Top Rakushisha Hotel Reviews

Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto - Kyoritsu Resort

10/10 Excellent

"A very unique hotel in a unique location. A very cool place to stay, staff was friendly and well versed in English. Would love to stay here again."

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

8/10 Good

"Large hotel. Everything okay. Only issue is during check in, front desk was not busy with 3 to 4 staff standing by doing nothing but will not check us in. Asked to use self service. Self serve did not work. Ended back at front desk and finally got checked in. Not very courteous and quite frankly rude not willing to help us first time. Most hotel check you in willingly with a smile."

Kyoto Umekoji Kadensho

8/10 Good

"Pros: Hotel looks great with tanami flooring throughout. Onsen facilities are great. Cons: Although only 1 stop from Kyoto Station trains are infrequent and often crowded. Also warehouse next door that plays music in the morning at around 9am. Bed is also a bit too firm"

The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"The best review I can give is that we returned to the same hotel 2 years in a row"

The GrandWest Arashiyama

8/10 Good

"Everything was great; probably the most spacious hotel you'll stay in Japan. Perfect location - Arashiyama was our absolute favorite area in Kyoto. Breakfast was delicious and staff was friendly and helpful. One of the staff members even graciously helped us book a reservation at the beautiful Shoraian restaurant local to Kyoto, which was amazing. Our only wish was to have researched a bit more to know that there isn't an elevator or ramps for this 3-story building before booking, so a warning for those who are looking for something easier for older folks or wheelchair accessibility. It wasn't as convenient for our senior mom, but otherwise, zero otherwise!"

Togetsutei

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were incredibly kind"

Hotel Excellence Enmachi Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"Very cozy and accommodating! Would definitely stay again!"

HOTEL ECCLESIA

10/10 Excellent

"The traditional room was amazing! It is not located in the main heart of the tourist area so it was quiet. It is a 5 minute walk to the train station. We walked all around the area here and loved seeing Kyoto from here."

Suiran, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Kyoto

10/10 Excellent
