Top Gion Shirakawa Area Hotel Reviews

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location"

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

10/10 Excellent

"Great quieter location in Kyoto yet easily accessible. The rooms are spacious and the breakfast was great, offers international choices. I love the TV showing laundry availability, but suggest more washer/dryer machines. The onsen also needs to be cleaned hourly during peak hours more often as there is hair everywhere and trash in most bins."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"The room was smaller than expected, it was difficult for four of us with suitcases. We also couldn’t get the air to stay on cool. Sleeping was pretty uncomfortable due to this, including the firmness of the pillows. With that being said the staff was incredible, the baths were lovely and the free amenities were a nice touch. I would recommend to smaller groups, and I probably book separate rooms if you’re friends."

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Short subway from Kyoto station. We did not use amenities. Room was clean and quiet and large enough for my me and my adult daughter. The elevators were busy and slow at times. I also wanted to order take away or room service from the hotel restaurant and they said no."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

"I really enjoyed this hotel. I will be back for sure if we get a chance to visit kyoto again someday. I love how close it is to nishiki market, but also transit to other places was super close. Only thing I noticed was the front end staff were surface level polite, but when I asked for help a few times they got frustrated with me. Only way I could tell is they made my questions feel dumb and honestly they probably were, but in my case, navigating their luggage delivery service was new to me since we dont have this where I live and it took my a few tries to navigate their site. I think the staff were friendly enough, but didnt have a lot of patience if you didnt understand something or had questions. Tbh I only asked like 2 questions l, but who knows, maybe they had a lot that day."

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"This is the best hotel I've stayed in Japan. No question I would come back here again. We stayed for 4 nights and wished we could've stayed longer and just take more day trips from there. It's steps from transportation, shopping, restaurants. What I love about the hotel is the warm reception, helpful staff, beautiful clean rooms (relatively spacious too), comfortable beds, and nice showers. The lobby is also a relaxing place to sip tea or coffee in lounge chairs. We tried luggage forwarding for the first time. The staff helped make the process super easy and accurate. Nothing to complain about."
