Very friendly staff in a nice and quiet location close to the centre
La posizione, l’appartamento, la vista, la pulizia.
A very spacious apartment located in a beautiful spot on the river, very close to restaurants, convenience stores and transport. The staff were so welcoming and helpful and even accommodated an unplanned extra night when our flight was cancelled.

空间大,位置佳,父母住得很满意。庆幸我在出发前调整了住宿,把酒店换成了民宿,一方面父母不能长时间在外面逛,呆在这家民宿就可以看风景,室内空间也很舒适。另一方面父母不习惯一直吃饭店,在这里可以自己做饭。
牙刷牙膏不好用
Fijne locatie, mooi appartement.

Appartamento spazioso dotato di tutti i comfort, zona centrale, personale super-gentile.
Nulla.
Very helpful staff. Pretty quiet, lots of room
Longer walk to activities, but wonderful views on the way.
Staff were super helpful. They suggested many places for us to visit and took time to give us detailed answers to our questions. There is a Nespresso machine in reception and you can help yourself to coffee. The living area was great, with a comfy sofa and decent TV. Also a table to comfortably sit and eat at
The second bedroom was part of the main living area, so its not feasible for someone to sleep there unless everyone goes to bed
Friendly staff and great location. Not cheap if you bring car. We parked next door and I am sure there may be cheaper places but wanted convenience
I would suggest getting black out blinds as the sun comes in early and bright !
Brilliant view from balcony, great central location, and really lovely and helpful staff
enough space for a stay with 4 adult. very nice location between Shijo and Gojo, surrounded by nice restaurants in quite atmosfare. short taxi drive from Kyoto station and working distance from city center, Shijo Kawaramachi,
Stanza enorme con 2 letti e 2 futon. Nonostante fossimo 4 adulti non abbiamo avuto problemi di spazi. La nostra camera aveva un balcone sulla riva del fiume che ci ha regalato momenti romantici guandando la luna. Comodissimo per la visita della città, Kyoto stupenda, e per tutte le comodità, dai ristoranti ai negozi alla movida.
Great location, staff friendly, shops and restaurants close by.
Only small gripe would be bed in living room couldn’t be screened off so easily disturb someone sleeping there.
Great location, spacious, nice view to river. Staff friendly and supportive.

Die Lage war perfekt für die Besichtigung von Kyoto.
Das Bett war ein bisschen schmal für zwei Personen.
La ubicación es de 10, una zona céntrica, pero a la vez tránquila. El apartamento es muy amplio y al tener lavadora y cocina es un respiro necesario en un viaje familar largo. El personal de recepción muy atento y amable. El servicio de envío de maletas desde recepción se agradece de verdad.
Como recomendación, incluiría alguna sugerencia o información de restaurantes de la zona que lleve la cena al apartamento por si alguna noche no apetece salir.
Beliggenhed var helt perfekt. Lejligheden passe virkelig godt til os.
Beautiful location and views of river. Beds and living room very good. Very relaxing and staff friendly and helpful. Very nice street with good bars and restaurants
No table for eating.
Spacious apartment, warm staff, good location. Excellent value. Would definitely stay again
We had enough space to hang the clothes in the wardrobes, but a couple of drawers would have been nice
Great location, easy walk to station. Quiet street with lovely river views.
Beautiful location, spacious apartment, kind and helpful staff. Having this much space in Japan felt like a luxury! Easy to get to from Kyoto station and close to Pontocho, Gion, and the river.
The all-in-one washer/dryer stretched out our cottons and did not dry the clothes. We had better luck hanging our clothes on the drying rack next to the de-humidifier. However, it is convenient to be able to wash without going to a laundromat.
Property was perfectly located and well appointed. We had everything we needed for our stay.
Because it was an apartment style hotel, I would have preferred if there were simple cleaning amenities like a broom or small vacuum.
The space, the layout, the location, the people.
Great location and a great view! Nice big room and was so convenient having a washing machine!
We loved our stay here. The location was fantastic on a lovely quiet street next to the river with restaurants etc nearby, but also very walkable to the busier areas. We walked to many places we wanted to visit but were also close to train stations and the bus. We had a fantastic river and mountain view. The apartment was large and very comfortable and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again and feel like we had the best location and view in Kyoto.
