Best mid-range hotels in Kyoto

Some of the best hotels in Kyoto can be found in the mid-range category. Here, you’ll find top hotels in the mid-range with prices that are more reasonable than those of luxury chains.

If you’re willing to spend between Y8,000 (€75) and Y14,000 (€135) per night for a single, double, or twin room, you’ll be spoiled for choice with mid-range hotels in Kyoto. There are many affordable mid-range hotels in the city.

For this amount of money, you can expect almost the same level of service as what you would get at a “smart business hotel” or a somewhat stripped-down version of an international luxury hotel. That means a room that is somewhat larger than a standard hotel room and perhaps a few design elements to spruce up the space. The hotel will likely have its own restaurant or even a spa. There are many affordable mid-range hotels in Kyoto that offer excellent value for money.

Here is a list of what I consider the best mid-range hotels in Kyoto in order of preference:
