hotel MONday Kyoto Karasuma Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"Great customer service the second we stepped foot into the hotel. They had complimentary sake drinks during the evenings. Great breakfast spread and location was super convenient to train and buses. Will definitely stay in the future again. "

Park Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great, very walkable neighborhood to stay in when travelling to Kyoto. Lots of great restaurants within a 10-15 min walk. The Nishiki market with lots of shopping is also close. The room was clean, roomy for what you can expect in Japan, and had incredible blackout blinds. We had our best sleeps in Japan in this hotel. "

Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sanjo-Karasuma

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Tokyu stay hotel was great! I really enjoyed staying there the service was excellent! We received the best customer service from M.Nayuk at the front desk. She helped with directions and gave tips on where to go. The best thing for me was the rooms were super spacious and even came with a washing machine and dryer! That was a super conscience for me as it allowed me to wash my clothes in the room with out having to go any where. The hotel was in a great location right near a subway station and a 7-11. "

KAYA Kyoto Nijo Castle, BW Signature Collection by Best Western

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful hotel. The rooms were clean and breakfast was delicious! Every staff at the hotel were kind and extremely helpful. The hotel is located very close to the Nijo castle and you can get around town using the nearby subway train or Uber/Taxi. Highly recommended!"
