Top Heian Shrine Hotel Reviews

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"An ideal location with a fantastic breakfast to start your day. We were a family of 3 adults and the room was ideally laid out with 3 twin beds. Most hotels for 3 adults are ill-arranged with the the additional bed behind shoved in to fill the space but this was ideal and felt like a room for 3 adults. The entire staff was courteous and attentive. Overall a very comfortable stay and would definitely return if in the Kyoto area."

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Definitely a top notch very modern hotel experience ! The breakfast included not only a selection of various egg dishes but also offers a wonderful selection of freshly baked French bakery items. A wide selection of fresh salads and fruit round out the buffet offers. Room as well as amenities are 4 star level and truly provide their guests with a very modern and comfortable stay. One of the best hotels that I stayed in on my trip."
