Top Kenninji Temple Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was so lovely! The room was large comfortable and clean, the service was amazing and the onsen was really clean and enjoyable. Free matcha and coffee all day and night as well as ramen evening snack"

Kyoto Granbell Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A warm welcome, a comfortable lobby area, and they held her bag so we could go off exploring Kyoto on our first morning. Every staff interaction was lovely. The room had everything we needed. We enjoyed the own sense! The lobby bar was perfect for a cocktail on the way out or on the way back in in the evening. Location was great for getting around everywhere. Definitely would stay there again!"

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is beautiful and staff very helpful and respectful. Will stay here again. Centrally located to the markets and all."

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in Kyoto. They offer amazing toiletries/guest amenities!!!"

THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious rooms, great location."

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. We loved the rooftop restaurant and bar. The coffee shop and bakery were wonderful in the morning. Staff were terrific and helped us book a car and driver for a day sightseeing."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"Solario Hotel, Kyoto: great location, pricey for what you get The location is the standout. It's easy to reach the main sights and getting around the city is simple, which makes it a very convenient base for exploring Kyoto. The rest of the stay was solid: everything was pretty good and nothing really let us down. The one drawback is value. Given what the room rate was, I expected a bit more, and it could be better for the price. Still, if location is your priority, it's hard to beat. Verdict: Recommended for the location. Just go in knowing the price is on the high side."

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast"

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is brand new and in pristine condition, but there were some notable operational quirks. It doesn’t seem like management is able to decide whether this is a luxury property or a select service hotel - even though there were two reception desks staffed at all times, the staff were actively pushing customers to use the three self-service kiosks for all operations (check-in, breakfast coupons, check-out) and actually doing the work for them on those machines. Not sure what the point of that was or whether it should be the case in a luxury property. Similarly, the public bath in the basement is pretty underwhelming, if pristine. All that said, the rooms were spotless, staff were very helpful and spoke English impeccably, and breakfast was great both in terms of food selection and quality."
