Hotel Keihan Kyoto Ekiminami Review

A straightforward modern hotel on Higashikujō-Muromachi, a minute south of Kyoto Station's Hachijō exit.

Best for

Travellers watching what they spendShort stays built around day tripsAnyone who will be out all day and back late

Why it stands out

The distance to the platform, at a fraction of what the same distance costs on the north side.

Main trade-off

The south side of the station is the plainest ground in this guide — offices, hotels and car parks. Nothing here is worth walking to, so every evening starts with a train or a bus.

Why we recommend it

Best for a lower rate

Our pick for a lower rate that keeps the one thing the station area is for. It is a minute from the Hachijō west exit, so the trains stay as close as they are from the far more expensive rooms inside the building.
