Moxy Kyoto

The stay was amazing! 3 minutes walk from the station, spacious rooms, amazing service and a quiet area that is still close to everything. They have a great bar and also host events like free massages and DJ. Hiro was super helpful and made us feel like we are staying in a 5 star hotel. We stayed twice during our stay and felt like we came back home for the second stay. We will definitely recommend staying at the Moxy again and look forward to come back.

The rooms are TINY. For two people, you could barely have room to manoeuvre around let alone have suitcases open all the time. The breakfast menu was very limited and the only hot food was pasta and meatballs. The model where the same people manning the checkout desk and attending to the bar is pretty inefficient in my opinion as their attention is pretty divided and guests have to be especially empathetic to their situation and be patient. That said, special shout out to Hiro (I hope I got that correctly) who went above and beyond in helping us locate a missing bag that hadn’t been delivered from Tokyo. Thank you.

Enjoyed our stay here, the rooms felt big and comfortable compared to other accommodations we stayed at in Japan. Location was also great , close to a train station and many restaurants in walking distance. Would definitely stay again if in Kyoto.

Very close to station. Modern vibe. Great employees. Allowed us to store our luggage until time to check- in. Love the laundry room in the basement and fun atmosphere of the bar. Food was great. Rooms small but good sized for Japan.

Its near the station, although most of Kyoto you need to ride a bike or get a taxi. The rooms are small by western standards with almost no room for luggage. Staff was generally nice. The hotel is loaded with suitcases, tour groups and people in the lobby, has a very hostel feel to it.

Great option in Kyoto! Continently located near the JR train and the bus stop. They were very accommodating and even had phone chargers available for us when our luggage transfer was delayed. During our 4 night stay, there were 2 large tour groups that often took up most of the space in the lobby and restaurant. However, we were mostly just in the hotel for sleeping at night so it wasn’t a huge deal. Rooms are very small, as is typical for Japan. Would stay here again!

I wouldn't rate this location for 1st time visitors to Kyoto. Although close to a subway, it's better for tourist to be closer to Kiyomizu dera Temple. The hotel is fairly basic with very small rooms. Not idea if you more than 1 person. Breakfast very limited. Hotel more suited for single vs couples

The hotel has a very pleasant atmosphere upon entry, with a stylish and inviting lounge area featuring games, a Nintendo console, and a bar. The spacious rooms maintain this appealing theme, incorporating modern amenities and décor. We chose a room away from the main road due to some noise. The air conditioning only cooled to 19 degrees Celsius, which was insufficient on warmer days. The gym was excellent, though the photos didn't show the punching bag and Olympic rings; it's well-suited for strength training. The laundry facilities were convenient, costing 600 yen, although our clothes were slightly damp afterward. Our only negative experience was breakfast; it was served in the same area as the entrance lobby with open seating, and the simple food selection felt somewhat basic, resembling a hostel. Overall, it's a good hotel, conveniently located opposite the train station and a 7-Eleven, and near a bus stop. I would happily stay there again.

Stayed here last night. Nice, clean hotel . Average hotel. Moderately priced. Do not expect any high end services. Rooms were small. Breakfast was modest Staff was friendly and very helpful Very close to Nijo station, literally 3 min walk

Nice and clean space. Room was a little small but I'm only 1 person so it worked. Provided pajamas to use during the stay. Was super close to Nijo station so super convenient. Was a short walk to Nijo Castle as well. Staff was very friendly and spoke good English. They were very helpful with any questions I had about the area and where to find more Cherry Blossoms. The bar was a cool casual vibe. They even had an old video game system in the corner you could play. Seemed like a hip place for younger people to hang out. They did offer shipping your luggage to your next hotel as well. Next time I would do that if I planned better.

Date of stay: 11/29 & 11/30 I only recently discovered this boutique hotel and loving it so far! I stayed in a Moxy in Osaka and decided to try another one in Kyoto as well. Great price, conveniently located near Nijo station, spacious and clean with a very cute space-maximizing interior designed room are the pluses why you should def consider Moxy for your visit in Kyoto.

Enjoyed our stay here while in Kyoto. I've found the quality of Moxy hotels to be reliable and with their price point, I've stayed at a few of them in different countries. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful and the food options available were very good. ホテルは快適で、食事も美味しかった。

Literal gem!! So affordable and very modern and comfortable. Very large for an Asian hotel room. 10/10 would stay at ANY Moxy hotel again. Very friendly staff and centrally located next to train station to easily get around and explore!

What a great boutique hotel. Located just across the street from the Nijo Train Station, this hotel boasts large rooms (especially by Japanese standards), with a small refrigerator, coffee and tea bar with a hot water kettle, and laundry service. The small restaurant downstairs offers decent room service, but there are plenty of good restaurants in the area, including two ample grocery stores, all of which are within a block or two walking distance. Once you check in, you'll also receive complimentary drinks at the bar for each guest. On weekends, the small bar area has a DJ and it's a lively environment for such a little space. The location is perfect. No matter the weather, you're just a short walk across the street to the Nijo Train Station. This leaves you within minutes of Kyoto proper and a short ride from Osaka. Everything is very accessible and eliminates long commutes to get to your destination. The staff is polite and kind, and very helpful if you have questions!

