Top Kawai Shrine Hotel Reviews

Hearton Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay in Kyoto Location was perfect, close to train stations, which made getting around Kyoto really easy. The staff were very helpful and polite, and the rooms were very clean. One thing that stood out: they made it easier to ship our luggage to the next hotel, which saved us a lot of hassle. No negatives at all. I'd stay here again without hesitation."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"It was an amazing Onsen experience. The hotel was super clean, the staff spoke English, lots of service to use to make traveling and staying better. Food is good offering both Japanese and Western meals. They offer free dinner ramen as well. 10/10 will book again"

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"An ideal location with a fantastic breakfast to start your day. We were a family of 3 adults and the room was ideally laid out with 3 twin beds. Most hotels for 3 adults are ill-arranged with the the additional bed behind shoved in to fill the space but this was ideal and felt like a room for 3 adults. The entire staff was courteous and attentive. Overall a very comfortable stay and would definitely return if in the Kyoto area."

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Definitely a top notch very modern hotel experience ! The breakfast included not only a selection of various egg dishes but also offers a wonderful selection of freshly baked French bakery items. A wide selection of fresh salads and fruit round out the buffet offers. Room as well as amenities are 4 star level and truly provide their guests with a very modern and comfortable stay. One of the best hotels that I stayed in on my trip."
