Top Saimyoji Temple Hotel Reviews

Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto - Kyoritsu Resort

10/10 Excellent

"A relaxing and serene hotel in a beautiful setting! The private baths were fantastic. The restaurant had little private dining rooms. Don’t forget to take a walk down to the river and over the bridge to the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. So happy I booked this place - an oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of Kyoto!"

Ryokan Yamazaki

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice Ryokan! Slightly removed from the core but there are 2 buses that regularly go into town so its not a huge issue. We stayed in the private room on the lower floor with the private zen garden, highly recommend if its available as it was amazing for late night drinks, and the sounds of night and the river that runs beside the ryokan. A must stay for a traditional experience! One Laundry + dryer on site for a small charge (plus you need to buy a detergent packet from the front desk, 200yen). The Japanese style breakfast was delicious, make sure you let the staff know the day before if youd like to have it, its 1500yen per person and well worth it! Will definitely be staying here again next time."

Hotel Excellence Enmachi Ekimae

Suiran, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property and great location"

Hotel Sagano - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Didn’t know it was a ‘love hotel’ when I ordered but still had fun. The staff are very nice and accommodating. Breakfast was fair, instant coffee/tea in the room available. Kettle was very useful as we had ramen every night. You have to talk with Google Translate to the receptionist. The strangest part was the door system: to go in or out you have to call the reception, which wasn’t very convenient. The window was very small and you cannot fully open it. Otherwise, excellent experience. The room is huge, bathtub and shower is in a giant separate room ( not sure why). "
