Top Kawai Shrine Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay. The hotel is a perfect location for visiting most of the sites in Kyoto. The one suggestion would be to have some variety in the breakfast menu. We stayed for 6 days so it got kinda tiresome to have the same food."

Hilton Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel. The location is prefect and the subway station is located very closed to the hotel, so catching the tubes was easy. Breakfast was delicious and they had a very wide variety for everyone. I will definitely be come back and staying here again."

Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"We loved lakewood! staying here again when we come to visit kyoto again!"

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel room was bigger than the average, bathroom is modern and clean. The location is perfect right at the entrance of their big indoor shopping area that connect to the main tourist food street. One thing is there’s only 4 washer and 4 dryers. The washers are fast but the dryers are slow so people end up waiting in line like crazy around 9pm til midnight so do your laundry early when it’s empty"

Hotel Okura Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Centrally located near restaurants and shops. Staff was friendly and helpful."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"The room was a good size for Japan. We really liked the washroom set up..the fact that the toilet was in a separate room and there was a Japanese style washing area. It was great to have a sliding door to separate the two spaces. Storage was ample. The location was great for shopping and the hotel was quiet. We liked the lounge area in the other part with free coffee and soft drinks. The washing machines were greatly appreciated. Although they had check in machines there was always staff at the front desk to help with inquiries. Would definitely stay here again. Good value!! I’m"

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier
