[2025 Kyoto Hotels] Travel Guide for Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto (Updated Jul)

#Japan and Korea City Hotel #Japan Travel #Kyoto Travel The hotel is located near Kyoto Shiyakusho-mae Station on the Kyoto Metro Tozai Line. It is only a few minutes' walk from various shopping streets, making it very convenient for shopping and dining. 🫰🫰The hotel staff has a good command of English and is very friendly. There are paid bicycles available for rent outside the door, making it convenient for guests to travel. 👍👍👍 The hotel is simple and comfortable with a modern feel. This time we stayed in a regular bed-only room, which was priced at around 400-500 yuan and was a moderate size. The bathroom was a little small and didn't have a bathtub, but it was overall clean and comfortable, and the facilities were complete. Breakfast is in the dining area next to the lobby on the ground floor. I didn’t try it during this stay, but I hope I can try it again next time. Overall personal experience rating 4.7/5 ⭐

This time, I stayed at the Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto, located in Kyoto's Nakagyo Ward on Oike Street, near Kyoto City Hall Station (Tozai Subway Line), about a 10-minute walk away. The hotel is approximately a 10-minute drive from Kyoto Station and within walking distance to Nishiki Market (about 10 minutes) and the Kamo River (about 5 minutes). The surrounding area is dotted with convenience stores and restaurants, making it ideal for exploring Kyoto's old streets and shopping districts. The room type was a twin room, approximately 30 square meters in size, featuring a modern minimalist design with a touch of Japanese Zen. The room is equipped with free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and a 55-inch smart TV (with access to YouTube and Netflix). The bathroom is shower-only, fitted with TOTO fixtures and complimentary toiletries, with stable water pressure. Guests can enjoy free coffee, tea, and access to a microwave in the lobby restaurant (coffee and tea are available during limited hours daily). The front desk supports both English and Japanese, with friendly and attentive staff providing travel information and bicycle rental guidance. Check-in and check-out processes are efficient, though assistance may take longer during peak times. The lobby features a wood and white color scheme, incorporating traditional Kyoto elements, creating a clean and tranquil atmosphere. The overall vibe is relaxed, making it suitable for young travelers and families. A short walk to Nishiki Market offers a chance to savor Kyoto's local delicacies, such as sashimi sushi (around ¥1,000) and matcha desserts. Nearby cafes, like Smart Coffee, provide a retro ambiance.

Just traveled to Japan, but this time traveled to the Kansai region, went to 4 provinces: Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Kobe, which we started the trip in Kyoto. The hotel that I will review is Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto. Inside the hotel lobby is spacious, airy, clean, and there are free drinks in that area until 9 pm. We arrived at noon. The staff let us into the room immediately. The room is spacious, the bathroom is spacious, and there are clear separations. There are pajamas (which is normal for hotels in Japan). It is considered very good and came at a price of about 1,100 baht per night. The hotel is about 50 meters from the main road in an alley, very close. In front of the main road, there is a metro mall underground. There are clothes, restaurants, drugstores, and supermarkets, which are connected to Kyoto Shiyakucho-mae Station. You can walk a long way and come up in front of the hotel. #Kyoto #TokyoTravel #Japan #Osaka #OsakaTravel #JapaneseAccommodation #Kyoto #Osaka #Japan #TravelJapanByYourself
