Top Heian Shrine Hotel Reviews

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was wonderful helpful them went beyond to help"

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Very good location Close to the train station Great breakfast, decent room size We were able to open two luggages at the same time. Free reman from 9-11 pm"

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

10/10 Excellent

"The Forza was great value for money: we enjoyed the location, friendly staff, complementary coffee and wifi, comfy room and quick check in and out. Laundry machines were fine but very in-demand with long wait times and run times - that’s the only thing that was less than ideal. If you are not in urgent need of laundry facilities upon arrival then this place is excellent."

Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful, they even gave me a free bottle of sake"

THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel. We loved the footbath."

Ryokan Sawaya Honten

8/10 Good

"I chose this hotel for the ryokan experience, and I was not disappointed. The room was spacious, while the bathroom was small but adequate. They offered a traditional Japanese breakfast, which I enjoyed, although my partner was not used to this type of breakfast. The hotel is located in a local neighborhood and is accessible by city bus and local train. However, traveling with luggage on local trains and buses can be difficult. I recommend using a luggage transfer service to send your bags from one hotel to the next, and taking a taxi from the hotel to the train station. This made traveling much easier and more convenient."

Hilton Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Spacious and clean room. Fantastic location. Highly recommend!"

KOKO HOTEL Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

"Overall, I had a comfortable stay. However, the toilet was a bit of a nuisance. It had a persistent odor that refused to go away. Also, during my stay, the air conditioner started leaking water. The staff promptly fixed the issue and gave me a new room."

Hotel Okura Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Centrally located near restaurants and shops. Staff was friendly and helpful."
