"Great host and communication. The house is cozy and it had everything we needed. The air conditioning was great in the Japanese heatwave. In just under 10 minutes, you can walk to some of the nicest streets in Kyoto with temples and cafes. However, everything around there closes quite early and becomes really quiet - so be aware if it’s not your vibe. Not a big deal for me, though. The only real issue is that the property is not very accessible: the closest bust stop is about 15 min away and...

"We really enjoyed staying in a real house in a real neighborhood for our trip to Kyoto. There was plenty of room for our small family, and we felt we had a more authentic visit to this beautiful city. A couple things to note for those who read reviews is that the stairs to the bedrooms are very steep and narrow, and I worried for my husband navigating them in the dark at night. The bed in the second bedroom is on the floor, which isn't a bad thing considering this is an authentic experience,...

Randor Residential Hotel Kyoto Suites

10/10 Excellent

"good"

Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"A somewhat luxary experience at a reasonable price. We enjoyed the free ice cream and drinks numerous times. There was a free craft where we painted wind chimes, a nod to a local wind chime festival, that the family loved and made great souvenirs. For the most part everything in the room was great and comfortable. The location is mostly very good but the 5-10 minute walk to the train station does get repetitive, but it's good value for the money and everything you want for food is nearby. I liked the double sink bathroom. I have a few suggestions for improvement. These are just nitpicks, overall really liked the hotel. - the 4 bed room is really a 2 bed room with the cots set up, which is fine, it's still spacious enough for Japan. But there was only 2 hooks for towels when there is a lot of wall space in the bathroom. Should be at least 4 hooks if it's sometimes a 4 bed room. - the TV based system for room cleaning is silly. Our room got cleaned when we asked for it not to be, and they had a laminated apology note indicating it happens a lot. Just stick to the note on the door system then; if it's not broken you can't fix it. - the light in the toilet was an automatic sensor, but when you get up in the middle of the night you don't want a full bright light... again it's a case of the hotel doing too much to its own detriment."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"I have never stayed at a place like this before where leaving was hard, not only are the stuff super welcoming and knowledgeable but they also provide excellent customer services. As for amenities, you will feel at home. I truly fell in love with this place <3"

Toyoko Inn Kyoto Biwako Otsu

10/10 Excellent

"Toyoko Hotels are usually great. They are clean, convenient, and affordable, and they tend to have lots of useful amenities or people who might have forgotten to bring something like a toothbrush or razor. This particular hotel has a really convenient location that's a short walk from several train stations and from a couple of very charming and pleasant shopping arcades. Miidera (三井寺) and Lake Biwa (琵琶湖) are also manageable walks. Otsu is a lovely and underrated city, and this hotel is in a really nice part of the city."

Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"As expected, beautiful spacious rooms with a refined and thoughtful local setting on a beautiful garden with the best looking Koi in Japan. Staff were friendly, responsive and helpful. We had to find a driver the night before when our guide cancelled and they found an amazing driver, fluent in English who kindly offered to also be our guide. Japan of course is overflowing with unimaginably courteous, kind and intentional people but still the hotel really helped us make the most of our last minute trip to Kyoto. Gym and pool are a highlight and again all restaurant recommendations were spot on. A very convenient location but tucked away in a serene property of its own. Not cheap but worth it."
