Top Katsura Imperial Villa Hotel Reviews

Hotel Emion Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was right next to the train station which was very convenient for our family. It was clean and very nice to stay in. We also enjoyed the buffet breakfast and roof top terrace."

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

8/10 Good

"Buffet breakfast was on the colder side (for instance, the grilled mackerel was not hot enough), but the udon was very good- we had 2 servings - and the pastries with whipped butter and marmalade were yummy. The Japanese breakfast served in the cozy restaurant on the basement floor was very good - its tofu simmering in soy milk broth which could be enjoyed to the last drop was very interesting as it was our first encounter with this dish (gotta wait 5 minutes (for the tofu to be ready), said the staff) and needless to say, it was oishi! There’s a water dispenser outside the rooms, you might need to walk a long way depending on where your room is. Everything was new, even the cups and glasses smelled like they just came out of their boxes. So washing before use is needed😉 We stayed in a twin room with additional bed (sofa bed), so space for opening 3 medium size luggages was limited. Check-in machines that generated card keys on the spot was cool. We paid the 1200-yen per head of hotel tax in cash. Staff can speak English, so we could understand each other. 😊"

THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"The best thing about Blossom is the calm atmosphere it creates within the busy Kyoto center. Room was nice soft floor without carpet. View was to carpark structure?! But the double drapes were good for light control and privacy. Bed was comfortable. There is a nice bathroom with shower in the room and Japanese common bath in the basement was beautiful and enjoyable if you want the full bath with soaking pool experience. Keep in mind bath suit is not allowed in the common bath. Breakfast was very good with Japanese and western buffet options but no ala carte so you would have to go with the full 3000Yen offering but worth it for the convenience. Again. The place is calm and not crowded. Highly recommend."

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"
