Top Biwako Valley Hotel Reviews

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Kyoto Oike

10/10 Excellent

"One of my best stay in Japan. The room is spacious, for the Japanese standard, and ver comfortable. The staff is great and the location Is good. Close to transportation, bars and restaurants. Also, it is close but not in the middle of the crowd."

Agora Place Kyoto Nijo

8/10 Good

"I liked that we were near a castle but we were also close to a hospital and we could hear the ambulance all nights."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"Solario Hotel, Kyoto: great location, pricey for what you get The location is the standout. It's easy to reach the main sights and getting around the city is simple, which makes it a very convenient base for exploring Kyoto. The rest of the stay was solid: everything was pretty good and nothing really let us down. The one drawback is value. Given what the room rate was, I expected a bit more, and it could be better for the price. Still, if location is your priority, it's hard to beat. Verdict: Recommended for the location. Just go in knowing the price is on the high side."
