We really liked the room and we did also like the separate bathroom. The room does feel small if you have a lot of luggage, it would have been great if the sliding door had a lock so we could have kept the suitcases in the hallway. The amenities are mostly on the ground floor (pjs, toothbrush & toothpaste, razor, vanity kit) but the room does have shampoo, conditioner and body wash. There’s no body lotion provided or loofah which is a shame. The staff were lovely and helped with our luggage forwarding. Check in was also easy at the automated kiosk. The guest lounge is beautiful and provides water and teas (I did not spot any coffee in the room or the lounge). You can also pick up a room spray from the lounge which they make in the hotel. The location was good. The metro was really close and you only need to go a few stops on it to get to the shopping and eating areas. The park is also really close and really lovely to walk around. If you want to be a little out of the tourist areas but with easy access to everything this is ideal.

Rakuro Hotel in Kyoto We loved the hotel concept of fawn. There are beautiful plants and beautiful atmosphere in the lobby and guest lounge, featuring herb water with ice for the guests. The room was nice but not too spacious for a larger family. It was equipped with a mini fridge and kettle. Windows brought light to the room but no views, so it felt somewhat enclosed. The bathroom was very spacious and nice, with a separate toilet stall. The toilet/bathing spaces are separate from the room itself but still private within an overall enclosure. The hotel is conveniently located near the train station, eateries and convenience stores and the staff is very helpful and friendly.

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.

Unique Stay

Tranquil and Zen atmosphere hotel with as much peace and relaxation. The price is definitely not work the stay as you are paying for an experience that you can get elsewhere for a much better price, but all cost is associate for the location and city, one I found as more hype than truth. However, the establishment is cleaner than most and the decor is elegant and relaxing. There is just a lot of little things about the room, amenities, and social rooms that can be done much better, especially for the price.

While the staff was impeccably kind, professional, accommodating, and always helpful, there are a few things to be wary of before booking this hotel. First off, the double rooms are VERY small for the price. Secondly, the A/C was barely adequate for the outside temperatures, and couldn’t be adjusted any lower than 20C/ 68F— might not sound that bad on paper, but the air was very stagnant unless you used the very loud dehumidifier as a fan. Outside temps were 95F +, 70-90%humidity. Lastly, and most irritating for a hotel of ANY kind in 2025, the WI-FI was terrible—very slow, and frequently would simply disappear. I had to use my eSIM data to check email, etc. and my partner had difficulty doing work from his computer. There is a lounge with good connectivity, but come on— It’s your vacation, you want privacy and comfort with your internet! I will say, the location was as expected, convenient to the subway, konbini, a nice grocery store, and several restaurants. And again, the staff was excellent in every way, they were commendable!

We loved our stay at the Rakuro hotel in Kyoto. It is a beautiful space with lovely rooms and peaceful communal spaces. The lounge is a lovely place to sit for a while after a busy day in Kyoto. The staff is kind and helpful as well! We enjoyed breakfast one morning as well. While it was a bit pricey it was nice and filling.
