Caesar Gion Kyoto

Komatsucho, 0.3 km from Kenninji Temple

"This was the perfect hotel for me and my teenaged son. We were close to a lot of the sites I wanted to see and a quick bus ride from the heart of Kyoto that he wanted to experience. The hotel itself was charming and spacious. Especially after spending a few days in Tokyo, the room felt massive. Two double beds, a living area with TV, separate WC and separate tub/shower. The staff was enthusiastic and cheerful. I can’t recommend this place highly enough! Superb hotel!"

Top Kenninji Temple Hotel Reviews

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

10/10 Excellent

"I love my stay at the Forza hotel, excellent place, amazing service. The hotel is near of the bus and métro stations."

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

"Everything about the hotel was great, cleanliness to amenities. Five out of five, Staff did not give the usual Japan vibe, that smiling, cheerful and offering help. A very lovely hotel I have already recommended to my family who are planning a trip. Breakfast is the best. Bar is also great"

Cross Hotel Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Breakfasts are great. The elevators are fast. The bathroom areas are fine. AC is quiet. However, there is no good place to set your laptop and there are not enough electrical outlets. With minimal redesign, my room could have much more functional. Just replace the little loveseat next to the bed with a real desk and chair."

Kyoto Granbell Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is the 2nd time I’ve been to this property. This time we went we with our teenage girls. And booked two separate rooms. Pro: Location is awesome. You walk 5 minutes & you are right on main street where you can see Geishas. There’s restaurants everywhere. Tight next door is a yakitori and high end wagyu restaurant. Walking distance to trains as well. Room is basic, better than some others. In Kyoto, it’s either high end, $800+ per night or really yucky hotels. Granbell is affordable but still decent. Con: Rooms are small. They don’t offer room service every day. Breakfast is okay. This property does not have adjoining rooms but we were able to get rooms on same floor. Net net, I would return for the location alone."
