"We enjoyed our stay at the Kyoto Garden Inn. It was a little bit out of the way for seeing all the different attractions in Kyoto. The room was clean and the staff was friendly. We would recommend this hotel to all our friends."

Hotel Excellence Enmachi Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"Very cozy and accommodating! Would definitely stay again!"

Guest House Oumi - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"The owner Tomi is extremely attentive and will provide you with a multitude of services within and around the guest house. The traditional Japanese rooms are located on the second floor up a VERY STEEP set of stairs, keep that in mind for luggage and beverages. The onsen around the corner is super nice and you’re nearby to both JR station and local subways. Tomi also cooks egg breakfast sandwiches daily 7-9 am, has tea, coffee, and cold water/electric kettle available anytime. 12-5 pm is cleaning hours and you cannot stay in the building during this time as far as I’m aware."

OKU Kamishichiken

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place to stay in an area of Kyoto that’s close to a few large, beautiful shrines. Really great room complemented by a wonderful, helpful staff. Would love to stay here again!"
