"Great location, super modern and clean, staff was very friendly and even had a birthday card for my daughter and let us use a Polaroid camera to make memories. They saw us dressed up in kimonos and came outside to take pictures of us. Even told us where to pose so you could see the beautiful temple in the background. Overall, this was a beautiful place and I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend"

Top Otsu Hotel Reviews

Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA

10/10 Excellent

"Very good locatd hotel by Kyoto station where you can get to all attraction and touristic sites. staff very helpful and the breakfast is gorgeous. If you staying at this property,make sure to use the public bath and enjoy the facility. Will stay again if visiting Kyoto another time."

Biwako Hotel

8/10 Good

"room fine bathroom a bit dated as is the rest of the hotel. overall good location right on lake all rooms have view of lake pool is free for resident but very over clorinated which gave us all bad rashes. so only used once which was a sham as reason we stayed there. station close and hotel has shuttle bus to station 3 times an hour which was good over all hotel ok probably not to my taste but very popular with locals we were only english there and a good place to stay away from hustle and bustle of kyoto but easy access as only two stops on train. stayed there 20 years ago and it hadn’t changed since then"

RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful few days in Kyoto, hotel is good. Really close to the station which is ideal. We upgraded to an executive room for not a lot of extra money, but then had breakfast, a drink at the bar everyday, and access to the swimming pool included. Very good value. I would stay here again."

Biwako Ryokusuitei

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed one night, but if we ever go back to Japan we will try to book for longer. It is a bit out of the way and if you miss the last shuttle the walk back is about 20 minutes. But the traditional room with the bath on the balcony was amazing. And the buffet breakfast was fun. One night just wasn't enough time to truly enjoy the pause in our trip."

Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient Transport: An easy 5-minute walk from Kyoto Station, making sightseeing and transit incredibly hassle-free.Excellent Facilities: The hotel is pristine and fully equipped. The smart TV lets you check laundry status from your room, and the lobby offers a premium amenity bar with ReFa products. Staying here also grants free lounge access at their Shijo sister property!Rich Dining Experience: The food is phenomenal. The complimentary guest lounge offers afternoon sweets and unlimited evening sake/beer. The breakfast buffet is an absolute must-try, featuring live-cooked Wagyu beef shabu-shabu."
