Top Motoyoshichō Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"The room was smaller than expected, it was difficult for four of us with suitcases. We also couldn’t get the air to stay on cool. Sleeping was pretty uncomfortable due to this, including the firmness of the pillows. With that being said the staff was incredible, the baths were lovely and the free amenities were a nice touch. I would recommend to smaller groups, and I probably book separate rooms if you’re friends."

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Short subway from Kyoto station. We did not use amenities. Room was clean and quiet and large enough for my me and my adult daughter. The elevators were busy and slow at times. I also wanted to order take away or room service from the hotel restaurant and they said no."

THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"Definitely one of favorites from the whole trip. Easy walk to everything. Unfortunately didn’t get a chance to eat at the restaurant, so can’t comment. Was always fully booked though. So definitely book in advance. Staff were very helpful and welcoming! The hotel itself is located opposite an emergency services dispatch station. So sirens can be heard at unusual times during the night, otherwise it is super quiet. I would 100% recommend and will return for my next stay."

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the coffee/tea machine in the lobby and the cup of sake at night. Also pleased to have the lobby dining area to relax around in the evening with our group. Grateful for the bath crystals the hotel provided to soak in the tub too. The only negative for me was the distance to the subway was a longer walk than I would have preferred."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

"I really enjoyed this hotel. I will be back for sure if we get a chance to visit kyoto again someday. I love how close it is to nishiki market, but also transit to other places was super close. Only thing I noticed was the front end staff were surface level polite, but when I asked for help a few times they got frustrated with me. Only way I could tell is they made my questions feel dumb and honestly they probably were, but in my case, navigating their luggage delivery service was new to me since we dont have this where I live and it took my a few tries to navigate their site. I think the staff were friendly enough, but didnt have a lot of patience if you didnt understand something or had questions. Tbh I only asked like 2 questions l, but who knows, maybe they had a lot that day."
