"Our stay here was the highlight of a three week vacation in Japan. It is an unique, deep immersion into Japan culture and hospitality while still being comfortable for non-Japanese. The tranquility and quality of the environment, the accommodations, and the food were exceptional. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made us feel very welcome. They savored their role as guides into the culture and traditions that they offered. While it was a very traditional experience, the facilities...

Top Kyoto University Museum Hotel Reviews

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"Overall the hotel was fantastic. The lobby is interestingly toward the center. As you arrive, a staff member escorts you to the lobby. Once we arrived, we were offered hot yuzu cider which was refreshing. The elevators are hidden behind a sliding wooden door. The finishes were top-notch. Although the fragrance in the elevators was a little off-putting. Maybe it’s a fragrance as Americans we aren’t exposed to, but it was strong and strange. We chose a room with a laundry machine. It was nice to be able to use it. A bit loud, but you can run it while you’re out. Bed was comfortable. AC could have had a bit more control, they prevent it from going below 20 degrees. Overall a peaceful stay, had wished I had been there longer."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

"I really enjoyed this hotel. I will be back for sure if we get a chance to visit kyoto again someday. I love how close it is to nishiki market, but also transit to other places was super close. Only thing I noticed was the front end staff were surface level polite, but when I asked for help a few times they got frustrated with me. Only way I could tell is they made my questions feel dumb and honestly they probably were, but in my case, navigating their luggage delivery service was new to me since we dont have this where I live and it took my a few tries to navigate their site. I think the staff were friendly enough, but didnt have a lot of patience if you didnt understand something or had questions. Tbh I only asked like 2 questions l, but who knows, maybe they had a lot that day."

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location next to shops, restaurants, and stations. Provide LOTS of free amenities if you ever forget anything, free tea/coffee in lobby, and a PJ set. The staff were very helpful with luggage forwarding. They provided clean towels, water, and eye masks every day. Laundry is on two separate floors. One machine broke during our stay so we had to use one on a different floor which only took ¥100 coins."

Ryokan Sawaya Honten

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The staff were so friendly, kind and accommodating. Location is great, close to bus stops and close to heian shrine. Within walking distance of many interesting places. Room was very clean and lovely. Breakfast was a traditional Kyoto style set and was incredibly fresh and tasty. Onsen was so fun and refreshing. The staff was very kind and helpful, they helped us hail a taxi. Stayed here with my husband and would stay again!"
