"There were two Japanese well maintained gardens and stone paving hallway outside. They were beautiful and they made us feel very historical culture. The summer season in Kyoto is very uncomfortable to stay outside because of the hight temperature but, in this house, for some reason we could stay comfortably without air conditioner. It was a huge house but all the rooms were cleaned perfectly. Especially we were impressed with the bathroom. The high-tech toilets beautiful wooden bath tub made us...

Top Ryoan-ji Temple 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."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"This property is absolutely packed with fellow travelers."

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."

Kyoto Omuro Kadensho（Kyoritsu Resorts）

10/10 Excellent

"Maybe the nicest hotel we've ever stayed in! The room was nice, but what really made this so special was the amenities: a lounge that serves beer and snacks, shared and private onsen (hot tubs), shuttle to Kyoto station, luggage transport service, free late-night ramen... all for free! The price was so reasonable for all you get. The staff was excellent, super helpful with everything we needed. There's a beautiful temple across the street that you need to check out, and key code across the street for nice breakfast"

KOKO HOTEL Residence Kyoto Nijo Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for large groups! The hotel was spacious and had a small kitchen! Perfect for us!"

La'gent Hotel Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"Busy hotel with many international guests. Really nice clean and modern public bath, but no cold water bath or dry sauna, only a very spacious and peaceful rectangular public bath with nice outdoor window. Breakfast was great. No lattes at breakfast but very good coffee and juices. Hot dishes were very good as were pastries. About 8 min walk to Nijo station so convenient in many ways to the main subway lines in Kyoto. Would be happy to visit again."

Ben's Guesthouse Kyoto

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and bigger than expected Small kitchenette at the entrance Small pot was missing only the big casserole Very nice to have laundry The location is good and quiet but closest bus is 7 min from the property"

Ryokan Yamazaki

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice Ryokan! Slightly removed from the core but there are 2 buses that regularly go into town so its not a huge issue. We stayed in the private room on the lower floor with the private zen garden, highly recommend if its available as it was amazing for late night drinks, and the sounds of night and the river that runs beside the ryokan. A must stay for a traditional experience! One Laundry + dryer on site for a small charge (plus you need to buy a detergent packet from the front desk, 200yen). The Japanese style breakfast was delicious, make sure you let the staff know the day before if youd like to have it, its 1500yen per person and well worth it! Will definitely be staying here again next time."