The room has combination of modern kitchen and Japanese traditional dining corner. Very huge room, well-equipped. Great location.
Great home base for our family of 4 to explore Kyoto. There were multiple sites within walking distance and easy access to public transport for those further away. The facilities were perfect for our needs and the view was spectacular!
Lovely location, very well connected to the centre and yet very peaceful and had its own vibe. The room was good and spacious
The bedroom could have been bigger
Wonderful room. Large enough for our family of four to spread out. Wonderful location. Easily walkable to everything and on the river. Was very quiet. Great food nearby. Would highly recommend.
Nothing
Lieu calme mais insonorisation insuffisante. Les déplacements du voisin du dessus a 3 heures nous ont réveillés.
La piece principale fait 2.20 m x 1.90 m et c'est difficile de déplier. Trop d'accessoires encombrants dans un espace exigu. Pas de rangement. Le mécanisme des fenêtres mériterait une note explicative. Pas de volet/rideau occlusif
Spacious property, by far the largest room we had during our trip to Japan. The facilities were clean and comfortable, but some furniture was a little dated. The location is about 15 minutes walk from Gion and the Nisiki Market, but not really accessible to a train station from walking distance with baggage.
Caution: This hotel (like all Kyoto hotels) collects an extra city tax at the time of check in. That tax is now well disclosed on Booking.com and they would only accept cash when we checked in. Be sure to communicate with the property to understand extra taxes before you arrive.

מלון דירות בוטיקי על שפת הנהר במיקום מעולה ליד מרכז העיר והשוק. 5 דק הליכה לתחנת אוטובוס קרובה ונוחה. הדירה יפהפיה, ענקית ונוחה עם מטבחון קטנטן אבל מאובזר. הצוות מקסים ודובר אנגלית ושמח לעזור. 2 מיטות זוגיות ופוטון. בטוחה שנחזור להתארח בה כשנגיע שוב לקיוטו.
אין ניקיון לחדר במהלך השהות, היינו 4 לילות וזה קצת חסר. מצד שני יש פינוי אשפה כל יום ואפשרות למגבות נקיות כל יום.
Beautiful hotel, the rooms were huge, not even just by Japan standards. The location was gorgeous, right on the river, plenty of local restaurants, cafes, bars etc in easy walking distance. The breakfast bento boxes were super tasty, and all the staff were really friendly and helpful. Had a lovely balance of modern and traditional styles.
The quantity of breakfast was a little on the small side, though what was there was great.
Beautiful surrondings close to Gion and Ponchato Alley is closeby. We enjoyed the views from our room with a river and montains at back ground. The location is perfect and away from the crowds and during night the area becomes even more beautiful with the street lights. We loved walking arround the hotel and it felt safe. Kyoto station is one stop away by train. There are 2 train stations located neary by and Bus stop is around 300m away. We were able to travel easily to other parts of Kyoto easily. Staffs were friendly and helpful.
Nothing to dislike
I really enjoyed my stay at the Kyoto Riverview House Kyoraku! The location is fantastic, on a quiet street next to a pretty little canal, but just a few minutes' walk to the busy downtown in one direction and historic Gion in the other direction, across the Kamo River. I stayed for six nights with two friends in the Superior Apartment, which had a view of our quiet street. We really appreciated the comfortable living room, with its table and couch, for relaxing in the evening after a day of adventures in beautiful Kyoto. My friends stayed in the bedroom with the double bed, and found it very comfortable, and I stayed in the bedroom with the tatami mats, and slept on the futon, and found that very comfortable. It was definitely the most comfortable futon I slept on while visiting Japan. We enjoyed the bathroom, with its spacious shower and bathtub, and appreciated how the apartment was very clean. The washing machine worked well and our clothes dried on the drying rack provided within about 24 hours (the washing machine has a drying cycle, but this is extremely slow, so the staff recommended that it would be faster to use the drying rack while running the dehumidifier nearby). Both the wifi and the air conditioning were reliable. The staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful. I highly recommend staying at this lovely place!
