"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...

Top Saionji Temple Hotel Reviews

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"We started five nights. Very friendly staff and helpful. The location is accessible to many restaurants and shopping centers. We loved the onsen bath which was a plus after a long day sightseeing. However I’d prefer a larger closet. Only thing was the closet size. I recommend the premier and up if you are looking for larger room. All and all I’d start there again."

Hyatt Place Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean. The breakfast was lovely by offering a little something that was appealing for people from around the globe. Staff were helpful. The only negative is the laundry did not dry clothes completely after many cycles. Overall great place to stay. Great location."

Kyoto Brighton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My second stay at Kyoto Brighton. Love the atrium hall and the comfortable cafeteria which I use very often for lunch and teatime. The manner of each staff is perfect! The room is very clean and comfortable, The Japanese style breakfast has various tasty plates. Some plates were a little bit salty, but the kombu tea eye-opner was equisite! The buffet style dinner was enjoyable. It will be perfect if there were more variety of wine, both in bottles and glasses. Looking forward to seeing the renewal opening in two years!"
