Top Motoyoshichō Hotel Reviews

Hotel Granvia Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location in train station but very elegant and quiet"

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"Solario Hotel, Kyoto: great location, pricey for what you get The location is the standout. It's easy to reach the main sights and getting around the city is simple, which makes it a very convenient base for exploring Kyoto. The rest of the stay was solid: everything was pretty good and nothing really let us down. The one drawback is value. Given what the room rate was, I expected a bit more, and it could be better for the price. Still, if location is your priority, it's hard to beat. Verdict: Recommended for the location. Just go in knowing the price is on the high side."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is brand new and in pristine condition, but there were some notable operational quirks. It doesn’t seem like management is able to decide whether this is a luxury property or a select service hotel - even though there were two reception desks staffed at all times, the staff were actively pushing customers to use the three self-service kiosks for all operations (check-in, breakfast coupons, check-out) and actually doing the work for them on those machines. Not sure what the point of that was or whether it should be the case in a luxury property. Similarly, the public bath in the basement is pretty underwhelming, if pristine. All that said, the rooms were spotless, staff were very helpful and spoke English impeccably, and breakfast was great both in terms of food selection and quality."
