"Nice place."

Annex Japanese-style room / Garden view | Blackout drapes, free WiFi, bed sheets

"It was a wonderful stay, a nice experience in a Japanese house. Mama and Papa are so kind and generous, very welcoming, and the place is so cosy and charming. I'd happily come back and stay here! 😊🤗 "

"This is an absolutely great hostel - brand new, very clean, spacious ground floor (this is the common area) but maybe not enough seating when the hostel is fully booked (add a couch?). One can feel that everything is brand new, my room (8 people dorm) had a top light and bottom lights (next to the beds) for the night, which I thought was great. The bed is very comfortable and you can choose between three or four types of pillows (sic!)! My bed had a total of 3 power outlets + 1 USB port + my own...

Double Room, Shared Bathroom | Down comforters, in-room safe, blackout drapes, iron/ironing board

"Está padrisimo que sea un alojamiento de mas de 100 años, sin embargo la estancia en si deja mucho que desear y lo que mas me incomodó fue que nos cobraran el uso de las toallas cuando es un recurso en todos los servicios de hospedaje. Las colchonetas me parecieron sumamente incómodas, es un alojamiento para chicos de menos de 30 años. La regadera es sumamente peligrosa y bueno el aire acondicionado no funciona como promete la descripción y en reemplazo colocan un ventilador de...

Top Kyoto Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great hotel that had a very comfortable bed and the room was very quiet. It is located reasonably close to the busier tourist sites (15-20 minute walk) but provides a place of calm should you wish to escape. The main floor bakery / cafe is excellent (fabulous focaccia) and the restaurant / bar on the rooftop is also fantastic. Other amenities such as the gym (small but decent) and laundry (very easy to use) are nice features. "

Hotel Granvia Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very conveniently located within the main train station. Not at all noisy though. It’s clean and comfortable. Staff at check in were very efficient. Check-in and check-out is super quick and easy even though there were morning queues being a convention hotel. Would definitely recommend if staying in Kyoto and want to get around the city. "

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Located only a couple of blocks from the main train station, this hotel was a great pick. Incredibly clean as you must take your shoes off at the entrance and roll your luggage through water before entering the lobby, and your room. The variety of hot springs baths you can choose from and the extras, such as evening noodles, ice creams and massage chairs make this a great place for families to stay. There are a number of reasonably priced restaurants nearby along with a token Don Quijote just down the street. Also on the same road as public buses 205 and 206 which take you to the tourist attractions such as the golden Pavillon. "
