"We were very disappointed to be informed by the hotel that all indoor and outdoor onsen were completely closed. We were not informed at all upon the booking or else, before our check in date. If we knew the onsen were closed, we could have look for an alternative. When we asked for an explanation from the reception staff about the closing of onsen, his explanation came to be shockingly offensive, he said because we had booked for “a cheap price ’"

Top Byodo-in Temple Hotel Reviews

Stay SAKURA Kyoto Fuga

10/10 Excellent

"clean, close to transportation"

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"This was our favorite hotel of the trip! Great breakfast, amenities, laundry on site, massage chairs for free, the onsen. Amazing! Great location to everything we wanted to do and for transit. If I had to say one bad thing it’s that the pillows needed to be updated. They were hard and small. Otherwise, I would 1000% recommend this Place to anyone visiting Kyoto."

KANSEI Kyoto Hachijo

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel room is spacious , clean and well maintained. It is close enough you the Kyoto station. I enjoyed my stay there"

Hotel Anteroom Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at the hotel was very enjoyable."

Rihga Gran Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great experience overall with no major complains."

Daiwa Roynet Hotel Kyoto Hachijoguchi

8/10 Good

"We loved the location of this hotel. Just south of Kyoto Station, which let us explore the region at ease. There were tons of restaurants nearby (close to the hotel, and near the Station). The room was actually quite spacious! (Especially compared the the hotel we had in Tokyo.) The two twin beds, while individually quite small, could be pushed together and make enough room for a family of 4 (two adults, two children under age 7). Amenities were nice (available in the lobby, some available for rent for free). As well, staff were all kind and helpful, particularly the breakfast staff. We were pleased with this hotel! Only a couple of cons. We paid to have breakfast included and while we really liked it the first day, after a 6 night stay it started to get old as none of the food was changed, but we have come to expect this after our trip to Japan. Consider trying the breakfast for a few days but don't depend on it for a long trip. The staff at breakfast was wonderful, however! My biggest complaint is the room did not offer a nice view (facing south, lower floor) but the opposite side seemed to have a glimpse of a nice view featuring buildings, temples an greenery/mountains in the background. We should have asked for a better view but were staying with friends in a nearby room. And finally, the hotel did have more of a corporate/business feel and we would probably want to stay somewhere with more personality and more 'traditional' if staying in Kyoto in the future."

Randor Residential Hotel Kyoto Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Our travel plans changed suddenly and were in a need of a last minute stay. Great location at a great price."

Sakura Terrace

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was like a Brunch" display- excellent! All the staff were very helpful Courtesy drink provided. nightly"

Ariston Hotel Kyoto Jujo

8/10 Good

"Great hotel, but a bit far from Kyoto station area. Close to Fushimi Inari Taisha shrine which was a plus. Carpeting in the room could be better maintained and breakfast selection compared to many other hotels is lacking. Overall a good budget hotel option."
