We stayed for 3 night in Kyoto in Palace Side Hotel, during the autumn leaves period. The hotel is a very good value, all the other hotels I looked up were either full or highly priced. Clean, nice hotel, with very friendly staff Rooms are ok, not small at all. Location is good, walkable to Gİnza if you are willing... more

You can't beat Palaceside's location right next to the Imperial Garden of the Ancient Palace. My research center in Kyoto recommended it on its own--there were no other options presented. Of course I thought something must have been amiss, so I went searching for three months before my trip and discovered that to get more than what Palaceside offered, I... more

We stayed in a few Tooyoko Inns during our time in Japan, and this hotel seemed just that little bit better than that chain of hotels, and a touch pricier. Well worth it though. The only downside for me was the location - while it wasn't bad, it wasn't great for walking access to the main sites of Higashiyama and... more

My stay at The Palace Side Hotel was really a good experience. I wanted an affordable hotel to rest after several hours walking the streets of Kyoto and worked just fine. The bathroom is similar to others I've stayed (cabin-like) but always very clean. The doors are very thin and you can hear people breathing outside the room, but I... more

I stayed here during a conference and very much enjoyed my stay. Staff are very polite and I never had any problems. The single room I was in was basic and clean, comfortable and with A/C which is necessary in the summer in Kyoto. They have very good rates if you stay longer, which was one of the reasons I... more
