"The hotel was in a peaceful location of Kyoto very close to the Philosophers path and surrounding temples. The roof terrace and complimentary happy hour drinks was a wonderful edition at the end of long day of sight seeing to soak up the views and relax. The breakfast was excellent - a perfect balance of fresh vegetables, baked bread and fruit and yogurt. And the staff were so helpful with local restaurant recommendations. Would definately recommend"

Top Heian Shrine Hotel Reviews

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel musse is in a very poppin and centralized part of Kyoto making it easy to get to many locations. The property is well maintained and clean. The staff were so kind and even though we placed a do not disturb notice they left care packages at our door every day. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and would absolutely stay again and recommend to family and friends."

THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Modern hotel. Nice lounge with drinks for guests tasty Japanese breakfast tray."

The Westin Miyako Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Tres belle hôtel personelle à l'écoute très bon petit déjeuner gym très bien équipée"

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"We started five nights. Very friendly staff and helpful. The location is accessible to many restaurants and shopping centers. We loved the onsen bath which was a plus after a long day sightseeing. However I’d prefer a larger closet. Only thing was the closet size. I recommend the premier and up if you are looking for larger room. All and all I’d start there again."

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The Nohga Hotel was one of the best hotels we stayed at during our 21 day trip to Japan. Highly recommend this hotel if you’re staying in Kyoto. Great location and hats off to everyone working there. What a delight."

Hotel Resol Trinity Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Very satisfied with our whole hotel experience......we will stay there again on our next trip to Kyoto."

The Millennials Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about this place is amazing. Excellent location (chaotic the moment you step outside the door, but incredibly convenient), capsule was so cool and extremely comfortable (enough room for bags, bed is bigger than usual, and you can even make bed into a couch to chill), bathrooms super clean and they have enough showers and bathrooms for each floor. This place has mastered the hostel socialization environment. As a solo traveler, I made a bunch of friends here to go out to dinner with. They offer a happy hour in the evening with free beer for guests so it’s really easy to meet people and the common area is very comfortable and well designed."

Hilton Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Attentive and helpful staff - very clean and organized for checkin"

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent
