Top Hounji Temple Hotel Reviews

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!"

Prince Smart Inn Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, modern rooms that are well designed to maximize ease of use. Rooms now even have air purifiers. Shower/toilet/sink all separate so good if sharing room. Location is central to most popular tourist destinations and within walking distance to multiple public transportation options. The only fault is the laundry. They are there but are the combo washer / dryer machines that do neither well. Go to coin laundry instead."

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Kyoto, with so many beautiful places and things to see and enjoy nearby. The staff were lovely, friendly, and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Our room was also in great condition, clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. We’d happily stay here again when we’re back in Kyoto."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

"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."
