1. Shikikaboku

Higashiyama Ward, 0.7 km from Kyoto Municipal Zoo

"The hotel was in a peaceful location of Kyoto very close to the Philosophers path and surrounding temples. The roof terrace and complimentary happy hour drinks was a wonderful edition at the end of long day of sight seeing to soak up the views and relax. The breakfast was excellent - a perfect balance of fresh vegetables, baked bread and fruit and yogurt. And the staff were so helpful with local restaurant recommendations. Would definately recommend"

Top Kyoto Municipal Zoo Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Stunning, modern hotel. Great breakfast. The only downside was the rooftop bar had very limited seating and not enough staff to service the numbers such a disappointment as that was one of the reasons we chose this hotel."

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Could do better on their coffee station Not much there"

THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous hotel staff amazing breakfast great"

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

"Second stay ^as good as ebfore. PErfect location for getting places but quiet and comfortable"

The Westin Miyako Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hosting, clean, staff are extremely helpful and friendly."

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!!"

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Kabuki room decor is awesome! Location is very convenient. The facial amenities already provided in room were very much appreciated. Although laundry machines are available, I would discourage use of dryer due to its limited (1/2 load) capacity. Overall, our stay was excellent!"

Dhawa Yura Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Another great stay! Always a pleasure."

TASSEL HOTEL Sanjo Shirakawa

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Tassel Hotel. It is stylish and well located along the canal. The neighborhood is quiet but very walkable to major sites and steps away from an underground train station. We would definitely (hopefully!) stay hereagain."
