Top Shugakuin Imperial Villa Hotel Reviews

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very well kept and the staff were lovely and very helpful!"

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"An ideal location with a fantastic breakfast to start your day. We were a family of 3 adults and the room was ideally laid out with 3 twin beds. Most hotels for 3 adults are ill-arranged with the the additional bed behind shoved in to fill the space but this was ideal and felt like a room for 3 adults. The entire staff was courteous and attentive. Overall a very comfortable stay and would definitely return if in the Kyoto area."

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Definitely a top notch very modern hotel experience ! The breakfast included not only a selection of various egg dishes but also offers a wonderful selection of freshly baked French bakery items. A wide selection of fresh salads and fruit round out the buffet offers. Room as well as amenities are 4 star level and truly provide their guests with a very modern and comfortable stay. One of the best hotels that I stayed in on my trip."

The Westin Miyako Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Very happy would visit again and recommend!"

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"Very clean and quiet hotel with great staff! Walking distance to subway station, shopping, and dining area."

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Great location with nice, but not big room. Breakfast is good , traditional Japanese food. There are options for continental breakfast as well. From this location, everything is walking dustance: Gion district, restaurants, shopping, subway station."

Hilton Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was so sweet and helpful. The room was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. The breakfast buffet had everything you could ask for. This was our first time in Japan and we both agreed at the end of our stay that the next time we come back we will be staying here once again, but next time for longer."

The Prince Kyoto Takaragaike, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"It was an amazing experience at Prince Kyoto. The view from the room was breath taking. It’s one of the best experiences I have had staying at this hotel. The staff was extremely polite and went above and beyond to help. We enjoyed their hospitality and kindness. Love to stay here again in future."

Hotel Okura Kyoto Okazaki Bettei

10/10 Excellent

"The room was really nice. Very spacious and beautifully designed. Our room appeared to be one of two rooms overlooking a car park but that didn’t bother us. It was a bonus to be able to log in to Netflix at the end of long days touring and making use of the hotel’s happy hour between 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm. There’s easy access to their garden. We didn’t eat at their restaurant and the breakfast option did seem a bit pricey. All staff were very friendly and professional. We would definitely stay there again and certainly recommend."
