secure a last-minute getaway.
Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you potentially save on your stay in a Kyoto hotel. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and sometimes better value.
