"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 Kyoto Municipal Zoo Hotel Reviews

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"First time staying and would stay again!! Everything felt lux and clean, all the staff were so nice and very helpfull. Most if not all spoke pretty good English but even so they were all very patient. We got the room with a built in laundry machine and it was amazing very spacious n handy. Really would recommend"

THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC

10/10 Excellent

"I would stay in this hotel in a second. What a pleasant surprise our room and the hotel was! Large room and huge bathroom, free snacks and drinks and close to many tourist attractions."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier. The room was very comfortable and beautiful, and the view over the river was absolutely awesome. Kyoto is definitely a wonderful city, and staying here made our visit even more enjoyable. The staff at the front desk were also very welcoming, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. The location is excellent for exploring Kyoto, and overall we had a great experience. We would definitely stay here again!"

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Location location location. This is my second time here. Loved it!!!"

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."

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 HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

8/10 Good

"Really enjoyed our stay. The hotel staff were excellent and the hotel shuttle was especially beneficial. The only recommendation I would offer is to have coffee mugs and ice and water dispensers in the rooms or at least on each floor."

Hotel Okura Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding location was the major factor for us. Would definitely stay there again."
