Love this place. Perfect location.

Loved this place on a quiet street next to the river and a short walk from Gion’s cultural sites. The 1br apartment suited our family of 4 given the enclosed sleeping space near the living room for our 2 kids. The apartment is well designed and comfortable with all you need to cook, do laundry and relax. It was a perfect pick for our visit to Kyoto. The staff are excellent and easy to communicate with.

The location is perfect for walking and bus access anywhere oin Kyoto. The street is quiet, beautifully paved, with a canal and trees on one side, and the beautiful river walks on the other. It was the prettiest neighborhood we saw in Kyoto and we traveled all over! Kitchen is well equipped and staff highly responsive to whatever is needed, The rooms are large and quiet, the beds amazing, and super helpful desk staff 12 hrs per day. Great controls for temp and humidity in each room, and a serene retreat each day. Yet right across the river is Gion, you are a short 10 min walk from Karamachi and the all the downtown stores. Bus and subway lines to all the great sites a block away. Amazing!

The room smelled of mildew, mold and sewage when we arrived, since the humidity was high and ventilation was poor. We asked for disinfectant and sprayed in the room and air conditioning unit just to be able to stand the odor in the room. Only after a couple of nights of running the dehumidifier and a/c through the night( which made getting to sleep difficult since the units were loud) did we get the odor to a bearable level. The beds were very hard.

I had a great stay. It’s like an apartment but have the amenities like a hotel, except that they don’t clean the room during the stay. But you can drop towels in the laundry basket downstairs and pick fresh ones anytime. There is reception round the clock, which is awesome. View of the river is fantastic. There is a Japanese style room which was a nice experience.

Kyoto Riverview House Kyou-raku was one of our favorite places to stay in Japan. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Alex made our experience even better due to his excellent customer service! Great location on a quiet street. Walkable to the train station, restaurants, and shopping. We really liked the layout of the apartment, plenty of room for our family of 4. The washer/dryer was very helpful. We hope to stay here again on our next trip to Japan.

We had such a lovely experience staying at Kyoto River View House as a family of four. The superior suite had more than enough room and having a kitchenette and laundry machine was extra helpful. The location of the hotel was very picturesque, and it was such a pleasure walking around to get to many sights. Kyoto station was a bit of a walk (30 minutes) so we ended up taking the local bus or taxi if we needed to get on the JR trains. Hotel is a five minute walk to Keihan train line though so it is possible to use that directly and transfer to JR line a few stops down. Many minimarts close by and dining options!

We just love staying at Kyoto Riverview House. The staffs at the front desk were just awesome. They went out of their way to make our stay amazing,ie. book our restaurants, call our taxis, answer all our questions. The location is the best, Gion district is just across the river and the market is just 10 minutes walk. Our room was big with all the amenities - stove, fridge, microwave. The bed was very comfortable which was a big deal for us after a full day of activities. When we come back to Kyoto, we would definitely stay here again.
