Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"We love the onsen. Very convenient and nice. The room is quite tight for a family of 4"

Hotel The Celestine Kyoto Gion

10/10 Excellent

"10/10 experience"

Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto

"Very clean, very beautiful and staff were incredible. My only critique is the mini bar. To me its an out dated design and a bit insulting, like your spending money to be there only to be met with auto charged drinks. Water is also given free so it’s a bit redundant. Besides that though! Perfect stay, 100% recommend."
