Top Heian Shrine Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"This place is definitely worth of your money! I will choose this stay again if I visit Kyoto next time, commute and all surroundings are very convenient."

Dhawa Yura Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"We booked a premier room with a king bed and this room and hotel was my favorite of all the hotels we stayed in Japan for our six week holiday. The room was spacious, huge comfortable bed , excellent powerful shower. The breakfast area was set in a delightful area and you could choose how you like your eggs cooked.There is a nicely laid out bar where you can have your welcome drink, it also has a small area to relax and have a free coffee which is available 24hrs. The position is in a great location with a metro station close by and walking distance to plenty of restaurants. This is a very well presented professional hotel and I would definitely come back here."

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic stay here! Everything was fantastic, the room was very clean and the bed was really comfortable. The shower was maybe the best shower I’ve ever used, the pressure and temperature was amazing!! Well located, breakfast was very tasty, the on site bakery was a big plus too. Would highly recommend!"

THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was beautifully decorated and rooms were spacious- especially having spent previous nights in smaller rooms elsewhere. The hotel is a bit further from train stations but hotel has a shuttle available every hour that made it very easy to go back and forth. Would def stay again."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

"Location was great"

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"An ideal location with a fantastic breakfast to start your day. We were a family of 3 adults and the room was ideally laid out with 3 twin beds. Most hotels for 3 adults are ill-arranged with the the additional bed behind shoved in to fill the space but this was ideal and felt like a room for 3 adults. The entire staff was courteous and attentive. Overall a very comfortable stay and would definitely return if in the Kyoto area."
