Top Heian Shrine Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel well maintained, breakfast was amazing and restaurant in hotel for dinner was lovely as well! it was raining during our stay so rooftop bar was closed but would love to come back and see it next time!"

The Westin Miyako Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hosting, clean, staff are extremely helpful and friendly."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was awesome! Friendly and helpful staff. The onsen was a nice experience. The room was large for a Japan hotel. The only room for improvement feedback I have is to have them have more washer and dryer machines. I had to wait 50 minutes just to get a washer. The dryer setting on the first cycle doesn’t dry clothes so two other people in front of me had to do another dry cycle. I also had to do an extra dry cycle. It was a little ridiculous having to wait so long to do some laundry. I think there could be a better system or more machines for guests. The location was perfect! Right next to a train and subway station which made it super easy to get around to all of our destinations. There is also tons of shopping and wonderful restaurants in walking distance. Overall, this was our favorite place that we stayed at on our trip. It was very nice!!"

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Kabuki room decor is awesome! Location is very convenient. The facial amenities already provided in room were very much appreciated. Although laundry machines are available, I would discourage use of dryer due to its limited (1/2 load) capacity. Overall, our stay was excellent!"

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Super nice. Close to the station and everything is nearby."

Dhawa Yura Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Another great stay! Always a pleasure."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is beautiful. You can feel the Kyoto vibe throughout the lobby all the way to the rooms with the details and quality and material of the building. Loved our stay and would love to come back. Great location too."

Hotel Resol Trinity Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Such an amazing place to stay. The staff were great and spoke fluent English. The room was also great with a comfy bed. The hotel was near all the shopping and dining areas, within walkable distance, and all the sightseeing was a short train ride away. I would book this place in a heartbeat on my next trip."
