"We had an exceptional experience at the Garrya Nijo Castle hotel.

The location is convenient to public transit, and it’s proximity to the core of Kyoto meant we were only a 10 to 20 minute transit ride from almost anything we wanted to do or see in Kyoto."

Top Kuga Shrine Hotel Reviews

Agora Place Kyoto Nijo

8/10 Good

"Really lovely place to stay. It was a bit out of the way, so getting around took a bit longer. The price made up for that, however."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"Very clean and quiet hotel with great staff! Walking distance to subway station, shopping, and dining area."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"Overall it's a very nice and clean hotel. It is also quite spacious in comparison with other Japanese brand hotels, the beds are big as well. The only down side is the breakfast, not much selection as I was hoping for some Japanese style breakfast. The ones they offer is not bad but since it's a Japanese brand hotel, I would've love to have some Japanese style breakfast included."

RESI STAY Nishijin

10/10 Excellent

"I LOVED this location. Check in process was okay due to the offsite check in BUT it was easy to get to from the Kyoto station and they provided a shuttle service to our hotel. The hotel was in the cutest area, a lot of great food spots near by and lots of public transport. Grocery store close to us and quick places to eat. Lobby smelled great and our rooms were super clean."

"It was an amazing experience at Prince Kyoto. The view from the room was breath taking. It’s one of the best experiences I have had staying at this hotel.

"I won’t be looking for another hotel in the future, this place is awesome, close to the station, kombinis, laundry places and most of all in a quiet neighborhood, the staff was super friendly and the hotel is beautiful, the bed was a bit hard but that’s just a preference, I will be coming back!"
