Top Rakushisha Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"Very clean, classy and simple. I just wish the pillows and bed were softer."

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

8/10 Good

"The location was excellent, just across the JR station. Room was nice, spacious and clean. The only issue was the internet connection was so bad that we can’t use at all. Towels are a little beaten up and old. Changing and upgrading the towels would be nice."

MUNI KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at the Muni. Fantastic location, modern rooms, wonderful breakfast, but what sets this hotel apart is the service we received specially from the front desk staff who were always so attentive and considerate of our needs and comfort. From helping us with our luggage, giving us sightseeing tips, calling taxis for us, all this showed true hospitality and caring. The Muni made our time in Arashiyama truly enjoyable."

Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto - Kyoritsu Resort

8/10 Good

"Amenities were fantastic, room was nice, however bathroom did not properly drain and had awful smell. Staff was helpful."

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!"

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."
