Top Saimyoji Temple Hotel Reviews

Ryotei Rangetsu

10/10 Excellent

"This was the top-notch authentic Japan experience I was hoping for. The design elements were beautiful throughout the property. The service was thoughtful and professional. I hope to return."

Togetsutei

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in the room with a private bath, and its own interior water feature/mineral water stream. Possibly the best room(s - it was more of a suite) I’ve ever stayed in. Clean tatami mats, lovely meal, great private bath - we spent a lot of our visit just sitting next to the small waterfall/stream and reading."

Riverside Arashiyama

10/10 Excellent

"Riverside Arashiyama was a wonderful stay! The hotel and staff there were extremely generous and always helped with whatever we needed. Also, the rooms are extremely spacious which helps when you have lots of luggage. I would stay here again!"

MUNI KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff, stunning views of the river, superb breakfast, the garden views were chefs kiss!"

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"
