Hotels near Hokan-ji Temple

This is a Ryokan style hotel with tatami mats in main room, toilet in small side closet, and sink in room. Shared baths on the basement floor were clean and very comfortable. We spent two nights, mid-week during Cherry blossom season. Very convenient location to major shrines and temples in Kyoto area. Staff are friendly, main desk staff speak some English while room staff typically do not. Hotel is right next to Tozai subway exits 2 and 3 on south side of Oike Dori (street) across from Kyoto city office buildings (city hall). Honno-ji shrine is behind the hotel and can be accessed from three paths nearby. There is a good underground mall connected to the subway station with restaurants and shops including a nice grocery. Plenty of shops and restaurants within 5 minute walking distance. Some things to be aware of: - There was no A/C in our rooms on the 6th floor and with outdoor high temp around 20 degrees C the hotel rooms were very warm - As noted by others, hotel lobby is very smoky. If you don't like smoke it can be uncomfortable even passing through - WiFi is only available on ground floor (lobby), but you can stand outside the main door and get a good signal. Nice for those who want to avoid smoke If you are expecting western style hotel rooms this is not a good fit, but if you are up for a more traditional Japanese experience it is a good place to stay.

Wonderful stay in Kyoto and the surroundings. Amazingly beautiful during the cherry blossom festival.

Great hotel and location but walls quite thin and the room a little noisy. Screaming baby and conversations keeping me awake. Pity because otherwise great

Hotel tres bien situé, à 5 min de la station de métro Kawaramachi. Il est situé dans un quartier très animé matin comme soir. Pleins de magasins et de restaurants dans cette rue. Le quartier GION (celui des geisha) est à 2 pas, qq temples importants sont accessibles à pied en qq min. Un 7 eleven est au pied de l'hotel. Il ya meme le wi-fi gratuit pour ceux qui ont un ordinateur portable. Pour ceux qui n'en ont pas, il y a un oridnateur à disposition dans le hall avec internet gratuit. Je recommande vivement cet hotel pas trop cher et très bien situé.

Great hotel, we stayed in the Japanese Style ryokan, lots of space and beautifuly clean rooms. the staff are very gracious and helpful. We also enjoyed a Traditional Tea Ceremony.

Excellent experience. Really there's nothing bad to say about this hotel.

Really enjoyed our stay here- a modern well decorated Hotel. Staff excellent - friendly and helpful . Very centrally placed for shops restaurants and also walk able to many of the tourist sites The Boulangerie next door was a delight the most wonderful cakes bread and pastries. Would definitely reccomend and return!

I should preface this by saying the property has only been open for a month or so and the hotel itself is very nice. The only problem is the VERY inexperienced staff. With the sole exception of the cleaning staff the service was mediocre at best from the front desk, concierge, bell staff, and wait staff in the one restaurant we tried. The level of service was nowhere near what you'd expect from a 5* hotel

Hotel agréable, tyique, calme, avec wifi dans la salle commune. Le gérant de l'hotel est très sympa et le petit déjeuner correct. Les douches sont communes (homme et femme séparés). Elles sont accessibles de 17h à (environ) 23h puis le matin jusqu'à 9h. L'hotel est très bien situé.
