"I had the most wonderful stay in Kyoto at this charming hotel. It has the traditional Japanese feel, but doesn’t feel dated; they did a beautiful job with the interiors. Also I needed to send a bag to a residential address in Tokyo and since their partner only delivers to hotels, Julie went above and beyond to help me figure out the best way to do it on my own and she even filled the form in Japanese for me. I will most definitely be staying here again whenever I’m back in Kyoto."

Top Gion Shirakawa Area Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Cocin restaurant food was amazing! Shower was great but in room coffee was awful and there was no sugar or cream. The coffee in the coffee shop was good but the service was not so good. She had a scowl on her face maybe she doesn’t like her job. The service on the roof was exceptional! The front desk staff also lovely."

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel room was bigger than the average, bathroom is modern and clean. The location is perfect right at the entrance of their big indoor shopping area that connect to the main tourist food street. One thing is there’s only 4 washer and 4 dryers. The washers are fast but the dryers are slow so people end up waiting in line like crazy around 9pm til midnight so do your laundry early when it’s empty"

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"The room was a good size for Japan. We really liked the washroom set up..the fact that the toilet was in a separate room and there was a Japanese style washing area. It was great to have a sliding door to separate the two spaces. Storage was ample. The location was great for shopping and the hotel was quiet. We liked the lounge area in the other part with free coffee and soft drinks. The washing machines were greatly appreciated. Although they had check in machines there was always staff at the front desk to help with inquiries. Would definitely stay here again. Good value!! I’m"
