Hotels near Iwamasan Shohoji Temple

"AMAZING location. Can’t get any better if you’re in Kyoto for a few days because it’s above the station so you minimize the commute and teleport to your room immediately. Huge rooms and incredibly welcoming staff. Great sauna to relax and a decent swimming pool. Everything was perfect."

"Stayed with them twice now and it’s amazing every time"

"The staff was exceptionally polite and friendly. The internet was good and reliable. Great location - very close to Kyoto Station. The only con is the pillows are too hard."

"Breakfast buffet is very good"

"Cleaning was minimal and there was very little space for luggage, etc. otherwise, staff was friendly and laundry worked fine. "

"Absolutely excellent hotel all around. Very well situated in the city and rooms are modern and clean. Would stay here many more times if I could."

"I booked this hotel because of positive reviews... Convenient location but that's about it. Firstly, housekeeping was very sloppy. I came back to a dusty room, items on the floor by the bedside table, no amenities refilled, or cleaned yukata (despite mine was taken away). I asked twice about luggage transfer and was told to bring my luggages down for assistance. I took them down the day before checkout. I was told I had to fill out a form, which is fine, although I wish I was made aware of that because I could have completed the form at night instead of in the morning when I was trying to sightsee. I asked if they could measure and weigh my luggages but they said no, which was bizarre considering Sawaga set in the confirmation that they may charge extra if the size and weight exceeds the limit. If you have credits from a third-party booking platform, you need to ask for them specifically because I was not offered the credits when I checked in. I appreciate the coffee bar (from 10:00 a.m. onwards) but I didn't think the breakfast buffet was worth 2,800 yen. I think my experience here fell short and the service was mediocre at best."

"Clean room"

"Beautiful views and location but an older hotel that shows some signs of wear. The bed was very comfortable even being a 6'3 American and the extra space and seating felt more like a hotel at home rather than the tiny hotel rooms in Tokyo. You cannot beat the view, you tower above any other hotel and the windows are gigantic and clean. The views of the city are available in the restaurant lobbies on the top floors and are more limited but still stunning. The only issue was the room being dated. The plumbing for the toilet dripped a little when flushed and the hot water tap on the sink let out a loud whistle when turned on. The walls had small scuffs from furniture being moved but overall it is an exceptional hotel on a beautiful lake."
