"This was the perfect hotel for me and my teenaged son. We were close to a lot of the sites I wanted to see and a quick bus ride from the heart of Kyoto that he wanted to experience. The hotel itself was charming and spacious. Especially after spending a few days in Tokyo, the room felt massive. Two double beds, a living area with TV, separate WC and separate tub/shower. The staff was enthusiastic and cheerful. I can’t recommend this place highly enough! Superb hotel!"

Top Otani Sobyo Hotel Reviews

THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"The Blossom Kyoto is a beautiful, calming oasis with a delicious breakfast, extremely comfortable beds, lovely spacious rooms, refreshments, a gym and even an amazing onsen. We had the most wonderful, relaxing stay and will return for sure. There were six of us and we all agreed that this was our favourite stay in Japan by far."

Cross Hotel Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Breakfasts are great. The elevators are fast. The bathroom areas are fine. AC is quiet. However, there is no good place to set your laptop and there are not enough electrical outlets. With minimal redesign, my room could have much more functional. Just replace the little loveseat next to the bed with a real desk and chair."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is in a great location for tourism in Kyoto; very short walk across the river to the old Geisha district, and right on a major shopping/restaraunt thoroughfare. Also within walking distance of the subway line that serves the Mt. Inari area. The room was sizeable by Japanese hotel standards, and included a very spacious shower and full bath. Everything was very clean and the air conditioning worked well. The room was also quiet and well-insulated."

Hotel The Celestine Kyoto Gion

10/10 Excellent

"I had an excellent stay and would definitely stay here again! The room was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help whenever I had a question. The location was convenient, with shops and restaurants nearby, which made exploring the area easy. Overall, the property exceeded my expectations and made my trip even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area and look forward to returning in the future."

THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel. The staff was extremely helpful, as expected in a quality Japanese hotel. Even some of our unique requests were handled perfectly. The breakfast had both Japanese and western options; whatever you wanted, it was there. And most people spoke about how good quality it was. The room was great. Robes, slippers, beautiful pyjamas. Massive bathtub and excellent hot shower. Finally the location was excellent. A few minutes walk to higashiyama train station, a few more to sanjo station. The entire gion area is a few minutes walk, with all of the parks and temples and everything beautiful. Very highly recommended. I would go again."

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel opposite Kyoto Station so very handy. Room was spacious which is unusual in Japan. Had a laundry room which was only ¥600 to use although we had to hang up clothes in room as it didn't dry them completely. Loads of good restaurants nearby in station (who would have thought) as well as combinis. Several shopping malls close by as well. Overall a good hotel and one I'd stay at again."
