Top Nijō Castle Hotel Reviews

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel musse is in a very poppin and centralized part of Kyoto making it easy to get to many locations. The property is well maintained and clean. The staff were so kind and even though we placed a do not disturb notice they left care packages at our door every day. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and would absolutely stay again and recommend to family and friends."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"We started five nights. Very friendly staff and helpful. The location is accessible to many restaurants and shopping centers. We loved the onsen bath which was a plus after a long day sightseeing. However I’d prefer a larger closet. Only thing was the closet size. I recommend the premier and up if you are looking for larger room. All and all I’d start there again."
