Blossom Kyoto exterior view
If you’re looking for a solid hotel with rates that hover on the border of budget and midrange, you’ll be happy with the Blossom. It’s got everything you need for a pleasant stay in Kyoto and the location is pretty convenient: not far from downtown and Kyoto Station, and both the subway and Keihan Line within easy walking distance.

“Onsen” bath
The “onsen” bath in the basement is a nice touch. You’ll also like the welcome drink (matcha) and friendly and efficient staff. Families will definitely like the spacious quad rooms, which have four single beds and a small dining area.

Restaurant buffet
All in all, this is one of the better hotel values in Kyoto. It’s a great choice in the budget/midrange price bracket.
