Top Samurai Kembu Theater Hotel Reviews

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The hotel was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and everything made our visit enjoyable. We would happily stay here again!"

Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Staff helpful and luggage transfer service from Osaka to this hotel in Kyoto arrived same day and Kyoto- Tokyo Disney the next day . Hotel clean and tidy and room was the biggest Iv had in Japan definitely suitable for two adults. Shower was very powerful and room cleaned daily . Beds soft and tv had Netflix. Buffet breakfast was okay and would probably skip if your given the option it’s basically just eggs and bacon, miso soup and some pastries/ coffee/ tea . Better food to be had away from the hotel . Very far from stations and convenience stores about 10-20 minute walks and as a female solo traveller, Kyoto is quite dark when walking of a night so be aware . Close to nishiki market about 10-15 minute walk and 25 minute walk across the river to gion area. Two closest stations were Kyoto Shiyakusho-mae Station for the Tozai line and Karasuma Oike Station for the karasuma line (direct to Kyoto station for Shinkansen) both stations are 15 minute walks. Overall hotel was good for price and had everything you needed but just a little bit out of the way for transportation."

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The nicest hotel we stayed at in Japan. Breakfast was AMAZING. Definitely get a room plan with Breakfast. You get choice of a western egg dish, plus a very high quality buffet. We had dinner twice at the restaurant and both meals were great. We also had a rooftop cocktail. The staff was very helpful with our luggage forwarding, as well. Laundry facilities were very nice. Beds were super comfortable. Fabulous location. Walking distance to Yasaka and Kiyomizu. We rented e-bikes from the hotel and had a great day and covered a ton of ground."

Dhawa Yura Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"A Peaceful, Elegant Haven in Kyoto Our stay at Dhawa Yura Kyoto (Oct 8–10) exceeded all expectations. The subtle, welcoming fragrance as you walk in sets the tone for a sparkling clean and serene experience. The service was flawless—the staff were exceptionally warm, efficient, and eager to help with anything we needed. We loved the aesthetic of our room, which felt authentically traditional while seamlessly integrating top-tier modern amenities. Plus, the location is unbeatable—a short walk to key transit hubs, great shopping, and delicious dining options. We can't wait to return!"

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed the convenience of the location. It was right across the street from shopping and down the street from major shopping. The employees were very helpful. They stored our luggage before we checked in held it until we departed hours after checkout and helped set up luggage forwarding service. The size of the rooms were larger than I expected. The couch sitting area was much welcomed and allowed for our group to relax and spend time together in the evenings. I also like the free whiskey that was given on a daily basis and the unlimited tea from the dispenser in the lobby."
