Top Kyoto Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"What a great place, and great staff, excellent service "

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"The location was perfect for us . We loved that we were within a few blocks to the Nishiki market, Takoyakushi-dōri and walking distance to Gion and the train station. You walked out of the building to lots of stores, restaurants and activity but our room backed onto a temple so was very quiet at night . The facility was clean and the reception very helpful. The room had linoleum not carpet easy cleaning. Room size was decent. We had a twin room and would stay here again in a heartbeat. "

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

10/10 Excellent

"I did not have breakfast at the hotel, so I cannot really comment about it. But by what I experienced at the hotel I am pretty sure it would have been pretty good. On arrival at the hotel I was given a free upgrade which I was very happy with. It was a very large, very clean room with a double bed and a great view from the window. Sorry I forgot to take any photos of the room. It was only about a 8 min walk from the train station. All the staff were very nice and friendly. I had a fantastic time there. Cheers"

Royal Twin Hotel Kyoto Hachijoguchi

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is located 3mins from Kyoto station. Has luggage minding services for before you are checked in and after you checked out. 24hrs reception. All the amenities you could think of. Rooms are a tight squeeze for larger groups but this is in line with most Japanese hotels. Public bath if you are not shy. Small but great buffet breakfast. "

Kyoto Tokyu Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were very nice. I especially enjoyed the size of room 611. So spacious! The free refreshment room near the lobby is a nice touch. Although I did not have access on my last three days. Staff is very courteous, particularly the front door staff. 18日間お世話になりました。有り難うございました。"
