What guests think

At Hotel Keihan Kyoto Ekiminami, travellers praise the unbeatable location across Kyoto Station, clean modern rooms, and friendly staff, while noting compact spaces, firm pillows, and busy, average breakfast service alongside occasionally confusing automated check-in.

Rooms are generally quiet despite the trains, with sizes ranging from compact to adequate for Japan, and small bathrooms that can be awkward for some. Service is warm and helpful, but the kiosk-based check-in/out may feel impersonal or slow at peak times. Breakfast feedback is mixed, with limited seating and crowds; quality varies from fine to underwhelming. Expect a great-value, transit-friendly base with efficient amenities and some trade-offs.

Right across Kyoto station, yet it remains quiet during my stay. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfast is a bonus, but can get crowded. Check in and out are all machine based, but has staff to guide you. Will stay again

新しい施設で快適。朝ごはんが、おつまみセット（アルコール、ノンアルコールとおつまみ）に変更できるサービスは翌日にホテルの外で京朝ごはんを食べようと思いついたので、朝食券が無駄にならずありがたかった。施設は自動チェックインでスムーズだし、チェックアウト後に使えるロッカーもいろんなサイズがあってすごく便利。部屋も新しいので綺麗。ロケーションも八条口から横断歩道渡ってすぐなので大雨でなければ傘がなくてもギリギリ大丈夫。料金、ロケーション、サービスのバランスに優れている。同料金ならまた泊まりたい。

京都駅八条口すぐで、新幹線利用者にはとても便利です。客室はきれいで、快適でした。ビジネスホテルとしては、十分だと思います。チェックイン前とチェックアウト後は、荷物は返却式のコインロッカーに預ける方式でしたが、いちいちホテルのスタッフさんの手を煩わさなくてもよいので、気楽でした。時間によっては、宿泊者向けの飲み物のサービスもあり、暑い中戻ってきたときにありがたかったです。機会があれば、また利用したいと思います。

The check-in and checkout process are automated but it looks like creates chaos when some many passengers check-in at peak hours. The machine always cannot find the booking when you are in foreign name. If Japan are proud of their traditions, why not use the traditional check- in at front desk. This would reduce the frustration of the tired just arrived tourists.

This hotel is perfect if you intend to make Kyoto as your main stopping point while visiting the nearby cities and attractions, like Nara, Osaka, Nashiki Market, Bamboo Forest, etc. It is very conveniently accessible. The main train station is just across the hotel, along with a mall with lots of food and shopping options. They have a self-service laundry station on the second floor, which you can pay by credit card. The breakfast buffet is costed at 1,980 yen which is considerably lesser than other hotels. The food option, though not superb, is fine. A mix of continental and Japanese menu. The staff can understand and speak English. I will definitely come back to this hotel when I visit the Kyoto area. I highly recommend.

Conveniently located. We used google translate to communicate with staff. Breakfast didn't look amazing- but there were lots of other options close to hotel. Location was key- directly across from Kyoto station. Great location if you plan to use transit system everywhere but not in immediate reasonable walking distance to most attraction and sites so keep that in mind. Overall, stay was good. on-site Washer and dryer are cashless and does not use detergent to wash clothes.

The best aspect of this hotel is the location, right in front of the Kyoto station. Great for arriving from and catching the bullet train. A block away from where tours meet. However, the room was a double made into a triple by adding an extra bed. Very hard beds. No room to walk with 3 people each with a medium suitcase and 3 carry ons. There were hairs in the bathroom when we arrived. I posted my first impression with Expedia, and upon checking out the staff member asked me to hold and apologized with a bow for the “incomplete cleaning.” Needless to say, the staff is great.

Hotel Keihan Kyotoeki Minami was the cheapest hotel on our Japan trip, and the rooms were also the smallest. The family room was less than 300 square feet, but it wasn't overly cramped. The bathroom was incredibly small, with no space for a toiletry bag. However, the location was fantastic! It's right across from Kyoto Station's North Exit. On both days in Kyoto, I visited a tourist attraction in the morning, then returned to the hotel to rest before catching the subway to the next one. Kyoto Station is also quite spacious, perfect for shopping and dining. The hotel also offers coffee, carbonated drinks, and other beverages. Microwaves and ironing boards are also conveniently located on each floor. The hotel also offers breakfast, but we didn't try it. The staff was also very friendly, and overall, it was a good choice. For convenient transportation, this hotel is a top choice.

Location is good, just opposite hachijo west exit at kyoto station. Staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast was ok. Only downside I would say is the washroom is small, and has no separate shower room only a bathtub beside basin and bidget. Not suitable for elderly as it is fall-prone I feel. I myself accidentally slip in bathtub. 😔 Need to be extremely careful showering in bathtub. Nonetheless, overall it is still a good stay.
