Top Mount Hiei Hotel Reviews

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"El desayuno no era muy variado y había muy poca cantidad de todo que se agotaba constantemente y había retardo en volver a surtirlo. Pocos empleados"

Biwako Ryokusuitei

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed our stay here, the suite was beautiful, clean and well maintained (and had a private bath). I didn't realize there were also public baths on the property too, so was able to experience that as well. Came with both a private dinner in the restaurant and breakfast. It was a relaxing option outside of hakone for the onsen experience."

Kyoto Ohara Ryokan Seryo

10/10 Excellent

"This Ryokan was fantastic! My wife and I stayed in the Seryo Ryokan for one night and were blown away by how nice and relaxing it was. We picked the private Onsen suite. Our room was the “Sakura” room which is a corner room with your own private garden, private onsen, and suite style room. The Kaiseki dinner was excellent and the breakfast was very good too. I will point out that dinner is rather early at 6 pm and although we were both full after dinner, we were craving additional food around 9 pm and there is no additional food on the property or around the area that is open. I recommend having some light snacks packed. The fridges were stocked with beer, teas and soft drinks. Highly recommend!"

Satoyu Mukashibanashi Yuzanso Ryokan

10/10 Excellent

"We had a room with a private tub, which was spectacular and made it a really special trip! It’s a little squishy but 2 people can fit in there. We also booked dinner with our stay which was another really special part of the stay. I would’ve liked to book 2 nights so we could have more time to explore the area, but overall all the staff were super helpful and having the pick up from the train was another big help. There was also a station in the lobby that had face masks, and everything you could think of to help make your stay more relaxing"

The Prince Kyoto Takaragaike, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"It was an amazing experience at Prince Kyoto. The view from the room was breath taking. It’s one of the best experiences I have had staying at this hotel. The staff was extremely polite and went above and beyond to help. We enjoyed their hospitality and kindness. Love to stay here again in future."
