Hotel berhampiran Nishijin Park, Kyoto

Booked 3 rooms for 4 days in late Dec 2023. Loved how the rooms were big and cosy and the bed comfy. Coffee machines were available for hotel guests to use free of charge any time of the day. There is also a free indoor onsen for guests to use. Would be nicer if there were more hangers in the room though and more food options around the hotel. Overall was a really pleasant stay.

We had a delightful stay at Hotel Pagong with M's in Kyoto. Although the room was compact, it was perfectly adequate for two guests. The service was consistently kind and attentive. The hotel's location is excellent, with a convenient 15-minute walk to Nishiki Market and both a 7-Eleven and Family Mart less than a block away. We highly recommend this hotel for its comfort, friendly service, and prime location.

We loved this hotel. The paper-free check-in was a surprise, but after that it was all good. Our room was large and comfortable, the breakfast service was good, the staff were friendly and the lounge area was fine. It was easily the nicest/most convenient hotel we stayed in during several weeks in Japan. The subway and buses were close, and the main station was only an easy 15-20 minute stroll. The only small downside was that there were only a handful of restaurants close by, but that was something we could easily plan around.

Meine Eindrücke in Kurzform: Lage: Keine Fussgängerlage, jedoch mit dem Zug nur 1 Station, 4 min., von HB Kyoto weg. Die Station ist 250 m vom Hotel entfernt. Essen in der Nähe vom Hotel: Keine grosse Auswahl, da in einer Wohngegend und nicht in einer Touristengegend. Hotel: Typisches, japanisches Hotel. Schuhe sind am Eingang ausziehen. Anschliessend kann man das ganze Hotel entweder Barfuss oder in Socken begehen. Service sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Im Zimmer hat es Pyjamas. Die Zimmer sind klein, jedoch Tiptop im Schuss gehalten. Onsen: Es hat 2 offene Bäder, getrennt nach Frauen und Männern. Zudem hat es 5 private Onsen. Diese sind 24h offen. Reservieren muss man nicht. Wir hatten immer ohne Probleme ein freies vorgefunden. Sonstiges: In jedem Stock hat es eine Auswahl an Kissen in jeder Variation. Zudem hat es Kimonos die man nehmen kann. In der Lobby gibt es Kaffe und Tee. Zudem gibt es Abends von 10 - 11 im ersten Stock Nudelsuppe. Ich würde dieses Hotel wieder buchen.

Overall was okay, a bit far from Kyoto staion. But, hotel has shuttle bus every 20 mins and make it more convenient. Service and amenities were nice. The worst part was humidity of the room and cleanliness (quite low compared to Japanese standard), plus bedsheets were smelly.

- Lokasi bertentangan dengan Stesen Tokyo. Tetapi ia adalah bahagian restoran. Tetapi ia tidak terlalu jauh untuk berjalan ke stesen kereta api. Hotel ini besar dan luas. - Daftar masuk daftar keluar Anda boleh melakukannya sendiri di mesin. - Perkhidmatan simpanan bagasi disediakan dengan menghubungi kakitangan. - Bilik yang ditempah adalah 2 katil single biasa, tetapi telah dinaik taraf kepada bilik besar dengan ruang sofa untuk berehat. Beg besar 29 inci, 2 boleh dibentangkan dengan selesa, selebihnya lebar di sisi. - Bilik air bersaiz baik Tab mandi tidaklah kecil. - Kelemahan yang dihadapi ialah penghawa dingin tidak boleh dilaraskan. Ketika saya pergi berehat, cuaca di Kyoto sudah mula panas. Tak boleh adjust aircond jadi sejuk. Ia seolah-olah dikawal oleh kerajaan pusat. Panas sangat sampai tak boleh tidur. - Perkara lain ialah Dengan lokasi bersebelahan jalan Kadang-kadang anda boleh mendengar bunyi kereta memandu di jalan raya. Kadang-kadang terdengar bunyi motosikal membelok. Saya terkejut ＞＜

Nice hotel with awesome lake view and free shuttle bus. Room is very spacious. One thing to note is there is no amenities in the toilet which you need to pay for it

A warm welcoming when arriving hotel with English speaking front desk facilitating check in. Spacious room with stunning lake view. There’re 3 venues for breakfast and lots of tasteful choice especially on the 37/F. Sufficient parking lots charging 500yen per day only! Must choose it again for next time visiting!

Came here with family during the Sakura season. It's easy to get to the onset hotel. After arriving at the Ogoto Onsen JR station, towards the south exit you will find a cell phone attached to a board with explanation how to use the phone to call one of the onsen hotels. After the call, their shuttle bus will then come and pick you up between 2pm to 6pm I think. The hotel staff in general are very welcoming. Our family scored a deal with their penthouse suite with private indoor and outdoor onsen. Four of us stayed in the suite and the price is only slightly more than four of us staying in 2 regular rooms. It also came with a beautiful fruit platter for you to enjoy. The suite is very spacious with 2 separate toilets. The bath area has 2 sinks, a shower stall as well as a japanese style bathing area connected to the 2 onsen baths (indoor one is a hinoki wood tub and the outdoor one is a stone one. The outdoor onsen does have a slight privacy issue as there are some residential buildings in a distance. While my mom was a bit too modest to use the outdoor one (which I am not and fully enjoyed it), she did take full advantage of the indoor private onsen. Of course the hotel also has a public onsen for the guests. In fact they have two. One in each towers. I used the one on the top floor in the morning and it was a bless seeing the sunrise while soaking in the hot onsen water. Our package also included both dinner and breakfast that were served at their private dining room. Both meals were done in kaiseki style. We were particularly impressed by their dinner. Not only was it cooked with high quality ingredients and with beautiful presentation, they did not skimp on the quantity as well. Often after eating dinner at other onsen hotel, I would not feel full and actually felt a bit hungry later at night, at Yumotokan the courses kept coming and I was completely stuffed at the end. In fact I did not finish the rice even though it was so yummy (cooked from scratch in front of us with a flamed mini-stove). All in all, a very satisfactory experience. I can recommend anyone who comes to Kyoto/Osaka and wants an excursion and experiences the traditional Japanese onsen.

Stayed at Youzanso during late March 2023. It was during the cherry blossom season. We (family of four) had the room with the Lake Otsu view and private bath. The room was sufficient for 4 of us but I wouldn't call it spacious. However, the room and bathroom were clean. The room came with dinner and breakfast for 4 of us and costed about AUD800. The dinner and breakfast was quite good and would recommend to anyone considering the half board. It might get old if u were staying for few days but we were only there for one night. We toured Kyoto for the day and stayed here overnight then went back to kyoto for more sightseeing. It wasn't as convenient as if you stayed in Kyoto but the travel wasn't long or difficult. The property is bit dated and looks more like a hotel than a ryokan. The facilities are clean but also look dated as well. However, the public onsen is great, clean and the outdoor bath is a must. Took this photo of the external bath when no one was present and the ambiance was really something...
