Hilton Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Really stellar place and friendly to American travelers, especially single women"

The Westin Miyako Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is incredible. The scent and atmosphere set the tone the moment you walk in, and the breakfast and bakery are a highlight. Even the shower is worth the stay! The rooftop is the perfect finishing touch. I'd return in a heartbeat."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente ubicación Cuartos amplios y muy cómodos todo muy bien pensando Me volvería a quedar aquí"

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"Very good stay"

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

"This hotel was mainly for the location, and the location is awesome for shopping. The room and hotel itself were okay. The rooms are a little outdated, and the beds had a few minor stains on the blankets, nothing that was terrible (all of our group had some kind of stain on the blankets in every room) but definitely made an impact on our visit to the hotel. The premium lounge is awesome, but located directly next to a smoking area, and was often just filled with smoke, which made it so we never went. Again the location is 100% worth it, and if you just want to use it as we did as a place to sleep while shopping in Kyoto, then its awesome."

THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Has a shuttle bus from Kyoto station. Hotel Higayama"
