Top Gion Shirakawa Area Hotel Reviews

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were fantastic and super helpful, Perfectly positioned location"

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The Nohga Hotel is truly exceptional! The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. The hotel is immaculate and beautifully designed. The rooftop is comfortable and inviting. The breakfast was delicious with more than enough variety. The location is perfect with bus and metro stops nearby making it easy to navigate anywhere we wanted to go. We absolutely loved our stay and highly recommend this hotel."

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!"
