Shijo Kawaramachi Onsen Sora Niwa Terrace Kyoto

Amazing location with easy access to popular attractions, shops, and restaurants. The staff provided excellent customer service, friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. The rooftop offers a stunning view, perfect for relaxing in the evening. The room itself was spotless, and well-equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay, including toiletries, a mini fridge, and cozy bedding. Overall, a wonderful experience that made the trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

My wife and I stayed here in April. We had a wonderful time during our stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and made us feel welcome. Our room was spacious and beautiful with a great view, and a well-stocked minibar. The highlight was the private onsen on the balcony which was very warm and relaxing after a day of exploring Kyoto. The rooftop bar provided spectacular views of the city and surrounds, with great options of sitting near a warm fire or dipping our feet in the water from the hot springs. The hotel is close to bars, restaurants and other great places. We can’t wait to come back some day!

This hotel has a beautiful boutique feel! In a great location with fantastic amenities including a rooftop terrace and onsen. The room felt very lush with lots of thoughtful touches, including the toiletries and tea and coffee facilities provided. Great view out the window from our room also!

We had a really wonderful and relaxing stay here. The spa was definitely a special experience and a highlight here at this hotel. The rooftop has a panoramic view of Gion district and the mountains. They offer free drink to hotel guest in the afternoon so it’s nice to enjoy the drink after a long day. The staff here are super friendly and helpful.

Room a little on the small side but we loved the location and amenities. So close to so many shops, sites, and public transport - it made travel a lot less stressful. I personally used the in-hotel onsen every night at midnight (it closes at 1am!) to wind down after a long day at late night. Toiletries (lotions, toothpaste, razors) provided were surprisingly great too! And I had an iced matcha coffee latte from the reception every day before heading out :)

Delightful hotel. The rooms are small but very stylishly done. The highlight is the onsen/hot baths, which are separated for men and women. The facilities are identical and they rotate them each day because the views are slightly different. The rooms are (of course) very clean and you get fresh spa robes each day. The staff were lovely, super helpful. Great location, three minutes from the super busy parts of Kyoto. Have already recommended to a friend.

The rooms were cozy and exquisitely designed, with a very comfortable bed and pillows. I sat out on the rooftop terrace every day and enjoyed the amazing view of eastern Kyoto. The popsicles and coffee machine (I loved the matcha latte) were really nice amenities. The staff was so friendly and the location was ideal for all the temples on the east side, with the subway only a short walk away.

My two-night stay at Soraniwa Terrace Kyoto Bettei was truly delightful. This charming hotel offered an elegant blend of traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern comfort. My room was serene, beautifully designed, and immaculately clean. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Breakfast featured delicious local specialties, enhancing the authentic Kyoto experience. I highly recommend Soraniwa Terrace Kyoto Bettei for a peaceful and memorable stay in Kyoto.
