Tomoya Residence Hotel Kyoto

A quiet & luxurious 2 bedroom apartment in a middle class area of Kyoto. A pleasant 10 min walk to nearest subway station Karasuma-Oike, then only 3 subway stops to Kyoto station. Plenty of small local restaurants in nearby streets and several patisserie bakeries. There is also a Family Mart convenience store a 5 minute walk from this hotel. The apartment was very clean, the beds so soft and the pillows were like clouds. All the toiletries were deluxe, the shower was absolutely amazing and the kitchenette was equipped with a microwave, a Nespresso Coffee Pod machine and beautiful a Mikassa porcelain tea-set plus a fine selection of teabags. Cutlery and dinnerware also provided. The washing machine & dryer in a seperate laundry within our apartment were excellent.So good to be able to do all our washing and dry it also. The breakfasts are delivered to your apartment each morning at a time you chose between 7-9am. They are delicious and so beautifully presented ( see photos) The reception staff at Tomoya Residence Hotel are excellent. Very helpful, nothing is too difficult for them. They even helped me track down my wallet that was left in the backseat of a taxi. They called the taxi company for me and arranged for my wallet to be delivered back to me in person back at hotel. I was so thankful for their help🙂

Located on a quiet street but close to subway stops & easy access to shops, etc. Several restaurants & a cheese cake shop within 5 mins walking. The room had everything we needed & the configuration with a living area was very useful when travelling with a child. The front desk was exceptional - they called several restaurants to help us with reservations as many places were closed due to New Years. They even helped us to get to an ER when someone in our party fell sick. Really above & beyond hospitality.

My family and I stayed here for five days. We had an amazing time. It has a great location; far enough away from the main attraction sites to provide peace and quiet, just a few blocks from major subway stop that gives you access to everything. I can remember three 7-11s within a five minute walk . Restaurants are everywhere, including a small hidden Ramen place right across the street. The staff were terrific and very welcoming. English-speaking only was not a problem at all. I highly recommend the breakfast and for those more adventurous the Japanese style breakfast was terrific.

The reception staff who were so helpful with everything including luggage transfers. Our apartment was very clean and well equipped stylish. It had absolutely everything you could want. We stayed in the two bedroom apartment even though we were only one couple. The second bedroom is a small tatami room. The espresso machine and the incredible bathroom (3 rooms - dounle basins, shower and bath room and very flash toilet. The fact you could open the windows. so much space and storage.

Loved the concierge service and friendliness of the staff there! Theresa was so friendly and helpful! Staff made us feel well taken care of. The suite was large and the washer/dryer, microwave, fridge and kitchenware were game changers for us having been on a 3 week trip to Japan.
