We stayed at Hotel Oaks for 3 nights in May 2012 and had a great experience. -The hotel isn't as modern looking as others, but the room was a really good size, clean and the bathroom was very user friendly, albeit small. Had the high tech toilet though which is always a novelty experience in Japan -Hotel has wifi, always... More

We booked this hotel as it was well priced . It is clean but looks a bit drab.The room was quite small and found that it is a bit weird climbing into the bathroom but the water is hot and our towels and linen were changed although we were there for 2 days. Internet is free . It is well... More

Hotel is very well located – it is central, on and near main streets, major bus stop is across the street, main subway lines are just down the street. It is easy to walk and to take public transportation to almost anywhere from this hotel. Gion is just a few stops down the street. Restaurants and shops are nearby. We... More

This hotel was in a very good location in the middle of Kyoto and was within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. It was reasonably priced and rooms were comfortable although from our room there was no view, only of the neighbours hanging up their washing. We also had a car with us and while the hotel didn't have it's... More

The staff members were rude and weird in that dim dingy lobby of very poor taste. Rooms were good for the price. They were clean as well. Location was good for the price - 3-4 bus stop away from Minamiza Theater where you can watch Kabuki, same with the main shopping street and stretch of restaurants on the very narrow... More

Choose this hotel because of the location: on the north side of one of the main roads running through Kyoto. Standard hotel, clean room, free WIFI, well priced. We had no breakfast with the room, but there are enough shops and restaurants outside the hotel.

Altough the rooms are rather small (japanese standard) this hotel is a really good option. Located within walking distance of pretty much everything and really well connected by public transport, this hotel is a good place to stay if the intention is not to spend a lot of time in the room (due to size). Clean, well maintained and the... More

Not well known hotel, but it quite cheap and not far from Kawaramichi, the shopping street of Kyoto. The most thing that I like is service mind of Hotel's receptions. I and my friend walked too much and got the pain in our legs. The receptions not only tell the way to drug store, but also gave us the medicine... More

We stayed at the Hotel Oaks in Decmeber 2010. Finding it was hard, only because the directions that we got were from an exit on the subway line that we couldn't find once we got out to the subway exits. If you take the subway from Kyoto station, it's about a 5 minute walk. The building looks like an office... More
