Sora Niwa Terrace Kyoto

Clean room with warm indirect lighting ...Staff speak various languages ... English, Korean, Chinese.

Excellent location in Central Kyoto, right in the heart of shopping district, plenty of food options, and a short walk to Gion on the East. Very near to Hankyu train station that goes to Osaka Umeda. Staff were so friendly, always smiling and ready to assist. Rooms on the smaller side, not sure if it's the layout that made it feel more cramped, but Japan hotel rooms are generally like that. Best thing about this hotel is the open air natural hot spring! Amazing view of the mountains and you can even see Kiyomizu Dera temple in the distance. The water temperature was also not burning hot like some other public baths. There are complimentary drinks (including alcohol) on the rooftop terrace everyday from 4.30 to 6pm. Also free drinks from coffee machine all day in the lounge. I did not take hotel breakfast as I saw it is only simple bento box instead of buffet, so you can get better food outside.

A beautiful hotel with cosy rooms, fabulous amenities (onsen, drinks and snacks on reception level, afternoon beverage on the roof, and even onsen coffee in the mornings). I loved enjoying the rooftop foot spa any change i could get. The location was very convenient especially when taking the Privace train to Osaka afterwards. I would definitely stay here again and loved my stay.

This hotel is very convenient. The staff is nice. Though the room is not very big, it has everything you want and the bed is comfortable.

This is a hotel in a good location, but the hot spring is small and crowded. Here's the main issue: I asked a hotel staff member for chopsticks in the evening, and he told me to get them from the B1 floor, but there were none. After that, there was no one at the front desk. They were very unfriendly. They kept calling to check out in the morning, calling twice.

Clean hotel with good facilities the only thing is that i have tattoos( cute ones not japanese oriented) and still I wasn t allowed to bath in the onsen and I understand that based on their culture. Thank you!

Good location, but the cleanliness, service and amenities are not reflecting the reviews on various platforms. You have to bring your room towel to onsen, wear the same cardigan for sleeping and going to onsen. Needs significant improvements.

Wonderful hotel, very comfortable rooms, welcoming personnel, amazing rooftop terrace & onsen, top location. Highly recommend!

hotel environment is good Just small n expensive
