We love this small and stylish hotel that’s located steps from Nishiki Market in the heart of downtown Kyoto. With warm personal service and excellent style, this place gets it all right.

Hotel Rings Kyoto guest room
If you like your hotels small with a boutique feel and you’re on a relatively modest budget, you’ll be very happy with Hotel Rings Kyoto. First off, the location is central – as central as they come, right in the heart of the downtown core.
Lobby coffee shop
The common areas and room are clean, comfortable and surprisingly stylish for a hotel in this budget class (let’s call it lower-midrange). And despite the small overall size of the hotel, the rooms are relatively spacious. And they’ve got everything you need.
