The room was a little small like every hotel in Japan

The staff, the lobby, the room was warm and confortable, the location was great. A good place to stay

Breakfast wasn't great, so we only had it once

Room was nice and clean, staff were very friendly. I liked the water and tea that was available in reception

The waiting room was a bit large with no place to enjoy food. Seems like a waste of space.

A Gem in Kyoto's Heart ♥️ A Haven of Modern Comfort and Traditional Charm Having spent six weeks traversing Japan and staying in over 20 hotels, I can confidently say Agora Kyoto Kamaruma stands out as a truly exceptional experience. Nestled in the heart of Kyoto, this fairly new four-star property seamlessly blends modern design with calming Japanese influences. 🌟 Modern Meets Tranquility The hotel's interior boasts beautiful colors and stunning Japanese rock art, creating a visually captivating yet serene ambiance. The rooms, while perfectly sized for solo travelers or couples, are a revelation. They're not just spacious; they feature the most comfortable beds I've encountered in all of Japan. 🌟 Exceptional Service Beyond Expectations What truly elevates Agora is the impeccable Kyoto service. The staff embodies the essence of Japanese hospitality, making you feel like royalty even in a four-star setting. Manager June Mantsui deserves special recognition. From the moment I arrived, his genuine warmth and attentiveness ensured a truly comfortable and unforgettable stay. It's no wonder the hotel receives such rave reviews! 🌟 Convenience at Your Doorstep Location is key, and [Hotel Name] doesn't disappoint. Situated in the heart of Kyoto, you'll find two supermarkets, three mini-marts, and bus lines all within easy reach. Whether you're exploring the city or relaxing in your haven, everything you need is at your fingertips. A 9.5 Out of 10 🌟 If you seek a hotel that excels in cleanliness, cutting-edge design, authentic Japanese elements, undeniable convenience, and unparalleled service, look no further than Agora Kyoto Karasuma It's a 9.5 out of 10 for me, and I can't recommend it highly enough.

There is a set breakfast which, for me, was too much and contained things I didn't want so we're wasted.

Lovely modern room, light wood furniture. Having refreshing drinks in reception-water or roasted green tea- is a nice touch. Great location, easy to reach various parts of the city. We were able to store our luggage for a few hours before our departure.

Staff were not as friendly/welcoming as other places we stayed in Japan.

Beautiful room, massive bed for two people.

I think this room was a llittle overpriced.

Very good, 2 double beds and very good shower and restroom with Toto toilet seat!

Not particularly bad, but I would have appreciate a buffet type of breakfast. It was the same meal every day (I know it is common in Japan)

I booked a double twin room and had plenty of space. I like that the shower was in a separate room. The room was clean and the staff friendly. The TV had streaming services on it.

The lack of light, both natural and electrical. There was a window, but as the hotel butted up against the building next-door, and they frosted the glass, very little light got into the room. An overhead light in the the room would’ve been helpful. All the interior lighting was coming from smaller side lights. The location was okay, it was about 30 minutes from Kyoto station by bus or subway + walking.

I thought my room was excellent value for the money The room was modern, compact, clean and completely self-contained. Everything was in one room; Two comfortable beds, a wash hand basin, a little tea area with a small table and chairs, A rack to hang up clothes. The toilet and shower were in two separate small rooms with doors on them. They had hot drinks and water in lobby at all times. Great seating area with tables in lobby, which were nice as the rooms were small so you could come downstairs and do some trip planning on a table. Staff were very helpful.

There was nothing I didn't like. Everything was very good and exceptional. Will come back again

Very clean hotel. Beautiful location. Close to so many restaurants right next to Pokemon Center, train station and everything needed nearby. Staff was incredible. Very helpful with anything I needed

The location isn’t the best if you want to be close by attractions. Bus stop is really close by to the hotel which was great. Perfect if you want to be close to the shopping streets

Very modern and comfortable hotel

Breakfast was good. Not a whole of choices either that is set in a Japanese bento box. The bus stop number 50 is right outside hotel that takes you to the nightingale castle (Nijo Castle). Hotel is a a feet from the main street of Shijo-Dori street, running parallel to the Main Street, a block to the North is Nishiki -Komi market. And Gion and old town are walking distance from both end of market and end of Main Shijo-Dori street.

Breakfast is not suitable for Westerners. It is mainly for Japanese guests. It would be nice if we are give a choice. I certainly don’t like fish for my breakfast

Location, spacious, lifts, quiet and toilet (water for the toilet bowl can be used for washing hands first is a brilliant idea)

The pillows on the bed were not to my liking as they actually hurt my neck. Next time I would request softer pillows but I was only there for two days.

Stunning design and location was quite convenient. The room was spacious and comfortable.

They do not have a single cupboard in the room. A small one too. Be mindful of the space area when booking. That way you can avoid complaining about the rooms.

Super close to the station. Tea and coffee provided at front desk free of cost. I like the part that bath area and wash basin is separate - efficient when getting ready. Found a lot of negative reviews on pillows - found them totally okay. I think a lot depends on what you are generally used to. The place doesn’t have an added character - just good to park yourself in Kyoto to explore around. Family mart and a lot of restaurant options around the area. Staffs were kind and willing to help.

The room is very small. We booked a room for 3 people. But the third bed is just a sofa. However, we paid price for 3 people.

The location is great. And the room is clean.

Everything about this hotel was great. The rooms were quite big compared to othet hotels. Staff was very accommodating. Excellent location and very easy to get around to places. The laundry room was a major bonus so you don't have to overpack your luggage with clothes. 10/10

The receptionists serve breakfast while checking in or checking out people which can become stressful for them and increase the waiting time.
