"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

Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Our family stayed at Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto and it was lovely! The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff were helpful and accommodating, overall I would highly recommend anyone coming to Kyoto to stay here! :) I also had a little incident with the hair dryer and I told the staff when I was checking out. I told them to charge it to the room but they were not concerned about that, they asked me if I had burned myself. They were so thoughtful to this clumsy tourist!"

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"It was honestly a very good stay in an awesome location"

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

8/10 Good

"Breakfast buffet was great. Staff was helpful. Room is very small for 3 people, but we made it work. Great area. Lots of shops and restaurants."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"10/10."

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"We loved everything! When we arrived it was peak check-in time but the front desk staff were plentiful and checked everyone in quickly, which was impressive! Super friendly and attentive staff throughout the hotel (bar, restaurant, housekeeping and as mentioned front desk staff). The room (jr suite) was decorated tastefully and the sound system was a nice surprise old school tube and horn system!"

The Westin Miyako Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Our issue was very specific and might not affect most. There were limited gluten free options in the restaurants for lunch and dinner. Although you can convince a chef in other places to grill fish or steak easily, it was not an option here, at least in the common restaurant. Breakfast was better. They had gluten free bread and many options. Also, all restaurants (there are two other special ones) close rather early. But other than these (which might not be a big issue for most) a really good hotel. Fantastic staff."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"Second time in the hotel , even we asked to be upgraded they offered just with extra charge . Breakfast doesn’t have the variety I would expect including lack of western products and vegetables . Service is good in general and location excellent . Room size is not too big for superior double All together price wise is reasonable"

THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

8/10 Good

"Really enjoyed our stay. The hotel staff were excellent and the hotel shuttle was especially beneficial. The only recommendation I would offer is to have coffee mugs and ice and water dispensers in the rooms or at least on each floor."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in a fantastic location. The staff were very friendly. The rooms are large and well maintained. We had a washing machine in our room which was excellent. The onsen was incredible."
