Top Heian Shrine Hotel Reviews

THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC

10/10 Excellent

"Every single service was impeccable. Location perfect. Room spacious"

Hilton Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"6 nights for the Kyoto area. Good location not in the Gion but walkable. Great breakfast buffet but sometimes had to wait for seating due to groups. Helpful staff and Concierge service. Recommend and would stay again. Close to shopping and dining."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect hotel and not that expensive. Perfect location. The onsen are beautiful. You have everything within walking distance."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, family of four staying and room was very spacious. Good location for market, pontocho alley and gion"

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Modern, clean, well-thought-out in layout of rooms and hotel. Centrally located. Staff were very helpful and kind, especially Yotaro for check in and Mon Myat Thu in the restaurant, (who saw me with my Matcha powder in the breakfast buffet and promptly offered to make me a Matcha latte!). Great breakfast buffet. Best hotel experience we’ve had in years! We’ll look for other locations should we return to Japan."

Hotel Okura Kyoto Okazaki Bettei

10/10 Excellent

"The room was really nice. Very spacious and beautifully designed. Our room appeared to be one of two rooms overlooking a car park but that didn’t bother us. It was a bonus to be able to log in to Netflix at the end of long days touring and making use of the hotel’s happy hour between 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm. There’s easy access to their garden. We didn’t eat at their restaurant and the breakfast option did seem a bit pricey. All staff were very friendly and professional. We would definitely stay there again and certainly recommend."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

Hotel Okura Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was impeccable. The restaurants were amazing. Our only complaint was the showers were not hot. Not a big issue, but strange given what an amazing hotel it is."

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing roof top bar. Excellent hotel restarant and coffee shop with fresh bakery."
