Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"2eme séjour dans cet hotel, toujours aussi bien. Idéalement placé entre les commerces/restaurants et Gion, près des transports. Propre, moderne. La suite japonaise est spacieuse et agréable avec son espace tatami, idéal pour les familles."

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"I would highly recommend this hotel and would stay again. The room was very sleek clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly. The bakery in the lobby was a quick easy way to grab a quick tasty bite before going out for the day. Rooftop bar was very nice. It’s located near the more traditional neighborhood , and was about a 20 minute very pleasant walk to the lively night life district / pontocho alley area. It was a short walk from Kiyomizu dera temple which was awesome to visit . Only downside was it was a bit far from Kyoto station, and with our bags, we opted to take a taxi every time we went to and from. There were some smaller metro stations close by but some of the larger ones to get to the big attractions we taxied to. Overall a small inconvenience and would still likely stay here again!!! "
