"ホテルの顔である玄関の自動ドアの電源が切れてて、手動を強要してる。 Wifiが使えるか聞いたら、ロビー近くしか使えないといわれた。にも拘わらず部屋にランケーブルも無ければ、言わないと貸してくれない。大荷物持ってるのに階段でどうぞ！と言われた。（エレベーターもあるのに）部屋の鍵が解りにくいのに説明なし。（鍵を回しながらドアを押さないと開かない）ホテルの門限23時。歴史的には有名な地である点と川の中州に建てられたホテルなので景色は良いけど、何もなくて不便だった… フロントも居たり居なかったり、呼び鈴を押すタイプ。愛想は悪くなかったけど、シルバー人材センターのアルバイトって感じだった。掃除はよくされてたけど、施設は古く快適とはいいがたかった… 眺望は良かったけど、リピートはしないな。"

Top Ishiyama-dera Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms so comfortable and clean. I do not want to go out the room anymore but I have to explore Kyoto ☺️ 😆 ❤️. I love it here."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Big and busy hotel in very convenient location near Kyoto station. Didn’t get the chance to use the onsen but it looked pretty popular. Excellent breakfast choice."

THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is perfectly located in the Akasaka district, less than a 10-minute walk from the nearest subway station, making it easy to access the main areas and tourist attractions across Tokyo. The staff were incredibly lovely and welcoming throughout our entire stay. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, although they are the typical smaller size you would expect in Tokyo. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend this hotel."

Gion Ryokan Karaku

8/10 Good

"Please don’t stay if you have a bad back or bad knees. The stay is authentic to Japanese culture."

"Ok"

The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu

10/10 Excellent

"The most beautiful hotel with outstanding amenities and staff. The location was excellent right in the heart of a historic Kyoto neighborhood. We really enjoyed the history behind the building and how they preserved the elementary school memorabilia. The guest lounge is a wonderful option for afternoon tea or happy hour drinks. Breakfast was outstanding and all the staff were truly top notch. Would definitely go back!"

Biwako Hotel

8/10 Good

"room fine bathroom a bit dated as is the rest of the hotel. overall good location right on lake all rooms have view of lake pool is free for resident but very over clorinated which gave us all bad rashes. so only used once which was a sham as reason we stayed there. station close and hotel has shuttle bus to station 3 times an hour which was good over all hotel ok probably not to my taste but very popular with locals we were only english there and a good place to stay away from hustle and bustle of kyoto but easy access as only two stops on train. stayed there 20 years ago and it hadn’t changed since then"

Smile Hotel Otsu Seta

10/10 Excellent

"部屋が綺麗で良いホテルでした"

Kyoto Universal Hotel Karasuma

10/10 Excellent

"It was a nice little Place for what I needed. I spent most of the time traveling around but it was good for a place to sleep and shower. The breakfast was good early in the morning and they do offer Dinner too but I did not take advantage because of the good food in Japan."
