Very nice rooms and great service. It’s a nice mix of modern luxuries with some traditional features. Not an issue for us but we didn’t know about the accommodation tax that we had to pay when we checked in. It wasn’t a lot and it goes to keeping the city maintenance but we didn’t know about it till we got there. ##### Fidana Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lei Sep 2, 2025 The air conditioning ##### Lei Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### fayth anne Jun 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We were a group of 6 and we had a lot of room.

The rooms are very clean and large, very good for families. ##### Dan Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Abigail Aug 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Not an easy way to pull up to hotel; parking for the hotel is around the corner. The restaurant was beautiful and the food was excellent, service was slow. ##### Abigail Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Luke Nov 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities The property itself was okay. The hotel itself was very quiet and staff weren’t always around. At times it felt like a ghost hotel. The room itself was spacious, with a nice bathroom. However, there wasn’t any cupboard space, the space I don’t think was used efficiently as it could have been. It is the first hotel I’ve ever been too around the world that doesn’t change your bed… I stayed 5 days and they don’t change the sheets at any point. They do come in to change the bins replace the item of clothing- the gown they provide. Staff were polite but there wasn’t any information about their restaurant or local area handed out. Would I stay here again? No. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8799a2cb-c4d3-4e09-925d-46dda5fef333-1763106596114.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/02ffe65d-b2f7-4eb5-9c6f-3941ab365ecc-1763106599204.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/baef7092-7d8c-4925-a30a-f18a892ba83e-1763106602088.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/da3e5cf6-7784-48b6-863f-282927eab751-1763106603434.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Luke Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Mar 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Location is great, next to Kyoto aquarium and a nice park.

The location was perfect – central and with easy access to Kyoto Station, making it very convenient to get around. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and modern, with a great bathroom. We had a small issue with the hot water at first, but the staff quickly resolved it. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and would definitely recommend Hotel Banister Kyoto to other travelers. ##### Beate Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mashuk Aug 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was great and the space in the rooms are perfect more than enough space for literally everything. ##### Mashuk Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Depti May 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a problem with our room so they upgraded us to a nicer one! ##### Depti Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kayla Jun 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This hotel was wonderful and the staff were very kind as well.

It is a short walk from the Kyoto Station (10-15 minutes). There are several 7-11's located in the area so you can grab food/drinks. The hotel also has a restaurant/bar located in the lobby/common area. The staff was friendly and assisted us with any questions we had. They provided us with amenities such as toiletries, fresh towels daily, and water. The rooms are newer and the bathroom was new and had a nice shower/tub. We really enjoyed the space, we have stayed at plenty of hotels throughout Japan and this room had more room than other places which helps when you are traveling with a family. Tge neighborhood was quiet which was nice not hearing the cars and city life. We would stay there again. ##### Jennifer Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aleksandr Nov 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great vacation in Kyoto Excellent hotel with great location and exceptional service and people!

It hand a room for tea, that at night transformed into a place to sleep with tatamis. The bathroom and shower area were among the best in Japan. ##### Alicia Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alvin Nov 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice hotel and comfortable stay. Good accommodating for luggages storage before/after checkin. Too bad the breakfast required reservation and there wasn't much restaurant to close by. Close-by To-ji, train museum and aquarium. ##### Alvin Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angel Jul 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We're a group of 6\. This room provided us more than enough space for each of us. The tatami area is spacious that we could lay 4 futons + the table with sitting for tea in there. Sliding doors provide privacy from the bedding and tatami areas. So, my husband and I could sleep without feeling like 6 people in a room. Also, the bathroom is nice and big. I could bath in an American standard bathtub each day. I loved it! Also, the hotel was the only one that we would receive bottle waters each day comparing with other 3 hotels we stayed in our trip. ##### Angel Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Justin Jul 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very comfy and new ##### Justin Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Gran Ms Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Gran-Ms-Kyoto.h8962891.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Kanra Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Kanra-Kyoto.h4290390.Hotel-Information) > > [Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Onyado-Nono-Kyotonanajyo-Natural-Hot-Springs.h44762017.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Canvas-Kyoto-Nijo.h59440545.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Brighton Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Brighton-Hotel.h919.Hotel-Information) > > [Momijiya Bekkan Kawanoiori](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Momijiya-Bekkan-Kawanoiori.h15431581.Hotel-Information) > > [Keio Prelia Hotel Kyoto Karasuma Gojo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-KEIO-PRELIA-HOTEL-KYOTO-KARASUMA-GOJO.h26692179.Hotel-Information) > > [Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Nohga-Hotel-Kiyomizu-Kyoto.h69673755.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Granvia Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Granvia-Kyoto.h444770.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Emion Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Emion-Kyoto.h45911447.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Machiya Zeniyacho](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kiraku-Kyoto-Zeniyacho.h42077450.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-MUSSE-Kyotoshijokawaramachi-Meitetsu.h52041999.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Kyoto Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Mercure-Kyoto-Station.h46949381.Hotel-Information) > > [nol kyoto sanjo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Nol-Kyoto-Sanjo.h45003003.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Resol Kyoto Kawaramachi Sanjo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Resol-Kyoto-Kawaramachi-Sanjo.h21926337.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Granbell Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Granbell-Hotel.h18414583.Hotel-Information) > > [THE BLOSSOM KYOTO ](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-BLOSSOM-KYOTO.h76497805.Hotel-Information) > > [Cross Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-CROSS-HOTEL-KYOTO.h27026975.Hotel-Information) > > [Nazuna Kyoto Tsubaki St.](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Nazuna-Kyoto-Tsubaki-St.h46053153.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Hotel-Kyoto-Sanjo.h4538458.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-RICHMOND-HOTEL-PREMIER-KYOTO-EKIMAE.h37207574.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-FORZA-KYOTO-SHIJO-KAWARAMACHI.h65026979.Hotel-Information) > > [TUNE STAY Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-TUNE-STAY-Kyoto-Hostel.h39861619.Hotel-Information) > > [HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-The-Mitsui-Kyoto.h57209082.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Shijo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Shijo.h3806437.Hotel-Information) > > [Dhawa Yura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Yura-Hotel-MGallery.h34865507.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Kyoto.h1406680.Hotel-Information) > > [THE THOUSAND KYOTO](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Thousand-Kyoto.h29393917.Hotel-Information) > > [Miru Kyoto Nishiki](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Miru-Kyoto-Nishiki.h24201327.Hotel-Information)
