Hotel Traveltine Kyoto Kiyamachi

Location: The hotel is at the southeastern end of the bustling area of the west bank of the river. I would say that the lively part of Kyoto on the west bank is roughly a rectangle that starts about 200 meters north of the hotel, measuring 2 kilometers north and about 500 meters west. Hotel: The hotel itself is small and without special facilities. A lobby where you can sit around round tables, where breakfast is also served, minimal continental, but for me sufficient. In the lobby there is a coffee machine, tea and juices that can be used at all hours of the day. Staff: The hotel staff is very friendly Rooms: The room we took is called a superior double. The size is sufficient, although another 2 square meters would have been very helpful. There is no storage space in the room, things are hung on hooks. There is a sofa, a chair and a small round table in the room. The shower is spacious and luxurious. The bed is queen size and the mattress is very good. Overall, a very good room.

We arrived at our hotel in Kyoto and were very happy with the location—it’s in a great area, away from the noise but still within walking distance to many attractions. There’s also a convenient bus and train station nearby, which made getting around super easy. The rooms were just right—not too big, but definitely not too small either. Comfortable, clean, and well-equipped. The service really stood out: the staff was exceptionally polite, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We felt very well taken care of and enjoyed our stay a lot. Highly recommended!

I stayed at Hotel Traveltine Kyoto for 4 days and had a wonderful experience. The hospitality was warm and welcoming from the moment I arrived. The staff were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help with anything I needed. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring Kyoto. The overall service exceeded my expectations and made my stay truly enjoyable. Thank you to the team at Hotel Traveltine for making my visit so pleasant. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kyoto and would definitely love to stay here again!

Amazing hotel! The staff are incredibly nice and helpful, the rooms are spacious and very soundproofed so we didn’t hear any road noise at all. We didn’t have any Dyson hairdryers in our room and there are no more bikes on site for use anymore. The location is amazing, it’s walkable to so many popular locations in Kyoto. This is probably our favourite hotel for this trip based on cost to value! We will definitely be back :)

I was very glad I booked my stay in Kyoto here in this hotel, I was very stressed about where to stay in Japan since I’ve heard so much that it’s not a tattoo friendly place. When I got here I was super excited about the warm welcome, the friendliness of the receptionists, going above and beyond sharing their favorite sushi restaurant when I asked them where is their favorite place! The room was spacious, gorgeous view, super clean, delicious snacks, coffee machine and delicious breakfast.

Great location, 15 minutes down the road from the busy main streets but so quiet and peaceful! Very close to the river for morning walks. The rooms were really lovely, comfy beds, and the service was excellent. There was even a small complimentary breakfast laid out for guests in the morning. Couldn't recommend this hotel more. Don't hesitate to book!

Best hotel we stayed at during our 2-week honeymoon in Japan. Out of all the places we booked (all with special notes mentioning it was our honeymoon), Traveltine was the only one that truly made us feel special. They reserved a beautiful corner room on the top floor (level 10) with great views, a small table, and a couch. At check-in, the receptionist took a Polaroid photo of us, which was later delivered to our room along with a handwritten postcard signed by the team, such a thoughtful touch! The hotel also has a lovely lounge where you can enjoy free orange juice, cold water, and coffee. Our room was spacious, clean, and had daily room service, plus a proper bath to relax in. It might be a bit more expensive compared to other stays, but it’s absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!

An overall very good experience at the hotel Traveltine in Kyoto. The hospitality was genuine and friendly. We were lucky enough to be introduced to origami by one of the staff member shorter after arriving in the lobby. It was my girlfriend's birthday and they left us a lovely note in the room and took our photos with a Polaroid when we first checked-in as a nice souvenir and intention. The only thing I would like to mention is that the items for breakfast are very limited, a few pastries are available. So I would recommend to go a convenient store the night before to ensure you have something that will fuel you for the day.
