Top Biwako Valley Hotel Reviews

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel great staff"

Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Amazing location- can walk to nearly all central attractions and close to transit. On a quieter street which is great. Kind staff. Breakfast leaves a lot to be desired- not worth the cost"

Hearton Hotel Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Clean room, towels were a bit thin! But the 5 night stay was good! Breakfast variety was great though super busy with tour groups!"

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

"Très bon emplacement, et très bon rapport qualité prix"

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"This property was walking distance to a bunch of markets such as Nishiki, Termachi, etc. There are lots to do around the area and very close to Kamo river with restaurants. I got sick when I got to Kyoto so the staff gave me English speaking medical clinics around the area. The property is nice and has laundry downstairs but there is a long wait time as everyone is trying to wash/dry their clothes. The breakfast is decent even though it is a bit pricey for Japan I would say. But there are variety of food. We also upgraded our room upon check in to have more space and they were able to accommodate pretty quickly."

Agora Place Kyoto Nijo

8/10 Good

"Clean, modern hotel with helpful staff. Was really close to a bus stop so it was easy to get around. Would stay here again."

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."

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Kyoto Oike

10/10 Excellent

"I was recently in Kyoto for a solo trip and this was the perfect place to stay! Great location, easily accessible by walking, bus, and train. The rooms are small but they work well for solo travel at the price point! I would highly recommend"

Hotel Resol Trinity Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Such an amazing place to stay. The staff were great and spoke fluent English. The room was also great with a comfy bed. The hotel was near all the shopping and dining areas, within walkable distance, and all the sightseeing was a short train ride away. I would book this place in a heartbeat on my next trip."
