"I had the most wonderful stay in Kyoto at this charming hotel. It has the traditional Japanese feel, but doesn’t feel dated; they did a beautiful job with the interiors. Also I needed to send a bag to a residential address in Tokyo and since their partner only delivers to hotels, Julie went above and beyond to help me figure out the best way to do it on my own and she even filled the form in Japanese for me. I will most definitely be staying here again whenever I’m back in Kyoto."

Top Heian Shrine Hotel Reviews

THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

8/10 Good

"First, the front-of-house staff are great, especially the bus driver. Everyone I interacted with was engaging, friendly, and very helpful. The design of the hotel is also excellent, and the location is very convenient, within walking distance of many things. I hate to say anything negative because the staff were so good, but there were a few issues during my stay. The springs in my first bed were worn and extremely uncomfortable, so the hotel kindly moved me to another room. The bed in the second room was in good condition, but unfortunately there was a significant housekeeping issue with the cleanliness of the sheets, which meant I had to change rooms again. That said, the manager was very understanding and appeared to take the issue seriously and act on it immediately, which I really appreciated. Overall, I can still recommend this hotel. The staff, design, and location are all very good, and I expect the housekeeping issue will be addressed. With a little more consistency in room and linen checks, this could very easily feel like a five-star experience."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"The room was a good size for Japan. We really liked the washroom set up..the fact that the toilet was in a separate room and there was a Japanese style washing area. It was great to have a sliding door to separate the two spaces. Storage was ample. The location was great for shopping and the hotel was quiet. We liked the lounge area in the other part with free coffee and soft drinks. The washing machines were greatly appreciated. Although they had check in machines there was always staff at the front desk to help with inquiries. Would definitely stay here again. Good value!! I’m"