Be aware that the second bedroom, with the tatami mats, is part of the living room, with sliding wooden walls to separate it from the living room. The wooden walls are a series of wooden bars little gaps in between, so even with the walls closed, it is possible to see a little bit into the second bedroom from the living room, such that the second bedroom lacks the privacy of the main bedroom. This was fine for us, and I found this convertible second bedroom very fun and comfortable, but if you prefer a bedroom with solid walls, you might not like this.
L’emplacement est idéal, proche des transports et dans un environnement calme. Nous étions avec notre fille de 18 mois et la chambre séparée et la cuisine nous a été bien pratique. Un lit parapluie et une chaise haute nous a été mis à disposition.
Rien
The staff here went above and beyond. I made an error with our booking, but they accommodated us perfectly, securing an alternative room for the first night and handling the luggage transfer to our original room the next day. Compared to typical tight Tokyo accommodations, these units were quiet, incredibly spacious, and felt very safe with good security doors. Waking up to the refreshing river and mountain views was amazing, and having breakfast delivered to our room each morning was a great touch. Highly recommend!
Great location on a quiet street.
Small balcony but was as described
Modern, clean, comfortable with an amazing view.
Tolle Lage und für Japan extrem geräumig
Straße direkt gegenüber ziemlich laut. Ein Esstisch und Stühle wären gut gewesen
The view was incredible. Large rooms. Great location and amazing staff
Emplacement top, bel espace dans l’appartement. Personnel très sympathique et professionnel.
Petit déjeuner un peu décevant. Lits au sol un peu juste niveau confort mais c’est sûrement une histoire d’habitude.
Roomy apartment in the perfect location with friendly staff. What more can you ask for. Everything we needed was there.
Le personnel aux petits soins, la chambre absolument géniale pour une famille de 4 entre tradition et confort. Les équipements proposés en adéquation avec les besoins et quel emplacement ! A 2 pas du Gion 4 des grandes artères commerciales et à peine plus du Nishiki market. Cet endroit est au top 👌
Allez, pour vraiment chipoter le sèche-linge est un peu poussif mais est ce vraiment ce que l’on recherche dans une location ?
It was very clean, spacious, and in a great area. The staff were nice and helpful as well.
It felt a bit dated, and our key didn’t get us into the door at night so we had to keep asking a staff member to let us in.
Groot en mooi gelegen appartement op prima locatie. Vriendelijk personeel
Naast pannen ook een snijmes in de keuken toevoegen zodat je iets makkelijker iers kunt snijden om re koken
On the river, nice balcony.
地點非常好,面對鴨川,出門就是櫻花大道,超市也很近,到景點也很近,住得很舒服
櫻花季房價有點貴
Hotel staff were amazing, and the morning breakfasts were alright! Room itself was lackluster, and everything felt cheap. No room service, but at least you can pick towels from the main lobby whenever you want and emptying your combustibles/recycling was easy enough. But there was not a full mirror, no paper towels, no hooks/racks to place towels you just used, and everything felt a bit cheap. It was nice to have a couch in the hotel though.
Does not include a full mirror, no paper towels, no hooks/racks for used towels, everything felt cheap.
It was large, very clean and on a beautiful street lined with Cherry blossoms! The bed felt hard but I slept so well on it! It was nice to have a balcony to sit and view the river and mountains.

超級完美 早晨起床看到波光粼粼的鴨川領人心曠神怡 附的餐具廚具都非常棒 洗沐用品都不錯 長期住宿也有洗衣機兼烘衣功能 非常喜歡這裡
espacioso, ubicación inmejorable, personal amable
The views from the front of the building and the balcony were amazing. The amount of space you get is also quite comfortable.
Great location for restaurants, temples, and easy access to trains. The apartment had lovely furnishings and it was perfect to have extra space for a few days. Having a washing machine was a big bonus.
Estancia súper amplia, muy bonita, en muy buenas condiciones, muy cómoda y súper bien equipada, con todo lo necesario para vivir (casi como en casa). Tuvimos que recibir un paquete en el hotel y el personal se encargó de gestionarlo.
