About

Randor Residential Hotel Kyoto Suites

Randor Residential Hotel Kyoto Suites sits in Kyoto's Minami district, a roughly 20-minute walk from the garden of Shosei-en. It's positioned in a residential area, away from main roads, which keeps things quiet while still leaving you close to two train stations and a bus stop about five minutes away on foot. The no-smoking policy applies throughout the property.

The hotel operates like a small residential block: there's a lift, 24-hour reception, vending machines for snacks and drinks, and a 24-hour security presence. Rooms are set up as suites rather than standard hotel rooms, with sitting areas, dining tables, electric kettles, cookware, and in many cases a washing machine. Bathrooms lean toward the generous side, and spa baths appear in several room types.

  • No smoking on site
  • Wi-Fi
  • 24-hour reception
  • No pets allowed
  • 24-hour security
  • Luggage storage

In brief

  • Spacious, apartment-style rooms — Suites come with separate sitting areas, dining tables, and, in many cases, kitchenettes or full kitchens, making them comfortable for families and longer stays.
  • Strong value for the class — Multiple guests describe getting excellent value, with a price from £159 and ratings of 8.1 overall and 8.4 for value.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No on-site parking — The hotel doesn't list parking among its amenities, so guests arriving by car will need to arrange alternatives in the neighborhood.
  • Some rating categories lag — While rooms and value score well, the 7.2 rating for the eighth category and 7.8 for staff suggest inconsistency in certain service areas.
  • Modest overall rating — The 8.1 rating falls below the Kyoto-area average of 8.7, indicating some guests were less impressed than with comparable properties.
  • Limited amenities for a 5-star claim — Despite the description calling it 5-star, the hotel lacks common luxury extras like a restaurant, pool, or spa—only vending machines and a terrace are listed.

“Great stay overall. The spot is excellent, just a short walk to the train station, which made exploring Kyoto and day trips to Nara very easy. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, and having a kitchenette for snacks was a plus. The cherry tree outside added a nice touch.”
