Gion, 1.4 km from Heian Shrine

"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."

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The bakery"

Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Not too far from shopping, quite area and new hotel"

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at the Cross Hotel in Kyoto. Everything about it was perfect: location, food, hotel space. I had contacted the hotel in advance of our stay with questions and received quick responses. During our stay, we rented bikes and the hotel helped us keep these safe overnight. We still think about the daily breakfast, as no other hotels in hotel matched the variety and quality they offered. We can’t wait to go back!"

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the hotel was superb! All of the staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. We booked a Corner Premium Room, which was very spacious and even had a sofa, making it especially comfortable. When we made our reservation, we did not purchase breakfast, so we were pleasantly surprised to receive complimentary drinks and breakfast coupons for each day of our stay. It was such a wonderful and unexpected bonus! We also loved the hotel’s location. It was within walking distance of Gion, Shijo Station, and many of Kyoto’s main shopping attractions, which made exploring the city very convenient. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again!"
