Top Nijō Castle Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"This would be the second time we booked with Onyado Nono. We knew that if we ever go back to Kyoto, and availability permits, we would always book here. Love the amenity, the staff, and the overall experience they provide. We mostly book here cause of the onsen and the tatami inspired facility. Its a walking distance to Kyoto station as well."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

Garrya Nijo Castle Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Was absolutely the most amazing way to close out my 3-week trip in Japan. The rooms were beautiful, the hotel serene, and the service was outstanding. Make sure to book your room to include their delicious and exquisite breakfast. Beyond this, I was double upgraded to a room with a Bamboo Garden view."

Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sanjo-Karasuma

10/10 Excellent

"The room was amazing, clean, and had everything needed. The staff were super helpful as well. I arrived early and they let me store my bags before check in as well as after check out before having to leave for my next destination. When I did check in, they already had my bags set up in my room. Would definitely stay again!"

The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was a masterclass in how to run a hotel. Clean rooms, a large powerful shower with superb water pressure and a very large and comfortable bed. The air con was easy to work. The bathroom had considerable amounts of shelving and there was plenty of hanging space. A fridge in the room is always great. So many hotels don’t do the basics well - this one certainly does and it was amazing. Great location near a 7-11 and train station too. A perfect base for exploring Kyoto and a fabulous breakfast too. Five stars 🌟"
