Top Karamon Gate Hotel Reviews

Rihga Gran Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed one night, but hotel was perfect for us. Hotel is located close to Kyoto Station making it convenient. Room was smaller with our requested 3 twin beds, but very doable. We opted out on their breakfast"

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff and the place is convenient and hotel itself is clean and inviting."

Hotel Granvia Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The location is fantastic. You can spend an entire week here and not get tired of the endless shopping and sightseeing opportunities."

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is super cute and in a great area and close to a lot! We loved the roof top bar and the bakery was amazing as well! Rooms and hotel super cute and very clean. Staff were all amazing and so welcoming!"

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"Pros: - The rooms were spacious compared to most Japanese hotel rooms. It was nice to have a more traditional tatami style room. - The breakfast buffet had an incredible selection to choose from. There’s a bit of a wait depending on when you go, but it goes rather quickly. - Late night unlimited ramen from 9pm-11pm was also a nice touch. We loved being able to eat a light meal after a long day of exploring. - Onsen access is really nice, with massage chairs available for use. And unlimited ice cream every night was also really delicious. Cons: - Having guests take off their shoes at the lobby makes the place smell like feet. It’s pretty gross since it was raining when we were there so it was a mix of wet socks and feet stench. They should at least require that people wear hotel rooms slippers. - The onsen was really dirty from the amount of people that would use the facilities. It was overcrowded and packed during the night time. Overall, I’d stay at this hotel again, but refrain from using public facilities. It’s almost impossible to keep the public areas clean and free of smells since there are so many guests."
