"We had an exceptional experience at the Garrya Nijo Castle hotel. The team at the front desk as well as the team in the on-site restaurant went over and above at every opportunity to ensure we were well served. The location is convenient to public transit, and it’s proximity to the core of Kyoto meant we were only a 10 to 20 minute transit ride from almost anything we wanted to do or see in Kyoto."

Top Nijō Castle Hotel Reviews

Ace Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Stylish hotel, helpful staff staff and funky decor. The record player in the room was a lovely touch and we played all of our records at least once (Gloria Gaynor was a favourite) even if it took me a while to remember how to operate one!"

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"Great place!"

Garrya Nijo Castle Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"Pros: - The rooms were spacious compared to most Japanese hotel rooms. It was nice to have a more traditional tatami style room. - The breakfast buffet had an incredible selection to choose from. There’s a bit of a wait depending on when you go, but it goes rather quickly. - Late night unlimited ramen from 9pm-11pm was also a nice touch. We loved being able to eat a light meal after a long day of exploring. - Onsen access is really nice, with massage chairs available for use. And unlimited ice cream every night was also really delicious. Cons: - Having guests take off their shoes at the lobby makes the place smell like feet. It’s pretty gross since it was raining when we were there so it was a mix of wet socks and feet stench. They should at least require that people wear hotel rooms slippers. - The onsen was really dirty from the amount of people that would use the facilities. It was overcrowded and packed during the night time. Overall, I’d stay at this hotel again, but refrain from using public facilities. It’s almost impossible to keep the public areas clean and free of smells since there are so many guests."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at this hotel. Everything was clean, the staff were thoughtful and helpful and our needs were met. I want to share that the hotel smells great! I saw some recent reviews that there was a bad odor coming from the hotel. If this was a recent problem, it's been addressed. As of mid-October, everything looked new and smelled great."
