Top Katsura Imperial Villa Hotel Reviews

Hotel Emion Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Nice quiet location, away from hustle and bustle. But still conveniently located only 1 train stop from Kyoto Train station."

APA Hotel Kyoto Eki Horikawadori

10/10 Excellent

"My only complaint was that there were only three washer/dryers in the entire hotel and I had to wake up at 2:00am to wash and dry my clothes when I was already exhausted. Every time I’d check there was a line of people waiting to use them. And it took a few cycles for my clothes to dry although I didn’t wash much."

"Staff amazing, hotel clean. Location pretty good one stop from Kyoto or a 20 min walk. Hotel was clean and felt very modern. Little downsides were loved the coffee stations but if your rooms near it you will hear the grinder and the chatting. Apart from that felt like a good local hotel."
