THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was very clean and peaceful. The staff were also really kind!"

Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and functional. Great location and near to the station so easy to get about on foot, bus or train to attractions. Didn’t have much interaction with staff apart from checking in and breakfast but they were all friendly . The breakfast was lovely, delicious and lots of choices."

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."
