Dhawa Yura Kyoto - Banyan Group

Our 3 day stay at the Dhawa Yura Kyoto, was excellent. When we wanted to go to tourist locations the staff had a drawer full of detailed information in our language, they provided making every excursion including bus and train times and locations, easily manageable. The open common areas were even more favourably highlighted by the bamboo stand growing from the lower ground floor up to the ground floor sunlit ceiling. The very competent multi lingual (particularly English) staff at reception created a nice flurry in assisting everyone very promptly. They provided larger currency note breakdowns for commuting etc,.Their breakfasts were to die for, with the chefs providing personal service to all guests, the tea and coffee breakout room was great and being next to reception, as thoughts came to mind, the eager staff were on hand. Our room was spotless, the proximity to trains, buses and the main street were all within an enjoyable short walking distance, the Wi-fi and charging points for all our battery stuff (including mobile phones), and the little section near the window for an extra suitcase was brilliant.My wife commented on the slippers and quality of the bathroom personal items, you know like shampoo conditioner etc,. And the bath robes and towels were a good size.The fridge was cold with space to store your own cold goodies and the tea and coffee room facilities, good as well. They sent our luggage to our room on arrival and timely organised our cab on departure. The bill was exactly the sa.e as they had quoted us more than 6 months previously. This place just has to be on your list of most enjoyable stopovers.

The hotel was in an excellent location - close to shops, bars and restaurants, and right by a subway and train station so very convenient. The room was nicely decorated and the bathroom was very nice.

The property location is perfect to explore by foot the Gion area. You can rent a little bicycle (extra charge) Room was nice and clean and well finished, there was also a tatami area perform to chill with a cup of tea. room size a bit small, but ok if we kept the suitcases closed. staff was kind and helpful. there is free tea/coffee area near the reception. nice bar

Hotel was amazing and I liked absolutely everything from the hotel itself to our beautiful, super cosy extra extra large bed!! This was the star of the stay!. Great check in, lovely staff in the bar/restaurant - food offerings and drinks very nice. Loved the complimentary coffee/tea/flavoured water and snacks in the guest lounge - so nice after a long day out touring. Beautiful Japanese ambience right as you step in the hotel with lovely bamboo forest to greet you. Super nice. And great location to all the tradition Japanese streets and quaint restaurants.

Location great 2 minute walk from Sanjo Keihan station. Lovely modern hotel, impressive foyer. Room very comfortable, spacious shower, espresso machine, slippers, pyjamas, dressing gown. They also served complimentary hot drinks near reception so we would avail ourselves of these plus the free sweets / snacks. Staff lovely, spoke good English and were helpful. Loved the area, close to the river and station, lots of cafes and restaurants on your doorstep. Short walk to main shopping areas and Nishiki market.
