Top Iwayasan Shimyo-in Temple Hotel Reviews

Kyoto Brighton Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are EXCELLENT ! The hotel is far from everything and although you have shuttle service, you have to deal with the subway... or a taxi. Staff is very nice but unfortunately they don't speak English well enough to understand you... this problem is not only at this hotel, is everywhere!!"

Agora Place Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are small but clean and nice."

RESI STAY Nishijin

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at Resi Nishijin in Kyoto with my family of 4 and the room was big and well equipped. Clean and beds were comfortable. The washing machine was handy and the space was appreciated. The area whilst quiet is connected well with buses. There is a bus stop right outside. It is about 25mins walk to the golden pavilion. It is a 20-25min bus ride back to Kyoto Station and about 3600 Yen via taxi to the Station as Buses don’t allow big luggages on board - although I saw many foreigners do this during our bus ride. Get an all day bus pass for 1100 yen - good value. Google maps works well to help get you around. If you prefer to be closer to Kyoto station - then this isn’t the place for you but we appreciated the space of the room so it worked for us. Staff at reception were nice and we had a free shuttle to the hotel but had to book a taxi for our ride back to Kyoto station after checkout. Plenty of nice places to eat around the hotel and supermarket across the street. Lifts were available too."
