Top Iwayasan Shimyo-in Temple Hotel Reviews

Kyoto Brighton Hotel

8/10 Good

"Location is not the best for sightseeing traveller unless you are ok taking lot of taxis (which is not too expensive in kyoto)"

Hotel Excellence Enmachi Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

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

Ben's Guesthouse Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"My son and I stayed at Ben's Guesthouse for four nights in September 2026. Our room was clean and plenty spacious. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean and totally functional, nice shower/bath. The air conditioning was comfortable and reliable. There is a strict no-shoes policy which is enforced by placing your footwear in designated slots before you enter beyond the office area. It's easy to adjust to this policy, and it translates into very clean floors throughout. Ben's is in a quiet and clean neighborhood, and particularly quiet at night, as all the stores on that particular street close early. There is still plenty going on at all hours within walking distance. We felt really lucky to have discovered Ben's Guesthouse. If I ever return to Kyoto, that's where I'll stay, beyond a doubt."
