KAYA Kyoto Nijo Castle, BW Signature Collection by Best Western

Very private and tucked away in a nice part of town. It was warm, clean and friendly with great staff and amenities. The aesthetics were a luxurious traditional vibe. I had many requests during my time at Kaya including booking a doctors appointment and the staff were really accommodating despite how annoying even I thought I was getting. Absolutely loved the hotel's efforts to be environmentally friendly. Bicycle rental shop located a few mins walk away just one street back from the hotel.

The hotel is really nice and brand new, in my opinion it's in the best city of Japan, it has a good location near public transport and also close to nijo castle. If you don't mind walking along the streets of Kyoto it's a really good choice!

Good sized rooms. Netflix. Well equipped toiletries in room. Comfortable bed and pillows.

The decor was great, loved the bamboo theme. Loved the amenities in the room, had coffee and the machine and kettle were clean. Had robes and slippers. They put our luggage in the room since we stored our luggage at the front desk since it was before check in.

Excellent value for money - so many thoughtful touches! It was extremely clean, great interior design, very calming and Japanese style. It's very close to Nijo Castle and doesn't take long to get to the hustle and bustle of Gion and other areas. There were some highly rated restaurants nearby but all were booked when we were there so worth looking in advance. The hotel is locked on very cute Kyoto streets.
