Top Nijō Castle Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Buffet breakfast stands out for me here. Next will be the hot springs they have at the hotel followed by the cleanliness and quiet atmosphere all throughout our stay. Staff are so helpful and friendly. Highly recommended for folks visiting Kyoto. Kyoto station is about 5mins walk away."

The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"Quiet. Laundry facility was full all the time due to only having 2 machines on 2 floors only."

KOKO HOTEL Residence Kyoto Nijo Castle

8/10 Good

"The hotel had a wonderful apartment-style setup, including a kitchenette that made it easy and convenient to prepare our own breakfast. We especially appreciated having two toilets and separate bedrooms, which worked perfectly for our family since we were traveling with our adult daughter. The location was convenient with 7-11 nearby, food options, with a wonderful small Italian inspired cafe next door- with excellent cappuccino. It was also also within a short walking distance of Nijo Castle and the Anime museum, making it easy to explore the area. The only downside was the sliding door to the main bedroom. It tended to stick and was quite loud when opening or closing. Unfortunately, this sometimes woke us up when we needed to get up to use the bathroom during the night. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and really appreciated the spacious, home-like setup and convenient location."

Kyoto Umekoji Kadensho

10/10 Excellent

"Best choice I made"

Garrya Nijo Castle Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely building near a scenic historic castle and located close to public transportation to go anywhere else you would like to in Kyoto. The staff is superb, they are endlessly friendly and helpful and I can’t thank them enough for their outstanding service. The restaurant is excellent, aside from the breakfast which I gladly enjoyed every morning I actually enjoyed the dinner so much I went twice during my stay. The restaurant staff in particular were fun and friendly on top of being prompt and efficient. My room was beautiful and the bed was excellent. All the other amenities you would expect are present and the daily housekeeping is both prompt and unobtrusive. Needless to say I greatly enjoyed my stay here and I would gladly do it again and recommend it to any friends who plan a Kyoto vacation."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"The room was a good size for Japan. We really liked the washroom set up..the fact that the toilet was in a separate room and there was a Japanese style washing area. It was great to have a sliding door to separate the two spaces. Storage was ample. The location was great for shopping and the hotel was quiet. We liked the lounge area in the other part with free coffee and soft drinks. The washing machines were greatly appreciated. Although they had check in machines there was always staff at the front desk to help with inquiries. Would definitely stay here again. Good value!! I’m"

Ace Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Truly, one of the coolest hotels I’ve ever stayed in, very unique, the restaurants were excellent, the bar the whole mood of the restaurant and the hotel was great"

KAYA Kyoto Nijo Castle

10/10 Excellent

"The staff here were so obliging. The afternoon amenities was a nice little breather during the hot weather. Became used to enjoying a sake or two and some of the snacks in the afternoons. We stayed for 7 nights and did not feel cramped at all."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Rooms that face city have glazed windows so may as well forget it has a window"
