"We had an exceptional experience at the Garrya Nijo Castle hotel.

The location is convenient to public transit, and it’s proximity to the core of Kyoto meant we were only a 10 to 20 minute transit ride from almost anything we wanted to do or see in Kyoto."

KOKO HOTEL Residence Kyoto Nijo Castle

"Great position opposite Nijo station Very quiet and comfortable"

Park Hotel Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Modern hotel in a great central location, with helpful staff and clean rooms of a reasonable size for Japan. Unfortunately, our room had a very strong, unpleasant odour that persisted even with the windows open. After reading similar reviews, we decided against requesting a room change, fearing the issue might be the same elsewhere. It’s a shame, as otherwise the hotel was great, but the foul smell would make me reconsider staying here again."

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Kyoto Oike

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel not far from walking area of shops and restaurants."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"Very good stay"

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

"This hotel was mainly for the location, and the location is awesome for shopping. The room and hotel itself were okay. The rooms are a little outdated, and the beds had a few minor stains on the blankets, nothing that was terrible (all of our group had some kind of stain on the blankets in every room) but definitely made an impact on our visit to the hotel. The premium lounge is awesome, but located directly next to a smoking area, and was often just filled with smoke, which made it so we never went. Again the location is 100% worth it, and if you just want to use it as we did as a place to sleep while shopping in Kyoto, then its awesome."
