"ホテルの顔である玄関の自動ドアの電源が切れてて、手動を強要してる。 Wifiが使えるか聞いたら、ロビー近くしか使えないといわれた。にも拘わらず部屋にランケーブルも無ければ、言わないと貸してくれない。大荷物持ってるのに階段でどうぞ！と言われた。（エレベーターもあるのに）部屋の鍵が解りにくいのに説明なし。（鍵を回しながらドアを押さないと開かない）ホテルの門限23時。歴史的には有名な地である点と川の中州に建てられたホテルなので景色は良いけど、何もなくて不便だった… フロントも居たり居なかったり、呼び鈴を押すタイプ。愛想は悪くなかったけど、シルバー人材センターのアルバイトって感じだった。掃除はよくされてたけど、施設は古く快適とはいいがたかった… 眺望は良かったけど、リピートはしないな。"

Top Ishiyamadera Temple Hotel Reviews

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

8/10 Good

"Great location, 16 minutes by train to most shrines or a 20-30 minute walk. Across from the Kyoto station. Near some good hole in the wall places with great food (cash only places). There’s a great multi level shopping mall next door. Could’ve used more mirrors, shower did change temperatures while using it, bathroom was small, especially for having the only sink."

The Westin Miyako Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely breakfast, wonderful Onsen, and easy walk to Gion district and sights (with shuttle access to metro and train station)."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Everything is good"

Hotel Boston Plaza Kusatsu

8/10 Good

"雨の日でしたが、駅から殆ど傘も使わずにホテルのドアまで行ける便利さが嬉しかったです。ただ設備が少し今のニーズに合っていないように思いました。例えば最近のホテルには備えられているUSBのチャージポートがベッド傍にも見当たらないようでした。利用したお部屋がある貫"

Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto

"部屋が綺麗で良いホテルでした"

Kyoto Universal Hotel Karasuma

10/10 Excellent

"It was a nice little Place for what I needed. I spent most of the time traveling around but it was good for a place to sleep and shower. The breakfast was good early in the morning and they do offer Dinner too but I did not take advantage because of the good food in Japan."

Toyoko Inn Kyoto Biwako Otsu

10/10 Excellent

"Toyoko Hotels are usually great. They are clean, convenient, and affordable, and they tend to have lots of useful amenities or people who might have forgotten to bring something like a toothbrush or razor. This particular hotel has a really convenient location that's a short walk from several train stations and from a couple of very charming and pleasant shopping arcades. Miidera (三井寺) and Lake Biwa (琵琶湖) are also manageable walks. Otsu is a lovely and underrated city, and this hotel is in a really nice part of the city."
