Top Kounji Temple Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic stay here! Everything was fantastic, the room was very clean and the bed was really comfortable. The shower was maybe the best shower I’ve ever used, the pressure and temperature was amazing!! Well located, breakfast was very tasty, the on site bakery was a big plus too. Would highly recommend!"

THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was beautifully decorated and rooms were spacious- especially having spent previous nights in smaller rooms elsewhere. The hotel is a bit further from train stations but hotel has a shuttle available every hour that made it very easy to go back and forth. Would def stay again."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

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

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

10/10 Excellent

"Location was great"

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."

The Westin Miyako Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Very happy would visit again and recommend!"

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."

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."
