Top Ryoan-ji Temple Hotel Reviews

KOKO HOTEL Residence Kyoto Nijo Castle

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent 1 night stay in Kyoto. We had a huge room that slept 5 and it was extremely clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful and they literally have any item that you may forget there plus more for free. Thank you!"

Kyoto Umekoji Kadensho

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel with private onsen. Great location for getting around."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel and onsen . The breakfast is unmatched. It is just very busy at times. That’s the only downside. But the staff keep everything very organized"

HOTEL ECCLESIA

8/10 Good

"Great property that was well located for reach to the tourist areas. Some good local restaurants nearby and the train station only a 5 minute walk."

Kyoto Brighton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were only in Kyoto for two nights, but found the Brighton to be centrally located to the areas we wanted to explore. Cabs were always available for hire at the from entrance. Rooms were large and clean, with amenities such as pajamas and toiletries included. Large soaking tub made for a relaxing end to a long day of walking. Mineral salts for bath were provided, which were a nice touch. You cant beat the price for this level of luxury. We did not take advantage of any of the restaurants in the hotel, but they do have a breakfast buffet available for a cost. Overall, would definitely return to this property."

The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the huge king size bed. It was two doubles put together. The shower was amazing! We booked 4 different hotel stays in Japan on this trip and this is hands down the best and the lowest cost! It’s right across from the train station and easy to get to different places in Kyoto. If you plan to use the gym, the stationary bikes are very uncomfortable to sit on. The free drinks station in the lobby is a nice bonus!"

Hotel Monterey Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel spacious very close of many points of interest"

Ryokan Yamazaki

10/10 Excellent

"My son and I really enjoyed our stay at Ryokan Yamazaki, the staff were incredibly kind and helpful from checking us in, to making sure we ate and helping to order us cabs. We loved staying at a traditional style Japanese home, and the location was up in the north west area of Kyoto away from the crowds and tourists which we appreciated, and the beauty of the mountains and neighborhoods. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience a traditional Japanese stay."

Agora Place Kyoto Nijo

8/10 Good

"The Agora place is a no frills but relaxed hotel. There are amenities on the ground floor that are all you need. The room was a reasonable size and very clean. The staff were helpful and friendly. There is a large supermarket very close. The hotel is close to the Nijo castle and Imperial palace and an easy walk to bus stops and metro station with direct access to Kyoto station. My room was quiet but the hotel is situated on a busy noisy road."
