"We stayed in Room number one. It was incredible. It was such a wonderful experience to stay in a historic building that had modern amenities and a lot of space. The room decorations and sliding doors were beautiful. The living room overlooks the garden. Everything was clean. It was nice to have the communal food area to grab coffee in the morning and a light meal. Be aware that the room entrance for the room is right next to the lobby. There are stairs to climb to get up to the room. We will...

Cross Hotel Kyoto

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

Hilton Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

Hearton Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel room itself was very spacious compared to your typical Japanese hotel room, it was clean and aesthetically pleasing. The staff were amazing too! They treated us so well and answered any question we had. We had such a good experience at this hotel."

Kyoto Garden Palace

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at the Kyoto Garden Inn. It was a little bit out of the way for seeing all the different attractions in Kyoto. The room was clean and the staff was friendly. We would recommend this hotel to all our friends."

Kyoto Brighton Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are EXCELLENT ! The hotel is far from everything and although you have shuttle service, you have to deal with the subway... or a taxi. Staff is very nice but unfortunately they don't speak English well enough to understand you... this problem is not only at this hotel, is everywhere!!"

Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Easy to navigate and spacious room!"

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was awesome! Friendly and helpful staff. The onsen was a nice experience. The room was large for a Japan hotel. The only room for improvement feedback I have is to have them have more washer and dryer machines. I had to wait 50 minutes just to get a washer. The dryer setting on the first cycle doesn’t dry clothes so two other people in front of me had to do another dry cycle. I also had to do an extra dry cycle. It was a little ridiculous having to wait so long to do some laundry. I think there could be a better system or more machines for guests. The location was perfect! Right next to a train and subway station which made it super easy to get around to all of our destinations. There is also tons of shopping and wonderful restaurants in walking distance. Overall, this was our favorite place that we stayed at on our trip. It was very nice!!"
