Via Inn Prime Kyotoeki Hachijoguchi

★★★★★ - Outstanding Stay, Perfect Location & Exceptional Service I recently stayed at Via Inn Kyoto, and I can confidently say it was a perfect experience from start to finish. This hotel truly deserves a solid 5-star rating, as every aspect of my stay exceeded expectations. First and foremost, the location is unbeatable. It’s within easy walking distance of Kyoto Station, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city, catching trains to other destinations, or accessing local transport. Whether you’re here for business or leisure, the proximity to Kyoto Station makes traveling effortless. Additionally, one of the standout features is the 7/11 built into the adjoining hotel. This was a huge convenience, providing everything from snacks and drinks to quick meals and essentials—perfect for grabbing something on the go or winding down in the evening with a cold drink. The rooms were exceptionally well-maintained and cleaned daily to a high standard. The beds were comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep after a long day of sightseeing. The inclusion of a humidifier in the room was a thoughtful touch, especially considering Kyoto’s varying climate. Everything was designed with guest comfort in mind, from the cozy atmosphere to the practical amenities. The hotel’s lobby is beautifully designed, creating a welcoming first impression as soon as you step inside. The staff were fantastic—always greeting guests with a smile and more than happy to assist with any inquiries. Whether it was check-in, check-out, or general travel advice, they were professional, courteous, and genuinely helpful, making the stay even more enjoyable. Overall, Via Inn Kyoto provided an outstanding experience with zero complaints. The combination of location, comfort, cleanliness, and top-notch service makes it a perfect choice for anyone visiting Kyoto. I highly recommend this hotel to both leisure and business travelers and will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Superior location. It is right across the Kyoto Station, thus, you get excellent access to public transportation including the bullet train. There is a nice 7-eleven just on the ground floor of the hotel. Perfect to grab everything you need including delicious meals when you are super tired from your tours. The location is unbeatable. The rooms are also lovely and fairly large for the price.

The location was excellent - less than 5 min walk to Kyoto station There is shopping mall near by also less than 5 min walk - small Don Quixote, GU, and others The staff was excellent - they have facilities for storing/locking your luggage if you arrive before checkin time or if you are still in city after checkout. In the lobby they have area where you can take any extra room amenities you might need (tea, bathroom items, etc.) Also, when you don't have your room cleaned for the day - they still leave you a bag of clean towels hanging on the doorknob - that was a nice touch. The comforters were excellent on the bad - my wife and mother in law enjoyed them very much. There is a 7-11 attached to the hotel - they have their own entrance into the 7-11. You don't even have to go outside hotel to get there - that was cool. They have multiple floors with laundry facilities (washer/dryer combo, not separate machines) - I like these very much b/c you put in a PIN code to lock the washer/dryer so no one can touch your clothes until you unlock it.

Excellent location being a few hundred metres away from Kyoto Station, making it easy to reach the Shinkansen as well as for basing yourself for day trips around. The room was suitably sized for Japanese standards, with a bidet toilet and shower bathtub combo. Being close to the main transport hub, it was surprisingly quiet in the room. All amenities are collected from the ground floor which you can always restock if needed. The TV is also chromecast enabled which is awesome.

- Fabric refresher spray and anti-frog sectuon of bathroom mirror are excellent ideas! - Excellent location. If the pick-up location for your tour is Tully's Coffee, this hotel is so close. And close proximity to Kyoto station is a true time-saver in going anywhere or going to the Kansai airport. - Having a convenience store in this building is a game changer! There is no need to go out to find one, because it is already in the building. You will find this very convenient.
