Top Kyoto Municipal Zoo Hotel Reviews

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"I had a really great stay here. The laundry amenities were really nice and convenient for me. They have a live status on the TV so you can see when the laundry machines are available which was nice. I felt like the hotel was really eco friendly while also being really clean. There was no sacrificing of cleanliness. The staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and we and a very enjoyable stay."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at MGH Kyoto Sanjo Premier was amazing! Our second stop during our trip to Japan, the hotel had everything we needed and was located conveniently to Karasuma Oike station. Staff was incredibly helpful in arranging luggage transfer and level of service overall was great. We did not originally opt for the breakfast when booking, but had the option to charge to the room each day as needed. Breakfast included a plated AND the buffet, so there were plenty options. Hotel restaurant leans italian so breakfast fare had some of that influence. The property, hotel, and our room was well maintained. AC worked perfectly and beds were comfortable. The only thing I would say is odd is the blinds in the shower to block the window out to the entry hall… but I guess it works. Toiletries are available downstairs before heading to the elevator. Laundromat in the basement is the 2-1 washer-dryer but did the trick washing. We booked the private bath rather than use the public bath and it was a lovely experience! Luxe and private. Overall would definitely stay again!!!!"
