Top Ritsumeikan University Hotel Reviews

Agora Place Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"Great place for the value. The location is awesome too even though it is far away from the center but there’s bus stops and subway stations nearby. The plus is there’s a very good shopping grocery store and stuff just across the road and the Nijo Castle is 5 minutes walk…it is a great place to walk around in the evening."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Room and facilties were very clean. Staff was very friendly and professional. Breakfast was spectacular. I highly recommend the on-site onsen and complimentary massage chairs for relaxation. After walking 10,000 plus steps per day, it really helped soothe my tired feet and entire body. This hotel is about a 10 minute walk from Kyoto Station."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

10/10 Excellent

"The location was great. It’s just a short walk from Sanjo Station, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. All of the staff were helpful. I stayed in a basement room with a small garden view, which made the room feel really peaceful and relaxing. There’s also an onsen in the basement, so it was nice to soak in the bath after walking around all day in the heat. I also liked being able to grab drinks from the vending machines and then head back to my room to relax. The only downside was that one of the beds squeaked whenever I moved (the other bed was perfectly fine). I wish I’d asked the staff to replace it, because it woke me up a few times during the night."

Hotel Monterey Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Room was great for me and my two kids. Great location. Easy to walk to most places and only a block or two from the subway. My worst complaint about the property was that the shower wasn’t that great. Clean tub but shower ck and under. My daughter however really Staff were always helpful when I had inquires. The spa experience was very unique and wished I had more time to enjoy it. Would recommend to others to take time to enjoy it. I"
