Top Heian Shrine Hotel Reviews

THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was very nice, beautiful environment, very calming and relaxing. Staff was very helpful and the room was always very clean. Breakfast was great but it was the same everyday. Shuttle service was very convenient."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"I wish there was more massage chairs and a 24 soda dispenser rather than just only forming dining hours. I loved the Yalkut and ramen bar."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and nice breakfast buffet. The exclusive lounge was also nice, but food was not replenished quickly. Great staff and well maintained hotel."

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

"Très bon emplacement, et très bon rapport qualité prix"

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"This property was walking distance to a bunch of markets such as Nishiki, Termachi, etc. There are lots to do around the area and very close to Kamo river with restaurants. I got sick when I got to Kyoto so the staff gave me English speaking medical clinics around the area. The property is nice and has laundry downstairs but there is a long wait time as everyone is trying to wash/dry their clothes. The breakfast is decent even though it is a bit pricey for Japan I would say. But there are variety of food. We also upgraded our room upon check in to have more space and they were able to accommodate pretty quickly."

"Air conditioning isnt good ,beds are old and not firm"

Hotel Resol Trinity Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Such an amazing place to stay. The staff were great and spoke fluent English. The room was also great with a comfy bed. The hotel was near all the shopping and dining areas, within walkable distance, and all the sightseeing was a short train ride away. I would book this place in a heartbeat on my next trip."