空間寬敞很大 設備齊全

Es war eine tolle Wohnung und wir waren sehr zu frieden. Das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit.
Great location. English speaking staff. This is a full apartment so you get lots of space and privacy. Great as a home base around the kyoto area as it has a washing machine. Hotel can have luggage forwarded to and staff will help forward luggage to your next stay, which helps a lot!
The clothes dryer ruined some of our clothes.
Great location with awesome restaurants, bars, cafes and vibes. The place was very big by Japan standards (and even generally). Staff were friendly and helpful. A great spot to stay!
Our room was very stylish, comfortable and spacious. We overlooked the river and had a lovely outdoor terrace in which to relax. The staff were friendly, and super helpful. This was our best stay whilst travelling around Japan!
Nothing. Everything was perfect.
Loved the layout of the superior suite and the combination of a bedroom and a tatami room. Great quiet street but close to many restaurants and walkable to sights.
The bathroom could use a few hooks or a towel rack. But no other feedback.
Few minutes away from multiple temples and near a beautiful river
部屋は広くて、清潔でした。
洗濯機の乾燥機能がイマイチ。
Erinomainen sijainti, ystävällinen ja avulias henkilökunta sekä tilava huoneisto. Kaikki toimi hyvin ja plussana vielä pesukone. Tämä oli oikea löytö!
깨끗하고 넓고 취사가능. 세탁기 사용해서 짐이 줄어든게 좋았습니다. 수건도 매일 마음껏 쓸수 있었어요.
5박이나 했는데 중간청소 없었고 청소하려면 1층로비에 있는 청소기 가져다가 직접 하라고 안내함?????!!!!!! 강변이라 뷰는 좋은데 위치는 살짝 애매합니다.
Good central location, everything we needed was there. It was a nice mix of traditional and modern style.
It was a little dated, I thought it was more modern. We didn’t have a view of the river.
Beautiful, cozy spot in walking distance / very well connected to most things we wanted to see. Perfect to relax and enjoy Kyoto.
No complains.
位置在鸭川边上,景色不错,设施一应俱全,周围餐厅,交通都很方便。
夏季周围蝉声比较吵,窗户隔音不是很理想
Friendly, helpful staff. Cleanliness. View
Noise (heavy footsteps) from upstairs guests walking around - quite a bit. Price is higher than average for comparable facility. No consideration given for stay of 7 days.
Location was great and staff were amazing.
excellent location with helpful staff at reasonable rates
Excellent staff
We stayed in six different hotels during our Japan stay and this was our favourite. A large apartment in an excellent location with very friendly and helpful employees.
NA
Fully self contained apartment with 2 beds. Although one bed was futon in living room. the location is excellent, walking distance to everything. Very nice breakfast delivered to the door each morning in a bento box
Very hard beds
Spacious and homely, very well located
The second bedroom didn’t have full walls, just wooden lattice, so our children were disturbed by the light in the living room / kitchen space.
Perfect location to city, sights and transport. Very spacious. Nice view of the river and ducks and turtles!
Pillows were uncomfortable.
Our stay was wonderful and we would definitely recommend and also stay again! This is our (my husband and I) 2nd trip to Kyoto and we loved staying here. For those who don't speak any Japanese, the front desk workers (8:30 am - 8:30 pm) speak english fluently. The front desk workers between 8:30pm and 8:30am speak only Japanese (when we were there) but if you need you can definitely use an translating app and you'll be fine. They will also hold you luggage until check in. They can also help arrange luggage transport services should you need. The location is very convenient we could easily walk to Gion, Ninenzaka, Nishiki market, and the Kawaramachi shopping area. Lots of dining options nearby as well. The kitchen and larger than usual refrigerator/freezer was so convenient to be able to shop a grocery stores and make food in room (especially for breakfast). They have condiment and cooking spices downstairs should you need any for your cooking. In room washer/dryer and drying rack to hang clothes is also extremely convenient. I would recommend booking a river view room as it is very nice and relaxing to sit on the balcony and watch the birds as well as people walking their dogs.
I didn't have any issues with anything during our stay. We had a wonderful stay and appreciate the workers who were courteous, helpful, and kind.
