Soraniwa Terrace Kyoto Bettei

Hotel location is good, Takashiyama department store is just cross the street. It's a small hotel, and not easily found. On ground floor lobby, they will have a simple check of documents. Afterwards, a staff will bring us to 9th floor reception area for check in. We were served with a cup of tea and sweets while waiting. After the check in, another staff will escort us to have a tour around the hotel and our room. Room is spacious with private Onsen. Though room's city view is fair only, the main selling point is the open-air onsen. The private open-air onsen is great and very comfortable. The fridge in our room has many free drinks including wine and beer. Unexpectedly, we could see the sunrise from our room. The Japanese breakfast is delicate and good. Everything is good except the bed mattress is too soft for us. 9th floor reception floor has a nice view, two public hot springs are located on this floor. This floor serves with free coffee and drinks and ice cream bars. It’s surprising that besides the hotel front entrance, there is a secret side door, no need to pass through the lobby counter, like a private entrance with a sense of privilege.

Everything is just too ******* good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I recently stayed at Soraniwa Terrace in Kyoto, and it was an unforgettable experience! The serene atmosphere and stunning views created a perfect retreat. The service was top-notch, with staff who were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring every need was met. My room featured a personal onsen that was simply amazing, providing the ultimate relaxation after a day of exploring. The on-site dining offered exquisite local cuisine, making every meal a delight. The location is ideal for discovering Kyoto's cultural treasures. I highly recommend Soraniwa Terrace for anyone seeking tranquility and luxury. A true gem that deserves a five-star rating!

Hotel was more than expected, everything was perfect!! wish we stayed in Kyoto longer.

Excellent location, walking distance to shopping hub, very nice rooftop bar

Absolutely beautiful room, with exceptional service and location. Highly recommend the suites with the private onsen. Will be returning soon.