I absolutely loved this boutique hotel in Kyoto. It's a small hotel with even smaller rooms. But what they lack in space they make up in personality and service. When you enter, you're in one large space that serves as the check in, lobby, bar, and dining area all in one. Sounds cheesy but it's very well done. The spaces are all so fun and functional. The room was really small (compared to what I'm used to) but has everything you need. There's a laundry room in the basement and the bar is open 24 hours - which is simple awesome. The hotel is also very close to a train station so the location is perfect. The food which is not extensive in variety was pretty good. There's a self service part and prepared foods get served to you. Breakfast consists of a small buffet but I believe you can order items as well. Overall I enjoyed my stay here and would recommend to everyone. However if you're a large family, you may be a bit cramped.

This Moxy had it all: great location, across the street and half a block from the Nijo train station; comfortable rooms which are small by US standards but spacious by Japan's; laundry; and dining/coffee/cocktail space. We started our Japan trip in Kyoto and this was our first multi-night location. The design was charming. The staff was helpful, friendly and as cool as the location. The dining was open late and the front desk staff were also your barista or bartender depending on time of day. The common areas were very cool and I loved that I could borrow an umbrella from the hotel rather than have to purchase on a rainy day. Oh and because it was rainy, we were impressed that our room HVAC had a "dry" mode. The bathroom was a good size and had a fancy Japanese toilet (with English instructions). Would definitely recommend!

The decision to stay at the Moxy Kyoto Nijo was a last minute one. We had booked an alternate hotel but decided to utilize my Marriott Gold Status at the Moxy. Using points, I offset the price of our 2-night stay. I also let them know we were celebrating a birthday and anniversary which they surprised us with a hand written greeting on the room's mirror. They also gave us an extra round of "welcome drinks" at the bar aka hotel desk. The hotel is located near the JR Nijo Station down the street from Nijo Castle. We had transferred from Kyoto Station via the Shinkansen from Tokyo. The hotel is rather new and very hipster. The check in desk and bar is open 24 hours. It's a cute boutique hotel with loads of amenities. Our view wasn't the greatest but we had a lovely rain shower, Toto automatic toilet/bidet, comfy Queen sized bed, small fridge, free water upon request, clean pajamas, and lots of electrical outlets. They also had a laundry center that we didn't use. Let me just say, the welcome cocktails are kind of small so order the beer or wine instead to get a decent pour. We didn't have complimentary breakfast at this hotel so we opted to go out into the city for our meals and snacks. However, they did let us use the espresso machine which put out a fairly good cup of coffee or cappuccino depending on your desire. As we were close the Nijo Castle, we walked visited the castle. The hotel is close to the train that takes you to the bamboo forest as well. Just down the street is a shopping street and local supermarket where you can pick up fresh fruit. Since we were centrally located in Kyoto, we made a quick trip over to Osaka on our first evening there. Just know that the trains stop after a certain hour so don't stay out too late in a different city without a way to get back. We were lucky in that we made our way back on one of the last trains out of Osaka back. While there, we also visited Nishiki which was a good ways away so take the subway or bus because our walk back in the afternoon was long and a bit exhausting. Check out was also smooth. The staff we encountered were great. We had a good stay at the Moxy and definitely would stay again.

Great property right off the train line. Super friendly staff made check-in easy. Lots of cool decor in the lobby and elsewhere. Rooms were very nice with free water (always a plus), good space, small fridge, and coffee bar. I loved the shower pressure and heat. Great option if the location meets your needs.

Moxy is Marriott's newest " economy lifestyle brand " . The lobby was chic and modern and felt airy . There was a fun full-size bar , where complimentary cocktails were served . They had a coffee bar and a small area to purchase snacks. The staff were helpful and friendly , answering all questions we had . The hotel was a very short walk from the train station . The rooms weren't large , but that seems like the theme for many Japanese hotels . What they were was super cool ! They are sleek , modern and clean ! I would book the Moxy again and again

Great hotel located close to multiple train stations, the bus, a mall and a lot of local eats and necessities. Close train ride to the Bamboo Forrest and other highly visited shrines. This hotel has a lot of amenities in the room, as well as games and other things to do. We also received complimentary drink tickets. Once of the best experiences I've had in a hotel so far. Would highly recommend. There was also free coffee which is

I loved staying here for two nights. It is very similar to all the other Moxy's. The best part about this hotel was the location. There is a train station super close by. Also, the bar is open 24 hours which is a bonus.

If you are traveling to Kyoto, this hotel is by far the best place to stay! The Staff, support, food, drinks and service are immaculate! The rooms are NYC size but the inviting lobby/bar area and staff make up for that 100%. I adore the whole staff! LOVE! They have laundry and an amazing gym as well! Amazing housekeeping too! I forgot to mention, our children stayed in a different room on the same floor, and were treated with such care and kindness! They are well behaved but def escaped to the ice cream fridge and lobby without judgement and worry on my part to which I'm so thankful, grateful, and blessed! Thanks Moxy! 10/10
