Top Iwayasan Shimyo-in Temple Hotel Reviews

Ben's Guesthouse Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"My son and I stayed at Ben's Guesthouse for four nights in September 2026. Our room was clean and plenty spacious. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean and totally functional, nice shower/bath. The air conditioning was comfortable and reliable. There is a strict no-shoes policy which is enforced by placing your footwear in designated slots before you enter beyond the office area. It's easy to adjust to this policy, and it translates into very clean floors throughout. Ben's is in a quiet and clean neighborhood, and particularly quiet at night, as all the stores on that particular street close early. There is still plenty going on at all hours within walking distance. We felt really lucky to have discovered Ben's Guesthouse. If I ever return to Kyoto, that's where I'll stay, beyond a doubt."

Kyoto Brighton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The facility is very clean and modern. The rooms are large and comfortable. The amenities are excellent. The staff are helpful and polite. Breakfast is very average, however."

Hotel Excellence Enmachi Ekimae

8/10 Good

"As a budget hotel, this one is reasonably good, it is close to subway, bus stations and many restaurants. It lacks of laundry facilities, the nearest coin laundry is 5min walk away. The room is a bit smaller than the last hotel I stayed but in-room facilities are sufficient."
