Hotel Okura Kyoto Okazaki Bettei

I was looking for a luxurious hotel with Kyoto touch, cozy, away from the buzz yet easily accessible. Totally happy about my choice. All the staffs were friendly and helpful. There were 2 gardens surrounding the premise with an open view, one of them outside the restaurant where we had breakfast daily. Breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented. The room was cozy and fresh, overlooking the temple afar. High quality toiletries, beautiful tea set and well stocked drinks. The indoor flower arrangement in different corners of the hotel was tasteful and warm. It was also a pleasure to take a stroll in the quiet neighbourhood, where places like Nanzenji and Kyoto Kyocera Museum were accessible on foot. There's a bus stop right outside the hotel where we took the bus directly to the Arashiyama district. We really appreciate the professionalism and hospitality of all the staffs, especially Mr Shinkawa who greeted us every morning to make sure we were having a good time.

Although there were only two breakfast options, the service was amazing, and the omelette was soft, layered, and delicious. Starting the morning with a view of the garden was simply the best. The location is wonderful, nestled among quiet temples and within walking distance of Kyoto’s cultural centers.

Lovely comfortable room. I love the location of the hotel as it is quiet and not centrally located where there are lots of tourist. That said it is not that far from the central of Kyoto.

Nice room for 3 people (we were upgraded to a 45 m2 room). Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast (served at the table, no buffet). Quiet location, just make sure to tell taxi drivers to take you to Hotel Okura Okasaki Beitei, as there is another hotel Okura downtown Kyoto.

Service, room, Japanese breakfast and dinner were excellent. My wife mentioned that it was my birthday and I was left a very sweet message in my room. We purposely chose this location to be away from the more busy areas of Kyoto. Logistically, it worked perfect. There is a grocery store across the street. Taxis were easy and convenient and we were also able to walk to the Philosopher’s Path and other areas easily.
