Top Ryoan-ji Temple Hotel Reviews

Agora Place Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"Great location to be in overall. The staff here were able to help get a bag back to me after I had left it in a taxi. I recommend anyone to stay here as the stay was also pleasant"

KOKO HOTEL Residence Kyoto Nijo Castle

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed with our two teenagers and had plenty of room to spread out. Room was comfortable and very clean. Close to the train and walkable to Nishiki Market and Nijo-Jo Castle. Highly recommend if you’re staying in Kyoto!"

The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo

8/10 Good

"Great position opposite Nijo station Very quiet and comfortable"

RESI STAY Nishijin

10/10 Excellent

"This place was huge by Japanese standards. It’s basically a full apartment. Convenient location with a grocery store and several conveniences stores near by. Bus stop right outside the apartment made getting around Kyoto easy. Having a washing machine in the room was a game changer. We’d definitely stay here again. Worth noting that check in is at a different location and the property itself is self service but they supply anything you’d need to have a comfortable stay. They even shuttle you to the property after check in which saved a few bucks on a taxi."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"Very good stay"

La'gent Hotel Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"Busy hotel with many international guests. Really nice clean and modern public bath, but no cold water bath or dry sauna, only a very spacious and peaceful rectangular public bath with nice outdoor window. Breakfast was great. No lattes at breakfast but very good coffee and juices. Hot dishes were very good as were pastries. About 8 min walk to Nijo station so convenient in many ways to the main subway lines in Kyoto. Would be happy to visit again."

Ben's Guesthouse Kyoto

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and bigger than expected Small kitchenette at the entrance Small pot was missing only the big casserole Very nice to have laundry The location is good and quiet but closest bus is 7 min from the property"

Ryokan Yamazaki

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice Ryokan! Slightly removed from the core but there are 2 buses that regularly go into town so its not a huge issue. We stayed in the private room on the lower floor with the private zen garden, highly recommend if its available as it was amazing for late night drinks, and the sounds of night and the river that runs beside the ryokan. A must stay for a traditional experience! One Laundry + dryer on site for a small charge (plus you need to buy a detergent packet from the front desk, 200yen). The Japanese style breakfast was delicious, make sure you let the staff know the day before if youd like to have it, its 1500yen per person and well worth it! Will definitely be staying here again next time."

Hotel Excellence Enmachi Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"Thre room is clean, the staff on the front desk are so accommodating, also the housekeeper"
