Top Kounji Temple Hotel Reviews

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."

Dhawa Yura Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Conveniently located next to the subway station and in a great area of Gion and across the bridge from the arcade and picturesque streets. The hotel was immaculate, of course. Great beds, big room, friendly staff and a nice self service coffee bar in the lobby."

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 Okazaki Bettei

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome hotel. The staff were very attentive to whatever we needed and did not hesitate to help. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for everything."

Shikikaboku

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was great, we appreciated all the small details. The soaking tubs on the roof were an addition we didn’t expect to love as much as we did. Breakfast was unique, but very good and satisfying. The rooms are nice and well equipped."

Ryokan Yoshida-sanso

10/10 Excellent

"The property, staff, food and service in general were of the highest possible standard. We hope to return."
