10/10 Excellent
"I stayed at Resi Nishijin in Kyoto with my family of 4 and the room was big and well equipped. Clean and beds were comfortable. The washing machine was handy and the space was appreciated. The area whilst quiet is connected well with buses. There is a bus stop right outside. It is about 25mins walk to the golden pavilion. It is a 20-25min bus ride back to Kyoto Station and about 3600 Yen via taxi to the Station as Buses don’t allow big luggages on board - although I saw many foreigners do this during our bus ride. Get an all day bus pass for 1100 yen - good value. Google maps works well to help get you around. If you prefer to be closer to Kyoto station - then this isn’t the place for you but we appreciated the space of the room so it worked for us. Staff at reception were nice and we had a free shuttle to the hotel but had to book a taxi for our ride back to Kyoto station after checkout. Plenty of nice places to eat around the hotel and supermarket across the street. Lifts were available too."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was awesome! Friendly and helpful staff. The onsen was a nice experience. The room was large for a Japan hotel. The only room for improvement feedback I have is to have them have more washer and dryer machines. I had to wait 50 minutes just to get a washer. The dryer setting on the first cycle doesn’t dry clothes so two other people in front of me had to do another dry cycle. I also had to do an extra dry cycle. It was a little ridiculous having to wait so long to do some laundry. I think there could be a better system or more machines for guests. The location was perfect! Right next to a train and subway station which made it super easy to get around to all of our destinations. There is also tons of shopping and wonderful restaurants in walking distance. Overall, this was our favorite place that we stayed at on our trip. It was very nice!!"
