It has been an awesome stay here. The staff and services were great. My family loved the breakfast and lounge. We ended up using taxi a lot which is extra expenses, but the location is still amazing since it’s so close to Kiyomizu-dera temple. Walking around in the morning and evening with less crowd was very pleasant. Actually, we forgot two wallets with cards and IDs in the safe. The hotel staff reached out via email and WhatsApp. It was such a relief that we could return to the hotel and pick up the wallets. Really appreciate the staff and their great help!

This may be the best hotel experience of my life. The facilities, atmosphere, location, cleanliness, and especially the kindness and attentiveness of the hotel staff were all exceptional. One of the greatest privileges of staying here was being able to take an early morning walk through Sannenzaka, Ninenzaka, and Kiyomizu-dera before the crowds arrived. The views of Kiyomizu-dera from the hotel created unforgettable memories and beautiful photos. The surrounding restaurants and shops were wonderful, and the hotel breakfast was absolutely perfect. We traveled with our child, and he loved every moment of our stay as well. Despite being in such a popular area, the hotel was remarkably quiet and peaceful. Seiryu Kyoto offers the perfect balance of relaxation and exploration. It is a place where you can enjoy both a comfortable retreat and an exciting Kyoto experience. We will never forget our stay and hope to return again someday.

We had an amazing experience at Seiryu Kyoto truly a stay defined by excellence. The hotel exceeded our expectations in every way, from the impeccable service to the attention to detail that made everything feel special. One highlight was the visitor center, which was thoughtfully curated with snacks and engaging cultural shows that made our stay even more memorable. Everything felt seamless, welcoming, and beautifully representative of the Kyoto experience. We would absolutely return and highly recommend it.
