"The hotel was in a peaceful location of Kyoto very close to the Philosophers path and surrounding temples. The roof terrace and complimentary happy hour drinks was a wonderful edition at the end of long day of sight seeing to soak up the views and relax. The breakfast was excellent - a perfect balance of fresh vegetables, baked bread and fruit and yogurt. And the staff were so helpful with local restaurant recommendations. Would definately recommend"

Top Kounji Temple Hotel Reviews

Hotel Okura Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional attention to detail. Classic Japanese luxury—hotel was definitely a throwback but did not feel old and outdated."

THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was very nice, beautiful environment, very calming and relaxing. Staff was very helpful and the room was always very clean. Breakfast was great but it was the same everyday. Shuttle service was very convenient."

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

"Très bon emplacement, et très bon rapport qualité prix"

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"This property was walking distance to a bunch of markets such as Nishiki, Termachi, etc. There are lots to do around the area and very close to Kamo river with restaurants. I got sick when I got to Kyoto so the staff gave me English speaking medical clinics around the area. The property is nice and has laundry downstairs but there is a long wait time as everyone is trying to wash/dry their clothes. The breakfast is decent even though it is a bit pricey for Japan I would say. But there are variety of food. We also upgraded our room upon check in to have more space and they were able to accommodate pretty quickly."

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"La habitación muy cómoda y limpia. Está súper céntrico, caminando al centro y varios highlights de la ciudad. Amable el personal. Lo recomiendo para viaje familiar. El desayuno básico."
