Maravilhoso

Estadia maravilhosa!

Villa Sanjo is a wonderful hotel. We stayed for one week during Christmas 2025 and could not have had a better experience. The hotel is situated in a side street but is very central and easy walking distance to restaurants, train stations, as well as highlights like Nishiki market and Kawaramachi shopping area. There is a wonderful bakery next door that was our go-to breakfast place. One note: the photos of the area do not do it justice; it is far nicer . The room was spotless and very spacious with modern amenities with a great shower. The room was spotlessly cleaned daily. One thing that sets this hotel apart was the fantastic staff. They were very helpful, offering great recommendations for restaurants and other highlights. In particular, Alex was incredible and offered truly exceptional service for our every need.

This is a small hotel with only 12 rooms so it felt very comfortable and private. Excellent rooms and service.

This is a gem! The room was big and cosy with all the necessary amenities, staff is absolutely amazing (they go above and beyond), and the whole place is so welcoming! There are lots of bakeries, restaurants and convenience stores nearby, and it’s easy to walk around or grab the metro. It was a pleasure staying here and I would love to return.

Wonderful friendly staff, superior amenities, clean and comfortable room, great location.

Great bakery right next door. Staffs were wonderful, especially Alex S.

My wife and I traveled to Kyoto as part of our first trip to Japan and we both agreed, without a doubt Villa Sanjo Muromachi was a - of not the - highlight of our trip. A beautiful boutique hotel with spacious rooms, beautifully decored that make you feel right at home in the heart of historic and charming Kyoto. We opted to have breakfast served to our room and specifically the Japanese version which we did not regret. The service is top notch and especially the bartender. First rate cocktails 😉 Thank you!

Our stay was lovely. Located on a quiet street but close to everything, spacious rooms, great service, upscale design. The hotel was even able to have 2 bicycles delived to us at the hotel within 30 minutes.

Very lovely boutique hotel. Beds a little firmer than expected but wonderful hotel overall!

The room was spacious and beautiful with all the amenities you need. The staff was wonderful and made us feel so welcome. They received our luggage and brought it to our room and also booked a taxi for us on our last day. Very short walk to a train station and shops and restaurants.

The staff and service we received was excellent. The room was massive and fantastic.

Loved this boutique hotel experience in a large city.

Very nice and personable hotel in a great area, away from the hustle and bustle of Kyoto proper. Room was spacious. Beautiful balcony. Staff were very pleasant.

Loved staying here

Hotel pequeño, pero habitaciones con espacio, caminando se llega fácilmente a varias estaciones, personal muy amable. Nos hicieron un upgrade de habitación sin costo

Friendly and helpful staff. Wonderful bar. Great location. Fabulous bathtub, comfortable bed.

Great hotel a quick walk from the subway and surrounded by amazing shopping and food. Great central location to hop around the city and see all the attractions!

Super

Charming small, boutique hotel. Excellent bar with Japanese and international spirits. Very helpful staff, will do the best to accommodate your needs and assist you while in Kyoto. It was our second stay, after 7 years and we were reassured about our choice.
