Top Ishiyama-dera Hotel Reviews

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

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!"

THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was a beautiful hotel. Lovely staff, nice entrance, room was stunning and the bed was huge! Was like a retreat at the end of the day. The breakfast options were great and a nice area to eat in. The hot foot bath in the courtyard was a winner for our tired feet at the end of the day. Would definitely stay here again."

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"
