"The hotel was in a peaceful location of Kyoto very close to the Philosophers path and surrounding temples. The roof terrace and complimentary happy hour drinks was a wonderful edition at the end of long day of sight seeing to soak up the views and relax. The breakfast was excellent - a perfect balance of fresh vegetables, baked bread and fruit and yogurt. And the staff were so helpful with local restaurant recommendations. Would definately recommend"

Top Heian Shrine Hotel Reviews

THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO. The location was one of the biggest highlights—very convenient for exploring Kyoto, with so many restaurants, shops, and attractions within easy reach. The hotel itself is beautiful, with incredible views of the city. Each night, we loved ending our evening at the hotel bar, relaxing with a drink and taking in the view. It became one of our favorite little rituals during the trip. The amenities and guest experiences were also such a nice touch. During our stay, we were able to enjoy a complimentary show, along with s’mores and wine for guests. Beautiful property, thoughtful amenities, amazing views, and an excellent location. I would absolutely stay here again on a future trip to Kyoto."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Attention to detail. Their facilities were top notch and very clean. 9-11 Ramen + Ice Cream was very good!"

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"Good location. Excellent breakfast buffet."

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel close to all transportation to attractions . Great breakfast, too."

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Really good hotel and great food!"

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"Mitsui Garden Sanjo Premier is an excellent hotel. The amenities are great and their on site cheese factory raises the bar on the level of excellence for their food. Everything is as you would expect a hotel stay in Japan to be."

Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Our family stayed at Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto and it was lovely! The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff were helpful and accommodating, overall I would highly recommend anyone coming to Kyoto to stay here! :) I also had a little incident with the hair dryer and I told the staff when I was checking out. I told them to charge it to the room but they were not concerned about that, they asked me if I had burned myself. They were so thoughtful to this clumsy tourist!"

The Westin Miyako Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Our issue was very specific and might not affect most. There were limited gluten free options in the restaurants for lunch and dinner. Although you can convince a chef in other places to grill fish or steak easily, it was not an option here, at least in the common restaurant. Breakfast was better. They had gluten free bread and many options. Also, all restaurants (there are two other special ones) close rather early. But other than these (which might not be a big issue for most) a really good hotel. Fantastic staff."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"Second time in the hotel , even we asked to be upgraded they offered just with extra charge . Breakfast doesn’t have the variety I would expect including lack of western products and vegetables . Service is good in general and location excellent . Room size is not too big for superior double All together price wise is reasonable"
