My wife and I traveled to Kyoto as part of our first trip to Japan and we both agreed, without a doubt Villa Sanjo Muromachi was a - of not the - highlight of our trip. A beautiful boutique hotel with spacious rooms, beautifully decored that make you feel right at home in the heart of historic and charming Kyoto. We opted to have breakfast served to our room and specifically the Japanese version which we did not regret. The service is top notch and especially the bartender. First rate cocktails 😉 Thank you!

Layout

The layout, at least on our floor, 3rd, was 3 rooms on the floor. Our two bed room was at the front. Our parents King bed room was in the middle with only a lightwell. Then there was a rear room. Breakfast must be arranged each day at least 24hr in advance. Love the couch in the room. Great shower and bath area. Comfortable Beds. AC works very well. Not sure if there was any individual heat or if it was a whole bldg system. Location is very convenient for getting around. In our room there wasn't good space for very large suitcases. Ther was one rack in the closet which worked ok and floor space near the couch/coffee table

Villa Sanjo is a wonderful hotel. We stayed for one week during Christmas 2025 and could not have had a better experience. The hotel is situated in a side street but is very central and easy walking distance to restaurants, train stations, as well as highlights like Nishiki market and Kawaramachi shopping area. There is a wonderful bakery next door that was our go-to breakfast place. One note: the photos of the area do not do it justice; it is far nicer . The room was spotless and very spacious with modern amenities with a great shower. The room was spotlessly cleaned daily. One thing that sets this hotel apart was the fantastic staff. They were very helpful, offering great recommendations for restaurants and other highlights. In particular, Alex was incredible and offered truly exceptional service for our every need.
