Top Iwayasan Shimyo-in Temple Hotel Reviews

Kyoto Brighton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel, clean, very good food, very friendly stuff"

Ryokan Yamazaki

10/10 Excellent

"My son and I really enjoyed our stay at Ryokan Yamazaki, the staff were incredibly kind and helpful from checking us in, to making sure we ate and helping to order us cabs. We loved staying at a traditional style Japanese home, and the location was up in the north west area of Kyoto away from the crowds and tourists which we appreciated, and the beauty of the mountains and neighborhoods. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience a traditional Japanese stay."

Agora Place Kyoto Nijo

8/10 Good

"The Agora place is a no frills but relaxed hotel. There are amenities on the ground floor that are all you need. The room was a reasonable size and very clean. The staff were helpful and friendly. There is a large supermarket very close. The hotel is close to the Nijo castle and Imperial palace and an easy walk to bus stops and metro station with direct access to Kyoto station. My room was quiet but the hotel is situated on a busy noisy road."

moksa Rebirth Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is the perfect serene escape from the bustle of Kyoto city. The staff are incredible, all spoke English and were so helpful and really made us feel welcomed and cared for the whole time. The included drinks are delightful and we were able to sample the full tea selection as well as several alcoholic beverages even during our dinner- which I would also highly recommend booking!"

RESI STAY Nishijin

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Very clean place with everything you need. Fantastic costumer service and great shuttle to the apartment. Great for families with teens!"

OKU Kamishichiken

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel in a beautiful and old building. I believe it was a tea house long ago, now renovated and modernized into a hotel. The staff was very helpful. There are several bus stops nearby, so getting around Kyoto was easy. 7-11 is a few doors down in case you need a quick snack."

Kyoto Ohara Ryokan Seryo

10/10 Excellent

"Best meal of my life. Superb. Setting is gorgeous and authentic. Nearby hills, shrines, etc are gorgeous. A perfect getaway."
