HOTEL RINGS KYOTO

The room was wonderful with great inclusions like a super comfy king bed, a Bluetooth speaker and the quality bathroom amenities. It was quiet too, I had 204 which was a corner room and lots of natural light. The AC / heater worked really well. The hand basin / vanity is in the room and the shower / toilet is a small cupboard style set up, but the shower itself very large and had both handheld has rainwater options. The great thing was a coffee shop downstairs with lovely food and real coffee plus other interesting drinks such a charcoal latte. And they offer Prana Chai from Melbourne! That was a surprise! Staff all very friendly and helpful. There’s also. Guest lounge / bar on the ground floor which offers books and games. It was a nice place to relax on the last day after checkout (they will hold bags too) before leaving for the airport.

This is such a beautiful hotel. Small and intimate with a wonderful, cosy cafe 'Common Well' as part of the building. The decor is beautiful, it is very clean and on arrival we were made a Matcha Tea with a sweet treat while we were waiting for our room. The food is also delicious at Common Well.

Fantastic. It was my first time at Hotel Rings and it was perfect. Walking into the foyer during the Christmas season was like coming home. The trademark sage (or was it cedarwood?) scent hung in the air and the cosiness of the place (from cute Christmas decor and ornaments to the paintings) was like a warm embrace. Annexed to the foyer was an equally charming cafe (loved their green tea latte; sadly I didn't have time to try their food which looked lovely as well). A welcome matcha drink along with delish snacks was offered in the lounge (guests were also welcome to have tea in the stylish space and have other snacks while reflecting or reading one of the books from the cute mini library). I had a very pleasant and memorable stay in this hotel as a solo traveller. My room was also very stylish without being over the top. Everything in the room was well-considered. It was spacious and equipped with modern amenities. Loved the rain shower as well. Overall, I think Hotel Rings is the perfect base at vibrant Nakagyo Ward :) The price point was also quite reasonable. I will be back one day :)

Fantastic location that feels quiet and tucked away but within walking distance of some great local restaurants and transit stops. Rooms are a decent size and have everything you need, plus room to open up the luggage without being underfoot (although was traveling solo so with two bags it might be different). Comfy bed with quality sheets, nice PJ set, plus kettle + tea/coffee. There's a mini fridge (handy) and TV (never turned it on), wifi was great/fast. Loved having a cafe downstairs - only had breakfast one morning which was delicious and great value at 2000Yen.

The rooms were fantastic although the windows do have that frosted glass effect. It is very cosy in winter with nice ambience, fresh and modern. The bonus was the Cafe/Restaurant off the lobby that serves amazing Coffee and food throughout the day. Location perfect for exploring Nishiki Market and all that surrounds, everything was walking distance or a short Uber ride away. If you are a coffee drinker definitely have a coffee here.... it is the best in Kyoto!
