Good Nature Hotel Kyoto

GOOD NATURE HOTEL KYOTO is conveniently located very close to Takashimaya and within easy walking distance of both Kyoto Kawaramachi Station and Gion-Shijo Station. Nishiki Market is also nearby, and the surrounding area is filled with department stores and drugstores, making it highly convenient for daily needs. The room was very clean and quiet, with little to no noise, allowing for a peaceful stay. There is also a small convenience store on the ground floor, making it easy to buy snacks or anything you might need.

friendly staff on check in was greeted with fruit and a drink. we were also given a room upgrade which was a fantastic surprise. the room we had included lounge access which we used every night each night there were drinks and snacks available. it was very quiet and charming which made for a nice relaxing environment. the hotel had everything we could need and more we never left in the evenings there's access to at least 2 restaurants i remember 2 cafes a gym the lounge for certain rooms it gives direct access to a shopping mall and very close to train stations id 100% stay here again

A total surprise find that I accidentally stumbled upon whilst searching on the internet! Nothing palatial, opulent and lavish here, just simple and tasteful refinement, appealing and gorgeous! Besides its convenient location next to a major metro-train station and Takashimaya department store and a short walk to the popular GION district. The welcoming ZEN vibe of this environmentally friendly and sustainable hotel, with its jaw-dropping, multi-story high ‘Green Atrium Wall ‘, covered with flowing hanging plants offers a calming, tranquil and serene surrounding and setting. Now, I can visualize what the Hanging Garden of Babylon was like! Ha! The super-spacious, well appointed, contemporary decorated room was designed to make the guests feel at home. A few Michelin rated restaurants with high Tabelog rating plus a fine bakery and mini organic super market also adorn the premise!......the organic ice creams sold in the latter were most tempting and interesting! All in all a solid 4*+ rating....highly recommended! If only the TV would provide more western, news, business and sports channels, then our stay would have been perfect!

Absolutely amazing hotel. We have just enjoyed 14 fabulous nights in one of their spacious, beautifully appointed suites on the top floor, where they even provide you with fresh pyjamas each night. The hotel is centrally located with a 5 minute ride to Kyoto's main rail station which offers the Shinkasen (bullet train) to both north and south of Japan. Buses are also frequent and seem to go everywhere. The hotel is very green, natural and eco friendly, so it's no surprise all the produce is organic and ethically sourced. The rooms and suites have a Bose Bluetooth speaker, Smart TV, iron, safe a Toto (big plus) and glass that separates the bedroom and shower room that frosts over at the touch of a button. Genius. Our suite had a beautiful wooden, Japanese style balcony with outside seating overlooking greenery and the city of Kyoto. Service is out of this world, nothing is too much effort and we were welcomed in the most hospitable Japanese way. You could also eat your dinner off every surface, including the floor, it is so clean. We ate in 2 of the 6 restaurants/cafes the hotel has, which range from local Japanese, to Italian. Again, food and service was exemplary. I highly recommend the counter at Buonagio where the Michelin starred chef cooks in front of you to absolute perfection. Breakfast is plentiful, with many choices from around the world. Again, staff are just amazingly courteous and respectful. We couldn't have wished for a lovelier hotel than the Good Nature Hotel visiting Japan for the first time. Put this hotel at the top of your list if you're considering visiting Kyoto. We now can't wait to return from the not so sunny London. Thank you (arigatou gozaimasu) Good Nature Hotel.

The hotel is really accessible, especially for us coming from Osaka. We could hop on the special Hankyu Garaku train and reach Kyoto Kawaramachi station directly.The room was spacious: the modular sofa area was a nice spot to chill and the controls via the tablet were convenient and also fun to explore. The bed and most importantly pillows were of the right firmness and kept me warm and comfortable while I was suffering from a terrible flu during my stay.Be prepared to bring your own amenities (toothpaste/brush, face products, hair caps, etc), as the hotel is eco-conscious and do not provide them freely unlike other Japanese hotels that might display them at the concierge.Oh and by a stroke of good luck, there was a morning meditation session we could attend on our last morning and we thoroughly enjoyed and healed from it! Would love to revisit and stay at Good Nature again.

This hotel is beautifully designed and perfectly located for a wonderful stay in Kyoto. There are several restaurants to choose from as well as small market located on the ground floor. In addition, there is a small shopping area, cafe, spa, and lounge on the 3rd floor (though I believe lounge access only comes with selected rooms.) Our room was spacious and we had everything we needed (except, perhaps, for places to store our clothes...but that seems par for the course in Japan.) The staff was lovely as well. Would definitely return.

We left the hotel a week ago, but the memory is still vivid and wonderful. The wooden and brass details throughout the hotel give the whole place a warm and cozy vibe. The staff were just as warm—friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. We really appreciated how they made the check-in process completely stress-free, even though we had separate bookings for multiple rooms. Our rooms were very comfortable and extremely clean, and the small surprises prepared for our special celebration were genuinely touching. We also loved the convenience of the location. You can easily walk to the Gion area, stroll along the river, and public transport is right around the corner. We especially want to mention how vegetarian and vegan friendly everything was, from the breakfast to the hotel’s supermarket and restaurants. That was a huge plus for us : ) Many thanks to all the staff for making our stay so lovely and memorable.

This hotel was such a great find. Excellent location & room was perfect for family of four (from Australia) with two teenagers without having to book two hotel rooms. The bed layout for four people was thoughtful (we didn’t feel crammed together) & beds were a good size. Room still had plenty of room for luggage. Bathroom was clean & modern. Would definitely stay again.
