Top Otsu Painting Museum Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"Solid place to stay in Kyoto with lots of free amenities. The onsen is very nice and well maintained. Would love to stay again!"

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Didn't like needing smartphone to use laundry. Likely because I'm 73 years old ;) Otherwise, Nohga is my go-to if visiting Kyoto."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"Convenient location, well maintained. Breakfast buffet ok, usually crowded."

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"Great location!"

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean hotel. Very good are close to lots of shopping and food and easy access to temples and museums."

Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice"

The Westin Miyako Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Our issue was very specific and might not affect most. There were limited gluten free options in the restaurants for lunch and dinner. Although you can convince a chef in other places to grill fish or steak easily, it was not an option here, at least in the common restaurant. Breakfast was better. They had gluten free bread and many options. Also, all restaurants (there are two other special ones) close rather early. But other than these (which might not be a big issue for most) a really good hotel. Fantastic staff."

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"

Toyoko Inn Kyoto Biwako Otsu

10/10 Excellent

"Toyoko Hotels are usually great. They are clean, convenient, and affordable, and they tend to have lots of useful amenities or people who might have forgotten to bring something like a toothbrush or razor. This particular hotel has a really convenient location that's a short walk from several train stations and from a couple of very charming and pleasant shopping arcades. Miidera (三井寺) and Lake Biwa (琵琶湖) are also manageable walks. Otsu is a lovely and underrated city, and this hotel is in a really nice part of the city."
