Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great!"

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

8/10 Good

"Our room was nice appointed. The furnishing was very high quality. It came with an espresso machine as well. I noted the edges of the bath tub was actually not caulked at all in the shower which seemed strange. The AC seems a bit dated and underpowered. The hotel was very close to the Main Kyoto Station which commuting very easy. I would recommend."

Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"The location was convenient, and everything made our stay relaxing and enjoyable. We truly appreciated the warm hospitality and attention to detail. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for excellent service and a comfortable stay!”"

RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, not too far from the train station, but because of the heat, it was a bit unbearable to walk with luggages. They actually provide a shuttle from the train station to the hotel, which we found out after the fact. The hotel is very nice and had a modern feel to it. My favorite was their breakfast. We had a choice to either go to the buffet, which had amazing selections of both International and Japanese food or go to the rotating restaurant with amazing view that serves international breakfast. We tried both during our stay and loved it very much. I would go back and stay there again."
