Top Otsu Hotel Reviews

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

10/10 Excellent

"Love this hotel. Close to the train/metro station. Clean, quiet, good maintanance. The only thing need to recommend guests is that they are restrict on the check-in time which is 2 pm. But you can store your luggage in the hotel for free before checking in. So you can go sightseeing. No complaints. Highly recommended!"

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"What an amazing experience staying at this hotel! From the atmosphere to the service, from the food to the natural hot spring bath, the hotel staff do an incredible job welcoming the guests. It’s an immersive experience of Japanese culture when you are walking with no shoes and are wearing simple Japanese clothing provided. 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"
