Top Nijō Castle Hotel Reviews

LOISIR HOTEL CLASSIC GARDEN KYOTO SANJO

8/10 Good

"The room was spacious and comfortable, the staff was very friendly. The facilities are on the older side but still well mantained. Great location and breakfast."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"This was our favorite hotel of the trip! Great breakfast, amenities, laundry on site, massage chairs for free, the onsen. Amazing! Great location to everything we wanted to do and for transit. If I had to say one bad thing it’s that the pillows needed to be updated. They were hard and small. Otherwise, I would 1000% recommend this Place to anyone visiting Kyoto."

Ace Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful, high end, funky property. I can recommend without reservation."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel in a great location with amazing staff. Overall, it was a superb stay and the onsen is wonderful after a long day of touring My favorite hotel so far in Japan. Don’t hesitate book it"

HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, quiet, clean, and well appointed room. Hot springs, hot tubs were really nice, and relaxing. Breakfast was splendid as well."

The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel condition, location, and staff"

Hotel Intergate Kyoto Shijo Shinmachi

8/10 Good

"We travelled from Canada and stayed at Hotel Intergate Kyoto for four nights. The hotel is in a good location, and the staff were excellent. We also appreciated the amenities, including the laundry facilities, massage chairs, and lounge with complimentary drinks and snacks. Breakfast was available at an additional cost. Unfortunately, we were assigned rooms on the second floor, where noise from outside activity was disruptive. The rooms had very little space to store clothing for a four-night stay, and the bathroom had no storage space at all. The beds were reasonably comfortable, although a little too firm for our preference. As with other hotels on this trip to Japan, we booked through Expedia and came away feeling that we had been assigned less desirable rooms. While we can’t say whether the booking method influenced the room allocation, these experiences have left us reluctant to use Expedia for future hotel bookings."

Hearton Hotel Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Clean room, towels were a bit thin! But the 5 night stay was good! Breakfast variety was great though super busy with tour groups!"

Agora Place Kyoto Nijo

8/10 Good

"Clean, modern hotel with helpful staff. Was really close to a bus stop so it was easy to get around. Would stay here again."
