The staff was so kind, very helpful, the food was amazing (highly recommend adding the Japanese breakfast to your booking) and the room was the perfect blend of western and Japanese style (creature comforts considered). This has been the best hotel I’ve stayed at in Japan! I would re-book and recommend over and over again! Bonus, there is a train stop less than 2 minutes (walk) away! This made moving around the city very convenient.

The room was a little cramped with the pillar in the middle and little natural light, but otherwise was fine for a short stay.

Generally a pleasent stay at Rakuro. Service staff was very helpful in helping to call clinics, hospitals and even drug stores when my son was feeling unwell. Thumbs up for that. Location was fantastic too. Buses that goes to the tourist attractions, train station was just 2mins walk away and walking distance to a local supermarket, combinis and eateries.

RAKURO offers a unique reformed traditional Japanese tatami-style rooms by raising the sleeping area higher. The room is spacious and impeccable. Separating the bathroom from the bedroom is also rarely seen. The hotel’s lounge is its highlight that offers herbal tea, sofas and a round-shaped window to see the outside alley. RAKURO’s architectural style embodies the vibes of Kyoto - a perfect blending of the modern minimalism and the traditional Japanese. It’s also conveniently located with the imperial garden across the street and a subway station just by the corner.

The facilities and staff at the hotel were great. However, the in room WiFi signal was weak during our stay and there were sticky brown stains all over the carpet in our room. The property and room were also very hot and stuffy and we could not adjust the thermostat. Had to keep the windows open.

We enjoyed our stay at Rakuro Kyoto. It was quiet and peaceful and had a very nice vibe. The rooms were on the smaller side, but had great amenities. The bathroom was clean and modern, but we hadn’t realised that we had booked a room with a private bathroom external to the room itself - that took a bit of getting used to, but was really fine. The hotel has a very beautiful guest lounge and botanical lab which was the highlight of our stay.

The staff were amazing and the rooms were bigger in Japanese standards. It's conveniently located near train and bus stop. It is 3 min walk to the nearest train station and within walking distance to Imperial palace garden and Nijo Castle.

The lobby, cafe, and guest lounge are all very aesthetically pleasing. However, the rooms are definitely more function over form. Beware of the rooms and the sizing to make sure you know what you are in for - the standard rooms are incredibly tiny and you can’t reasonably access your check-in sized suitcase without causing a trip hazard. Though the train station is conveniently steps away, there’s not much within walking distance that is on a typical top rated list or popular with tourists. The biggest turn offs were the cleanliness and comfort. Expect very firm beds, low quality beaded pillows, and stain riddled carpeting and upholstery.
