Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

Great location in my favorite part of Kyoto. Right on the river. We selected the more expensive river view rooms and it was well worth it. The ability to be guaranteed a great river view, along with the onsen and location, was why I picked this hotel and I was very happy with my choice. The rooms was comfortable and quiet, with a couch at the view end, though not enough storage spade to unpack. Breakfast was very good. I think the Japanese items were better than the Western items.

- The hotel has nice onsens, and what we really appreciated was the laundry facilities. Right next to the baths, there are several washer-dryer machines where you can load your laundry and head to the bath. It’s convenient, quick, and very affordable. The hotel even has an online page where you can monitor your laundry in real-time. - The hotel is within walking distance of a wide range of restaurants and cafes. - Two metro stations are just a few minutes away, making it quick and easy to get around.

Clean large room - room had a little seating area which was nice. It fit large x1 and medium x1 luggages very comfortably. Shower area was separate from the tub, which we much preferred!

Location was great- really close to Sanjo train station so a straight forward and cheap train journey from Osaka. Great location in Kyoto for restaurants, shops and temples. Twin rooms were great, comfy beds and lovely bathrooms. Nice breakfast. Very helpful reception staff. The cool burger restaurant a couple of doors down from the hotel (Up it) was a great hit for a family dinner.

We stayed in a garden view room, on the forth floor. The room was beautifully designed, very spacious (in Japanese standards). We were somewhat worried that the garden view room will be noisy due to one of the reviews. This was not the case, the room was very quite, and the curtains blocked the light completely. We slept very well :) Our guess is that maybe the reviews that indicated noise were for the ground floor.
