Top Katsura Imperial Villa Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Great hit spring hotel. We cannot wait to go back."

Rihga Gran Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Staff were helpful and friendly. Close to train station. Location was great"

APA Hotel Kyoto Eki Horikawadori

10/10 Excellent

"super clean!!!"

Hotel Granvia Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel's location is very convenient. Train station,shopping, restaurants, Kyoto tower, Airport Limousine service are all within walking distance. There are multiple things to do at night around the train station and hotel. Light shows, water light shows, illuminated projections, and displays all setup for photo opportunities. There are skywalks, massive escalators, and walkways everywhere. I spent 3 nights here and still did not see everything. With that said, because of the way the hotel is designed, the rooms can be very far from the elevators, but you can see some of the displays as you walk to your room. I am definitely staying here again. The staff are very courteous and attentive. They even left me a message asking if I needed anything because I left the "Do not disturb" sign out. Who does that these days? They also give you a paper every morning in English or Japanese. Now that's what I call service. We had no issues understanding any of the staff. Almost every spoke English. I can't say enough about how courteous and attentive they all are."

Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA

10/10 Excellent

"Really lovely room for 3 adults."

S-Peria Hotel Kyoto

8/10 Good

"I typically travel to Kyoto for sightseeing, and of course, delicious cuisine, so this review is based on those motives. Typically I choose a spot close to Kyoto Station as I like to hop on a train and visit all of the lovely spots that Kyoto has to offer, so I'm used to being in a location with a lot of easy access to transportation as well as food, and staying at S-Peria was a new experience for me. I'll list different criteria in case it helps with your travels. Location - Not bad. If we use Kyoto Station as the the Southernmost central location in Kyoto, then S-Peria would be on the West side of Kyoto. And it is a fairly short <10 ride to Kyoto station on the local JR train, or also a fairly short two stops to Nijo station. The line that runs through the station has just one track in either direction and is called San-nin. If you are traveling with a JR pass during your stay, your JR pass can be used to cover the costs of riding. The hotel is a very very short two short block walk to the Tambaguchi train station, but it's a definitely a non-touristy part of town and dining options are sparse, limited to a few so-so restaurants between 2-6 blocks away. It's great access if you want to go to Nijo Castle or to see the bamboo forest at Arashiyama (both on the San-nin line), but if you want go to the heart of old Kyoto (aka Gion 'ghee-ohn'), with the shops new and old, the temples and shrines, like Kinkaku-ji or Kiyomizu-dera, Heian, and more, those are all bundled up on the"

"Lovely hotel. Beautiful decor and really enjoyed the Onsen"

Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place, very friendly and helpful staff. We enjoyed the little treats throughout the day, and the amenities was great."

Kyoto Umekoji Kadensho

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and clean building. If you want to use the private Onsen, the best time is right after check-in, after dinner, and in the early morning. One thing to note is that the dinner meal and breakfast buffet are an additional fee. Overall, great stay, we would book again in the future for a relaxing night."
