Top Otsu Painting Museum Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

"Hotel was really good, brilliant bakery, good laundry services and location was good. Really enjoyed the rooftop bar shame it rained so the bar had to close. We ate dinner a couple of times and the food was excellent."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

10/10 Excellent

Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice"

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"Good location. Excellent breakfast buffet."

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."

Toyoko Inn Kyoto Biwako Otsu

10/10 Excellent

Ryokan Yoshida-sanso

10/10 Excellent

"The property, staff, food and service in general were of the highest possible standard. We hope to return."
