"ホテルの顔である玄関の自動ドアの電源が切れてて、手動を強要してる。 Wifiが使えるか聞いたら、ロビー近くしか使えないといわれた。にも拘わらず部屋にランケーブルも無ければ、言わないと貸してくれない。大荷物持ってるのに階段でどうぞ！と言われた。（エレベーターもあるのに）部屋の鍵が解りにくいのに説明なし。（鍵を回しながらドアを押さないと開かない）ホテルの門限23時。歴史的には有名な地である点と川の中州に建てられたホテルなので景色は良いけど、何もなくて不便だった… フロントも居たり居なかったり、呼び鈴を押すタイプ。愛想は悪くなかったけど、シルバー人材センターのアルバイトって感じだった。掃除はよくされてたけど、施設は古く快適とはいいがたかった… 眺望は良かったけど、リピートはしないな。"

Top Ishiyama-dera Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was really good, brilliant bakery, good laundry services and location was good. Really enjoyed the rooftop bar shame it rained so the bar had to close. We ate dinner a couple of times and the food was excellent."

Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent in all aspects. We really enjoyed Sushi Ginza Onondera omakase experience. We had excellent massages in the Spa. Loved the Garden"

Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice"

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"Good location. Excellent breakfast buffet."

The Westin Miyako Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Our issue was very specific and might not affect most. There were limited gluten free options in the restaurants for lunch and dinner. Although you can convince a chef in other places to grill fish or steak easily, it was not an option here, at least in the common restaurant. Breakfast was better. They had gluten free bread and many options. Also, all restaurants (there are two other special ones) close rather early. But other than these (which might not be a big issue for most) a really good hotel. Fantastic staff."

The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu

10/10 Excellent

"The most beautiful hotel with outstanding amenities and staff. The location was excellent right in the heart of a historic Kyoto neighborhood. We really enjoyed the history behind the building and how they preserved the elementary school memorabilia. The guest lounge is a wonderful option for afternoon tea or happy hour drinks. Breakfast was outstanding and all the staff were truly top notch. Would definitely go back!"

Smile Hotel Otsu Seta

10/10 Excellent

"部屋が綺麗で良いホテルでした"

Kyoto Universal Hotel Karasuma

10/10 Excellent

"It was a nice little Place for what I needed. I spent most of the time traveling around but it was good for a place to sleep and shower. The breakfast was good early in the morning and they do offer Dinner too but I did not take advantage because of the good food in Japan."

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."
