Top Motoyoshichō Hotel Reviews

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very nice, I am not used to a shower that has a gap allowing water to go on the floor. It’s okay when you realize it’s there"

Hotel Granvia Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Beautiful property. Rooms were spacious and clean. Staff was extremely gracious and helpful and most spoke okay English. Food was atrociously expensive (we ordered half a sandwich and fries (about 15), and a cup of coffee (no refills) and it came to about $40 USD. Breakfast buffet was 5,000 yen. A cup of coffee was 1,500 yen, or about 7 USD."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"First time staying and would stay again!! Everything felt lux and clean, all the staff were so nice and very helpfull. Most if not all spoke pretty good English but even so they were all very patient. We got the room with a built in laundry machine and it was amazing very spacious n handy. Really would recommend"

APA Hotel Kyoto Eki Horikawadori

10/10 Excellent

"Travelled with my wife for the first time to Japan; for the price, we were impressed. Room felt a little crammed at times but was manageable. Staff was extremely friendly and ensured we were comfortable. Room had air conditioning and the bed/pillows were more comfortable than my own. Close to Kyoto Station which saved us time and energy which you would need to travel any places you planned to visit/hike. Would stay here again."
