Hotel was in a central location to main train station and easy to find after trip from airport. Rooms were small but efficient and had everything you need. Hotel staff was very accomodating and always tried to help us with resturants or directions. Nice bonus to have ramen every night and breakfast was great. Would definately stay again next time...

I stayed for three nights at "Dormy Inn Premium Kyoto Ekimae." It is a lovely hotel right next to the Kyoto Railway Station. The location is absolutely perfect. For those who fancy sauna there is one at the hotel. The service is superb. I liked it very much indeed. It was a wonderful stay. Cheers!

stayed 3 nights at this hotel from 19-21 april. hotel is located right across kyoto station and easily reached on foot within 5-10mins via subway entrance/exit (Porta) or road surface.

But deep in my heart I will always go back to Dormy Inn even though I can use my Starwood points for free rooms at Westin and enjoy Platinum service there. Here are the reasons: 1. Dormy Inn chain's charm All Dormy Inn... More

love the location of this Dormy Inn which is just opposite the Kyoto Station which is the main station connecting Kyoto to other major cities ie Osaka, Tokyo.

Great base for exploring... More
