Top Motoyoshichō Hotel Reviews

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

8/10 Good

"The location was excellent, just across the JR station. Room was nice, spacious and clean. The only issue was the internet connection was so bad that we can’t use at all. Towels are a little beaten up and old. Changing and upgrading the towels would be nice."

HOTEL ELCIENT KYOTO HACHIJOGUCHI

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were super friendly, helpful and spoke great English, they helped me check in and manage the parking situation seamlessly. The material quality, cleanliness and comfort of the hotel was top-notch. Although I didn't use the public onsen-style bath, I like that they provided clear and visible explanations on the signage and QR code / Wi-Fi about the correct protocols for using it. I would have used it if I had time. The buffet breakfast looked fabulous but was above my budget so I didn't use it, but that's fine. One feedback I would have is about microwaves - As a westerner, a microwave is a staple amenity that I need almost every time I stay at a hotel. This hotel only offered two which is few given the capacity of the hotel, and they were both in the west wing so I had to walk to-and-from the west wing 4th floor (from east wing 6th floor) with my food. also, the microwave was small, old and dirty. This is my only constructive criticism, everything else about the hotel was excellent and I would certainly stay there again."
