Top Otani Sobyo Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice staff beautiful lobby"

Dhawa Yura Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"This has been one of the best hotels out of my trip. Especially for the staff, making our honeymoon. So special and personalized would definitely recommend."

THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

8/10 Good

"First, the front-of-house staff are great, especially the bus driver. Everyone I interacted with was engaging, friendly, and very helpful. The design of the hotel is also excellent, and the location is very convenient, within walking distance of many things. I hate to say anything negative because the staff were so good, but there were a few issues during my stay. The springs in my first bed were worn and extremely uncomfortable, so the hotel kindly moved me to another room. The bed in the second room was in good condition, but unfortunately there was a significant housekeeping issue with the cleanliness of the sheets, which meant I had to change rooms again. That said, the manager was very understanding and appeared to take the issue seriously and act on it immediately, which I really appreciated. Overall, I can still recommend this hotel. The staff, design, and location are all very good, and I expect the housekeeping issue will be addressed. With a little more consistency in room and linen checks, this could very easily feel like a five-star experience."

Kyoto Granbell Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful place, amazing location, helpful staff"

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were clean and Excellent"

Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Está bien ubicado, y relativamente cerca del transporte público. Las instalaciones impecables y es un plus que tengan autoservicio de lavandería."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"The room was a good size for Japan. We really liked the washroom set up..the fact that the toilet was in a separate room and there was a Japanese style washing area. It was great to have a sliding door to separate the two spaces. Storage was ample. The location was great for shopping and the hotel was quiet. We liked the lounge area in the other part with free coffee and soft drinks. The washing machines were greatly appreciated. Although they had check in machines there was always staff at the front desk to help with inquiries. Would definitely stay here again. Good value!! I’m"

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi
