The PERFECT location; only 10 minutes walk from the Kyoto station and right across from the temple. They also had the BEST breakfast we’ve had during our entire Japan trip (you can choose between traditional Japanese or continental American); we had both and it was delicious. The staff was so sweet and accommodating. We were able to Uber everywhere within 20 minutes. Highly recommend!!

This place is a must-stay! A short walk from Kyoto station and right across the street from the incredible Higashi-Hongan-ji, it is also close to restaurants and konbini. The traditional style rooms are beautiful and spacious. The staff were incredibly attentive and kind (some speak English). The traditional breakfast (available for purchase) it absolutely incredible as well! There is also a small bath available for use (divided by gender), which was a great way to relax after a long day of sightseeing. I highly recommend this place!

We have stayed at a lot of hotels on every continent and our stay at Hokkaikan Ohanabo was one of the best ever! Our room was spotless and serviced unobtrusively and meticulously. The staff was kind to a fault—insisting on carrying our (heavy) luggage up and down the stairs, drying our umbrellas with towels when we returned, putting our shoes out each morning when shortly before we needed them, and checking with us about every possible need. The breakfasts were spectacular in appearances, flavor, variety and amount (too much to eat, too many choices). I read with some skepticism a few prior reviews saying that the best part of visiting Kyoto was staying at Hokkaikan Ohanabo, but as magical as Kyoto is, I now understand what they meant. The genuine kindness and warmth of the entire staff is unsurpassed.

Amazing stay for our first visit to Kyoto. The staff at this hotel cannot be more accommodating and helpful. From the minute we walked through their doors, they made sure we had everything we need. They even helped carried our luggages to our room. I cannot say enough for the traditional Kaiseki breakfast. The meals each day were delicious and prepared with care.
