Hotel The Celestine Kyoto Gion

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent service - Staff are incredible."

THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO. The location was one of the biggest highlights—very convenient for exploring Kyoto, with so many restaurants, shops, and attractions within easy reach. The hotel itself is beautiful, with incredible views of the city. Each night, we loved ending our evening at the hotel bar, relaxing with a drink and taking in the view. It became one of our favorite little rituals during the trip. The amenities and guest experiences were also such a nice touch. During our stay, we were able to enjoy a complimentary show, along with s’mores and wine for guests. Beautiful property, thoughtful amenities, amazing views, and an excellent location. I would absolutely stay here again on a future trip to Kyoto."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Attention to detail. Their facilities were top notch and very clean. 9-11 Ramen + Ice Cream was very good!"

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"Good location. Excellent breakfast buffet."

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel close to all transportation to attractions . Great breakfast, too."

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

8/10 Good

"The location can’t be beat. Easy to access trains and metro stations. Clean room. Breakfast was a highlight. Didn’t have a view as we had inside room so street noise wasn’t an issue."

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Really good hotel and great food!"

THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel! Staff were amazing and location was awesome"

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Kawaramachi Jokyoji

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in a room with three beds. While the room was not particularly spacious, it was very comfortable, well designed, and met our needs perfectly. We were especially impressed with the food. Breakfast wasn't one of those enormous international buffets with seemingly endless choices, but there was a very good and interesting selection, and the quality was excellent. You ordered a main dish from the menu and then helped yourself to the buffet, which had all kinds of different things to taste and try. Someone was making fresh onigiri, which was fabulous, and there was even a machine that made fresh pancakes at the push of a button, with a whole selection of toppings and accompaniments to go with them. My traveling companions definitely took advantage of those! The salmon I ordered from the menu was absolutely delicious. We were all very happy with breakfast. We also returned to the hotel late one evening and decided to have a light dinner in the restaurant simply because it was convenient. We were pleasantly surprised by just how good everything was. All three of us thought our food was delicious. After a long day exploring Kyoto, it was wonderful to know that we could come back to the hotel and have such a good, easy dinner without having to go out again. Overall, we found the hotel very comfortable and were particularly impressed by the quality of the food. We would happily stay here again."
