Top Pontocho Alley Hotel Reviews

THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"The place is good close to the metro and has great amenities walking distance from nishiki market"

Hotel Okura Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was exceptional. There were so many amenities and the staff was so patient with our very limited Japanese. They even let us check our bags after checkout so we could leave later, and arranged for a shuttle to Kyoto Station! I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is going to Kyoto."

Hilton Kyoto

8/10 Good

"This hotel has everything you would need and is in a fairly central location. I would say its on the lower end of 5 star hotels, not that its lacking in any way but the vibe is more corporate than luxury. This was the third hotel we stayed at in Japan for our honeymoon. We stayed in a suite on the 5th floor with executive lounge access. Out of the 3 hotels we stayed at, this was the only one that didnt give us any upgrades or acknowledge our honeymoon despite having emailed them about it a few months before our arrival. The room is spacious, executive lounge is okay (gets pretty crowded and food/drink options arent vast) and there is a rooftop bar, lobby bar as well as a few restaurants on the lobby floor. We weren’t blown away by this hotel but we would stay here again."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Kawaramachi Jokyoji

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is exceptional. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The rooms are large and comfortable. There is free coffee and tea in the lounge, and a large comfortable public bath for use. Well-located within the city, I’d highly recommend this as your stay."
