Moxy Kyoto (Kyoto Prefecture, Japan) 1 Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"Moxy Kyoto Nijo, with its youthful, modern design and its playful, irreverent atmosphere, may be an unusual fit for this deeply historic city — but look closely at the thoughtfully crafted details of its artwork and interior design and you’ll find it’s as carefully tailored to its setting, in its own way, as any retro-styled ryokan. Of course, at this budget-conscious price point, it’s not pretending to offer anything like the luxe tranquility of a ryokan experience; Moxy’s guests appreciate modern touches like 50-inch televisions and a casual bar and all-day restaurant featuring occasional DJ sets." - Tablet Hotels

The room is huge compare to other hotels out there and I super love the comfy bed and pillow. Moxy also never fail to make their small little room packed with lots of hooks so that during winter everyone can nicely put up their coat and all necessary things on it. Suggest to have little more small accessories on front desk such as HDMI to HDMI cable for loan to guest as sometimes the screen cast doesn't work so at least some options for guest to have comfort stay by watching TV together with their family.

We really enjoyed our 3-night stay at this Marriott hotel. The location is just right, with the JR train station (Nijo) conveniently located across the street. The property has a modern vibe, and our rooms were clean, stylish, and well maintained. The staff was helpful and spoke English, which made everything easy. Breakfast offered a good variety, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. Overall, well worth the stay!

I love this hotel! Moxy is about 5 mins walk to the Nijo Train station which makes it a perfect location for strolling around. Restaurants and konbini are also accessible, Lawson and 711 just 3 mins walk, 711 un the Nijo station and lots of food options around. We checkedin for 2 rooms but the otger one is not available yet so we had to place all our luggages in 1 room. There are English speakers in the reception area. This is a boutique hotel and it has cool interuor deaigns. The ground floor serves as bar and restaurant and it is 24 hours so u wont get hungry anytime. The rooms were very clean and I like the design, very funky. They also had laundry area and plenty of space if you want to work, chill and read in the ground floor. I will defnitely come back here!

Really enjoyed my stay at the Moxy Kyoto. Room was spacious and modern and the bathroom was fantastic with a lovely walk in shower. The vibe of the place was really nice and staff were friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed the food served in the evening which you order at the bar and then get a buzzer to tell you when it’s ready. We got a voucher for a free drink which was a nice touch but the included mocktails were laughably tiny. Other drinks from the bar were good and reasonably priced too. My only criticism is the breakfast - items just weren’t replaced and a lot of times there was no food. For example at 8am there was no yogurt, fruit or hot items. We were told they had no more yogurt, which seems poor stock management. Our tour manager mentioned this to staff on day 2 and it did get a little better but main items still ran out and were not replaced

Service was great. No issues to mention. 24/7 bar with cozy downstairs nice to have. Great location a distance from busy areas in Kyoto, but with easy access to Nijo station across the street. Incredible ramen shop next door.

Moved my stay at the Moxy. The staff was amazing and really made us feel welcomed for our 9day stay. The food was delicious as me and my friend are both pretty introverted we spent a lot of time in the lobby. Also made it very easy to help us transport our luggage from the hotel to the airport. We were honestly sad to leave. Would definitely recommend for your stay. Also being across the street from the train station was very convenient.

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.

I didn’t stay at the hotel but went in to ask for directions. The staff was extremely helpful and the manager even walked me out to exactly where I needed to be (about 20 steps away but I mur have looked very lost and confused to him). Because of their great hospitality and helpfulness, I would definitely stay or dine at this hotel on my next visit to Kyoto.

Maintaining impeccable standards, this Moxy is definitely a place to stay when you are in Kyoto. Super conveniently located just steps from Kyoto Station, it's in a great location, surrounded by restaurants and also convenience stores. I would absolutely stay here again, the only ask is, That they step up their breakfast bar/game. After all it is Japan and the bar is set a lot higher, so an American standard style breakfast in traditional Marriott fashion falls short of par. It might be a little more expensive, but easy to fix. Hopefully This can be done and then you would have a perfect stay. That said still a five star experience well done Moxy.

I stayed here twice within a week for two-night stays. Located within 5 minutes walking distance to the Nijo metro, it was convenient. The staff was friendly and helpful especially when it came to forwarding our luggage back to Tokyo, storing our luggage for 3 days and suggesting places to eat by the hotel. The room was on the small side but had all the amenities needed for a good night's rest. The only con I experienced was the breakfast which was disappointing especially for being in the Marriott family. I attended once and dined elsewhere the other days. Hopefully they'll resolve this soon.

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。

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.

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
