Top Gion Shirakawa Area Hotel Reviews

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and nice. The only issue was the air conditioner turned off over night and had to be restarted. Not sure if that was on purpose or my error"

The Millennials Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, especially for solo travellers! I had a great experience staying at The Millennials Kyoto and would definitely recommend it, especially to solo travellers! The location is fantastic, and the whole place is really well thought out. The pods are surprisingly comfortable and spacious for a capsule-style hotel. Each pod has an iPod that stays plugged into a little stand on the wall, which you use to control the lighting and adjust your bed from a flat bed into a sofa. Such a cool feature! The shared facilities are great, and there’s a common area with a kitchen where you can prepare food, eat, relax and meet other travellers. Just something to keep in mind when booking: you’re not allowed to eat inside your pod. The breakfast is small but really good! If you don’t want to worry about finding somewhere to eat in the morning and just want something quick before heading out, it’s a great option. Just keep in mind that breakfast is only available from 7:30 to 9:30 AM. My one little warning (and I learned this the hard way 😂) is about the rolling luggage storage underneath the bed. It’s super convenient, especially if you’re travelling with a large suitcase, but be careful when pulling it out because those wheels really hurt when they roll over your feet! Definitely keep your shoes or slippers on! Overall, I really enjoyed my stay. It’s a great combination of privacy, comfort and the opportunity to meet other travellers. I would absolutely stay here again!"
