Top Kyoto Hotel Reviews

Hotel Granvia Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Beautiful property. Rooms were spacious and clean. Staff was extremely gracious and helpful and most spoke okay English. Food was atrociously expensive (we ordered half a sandwich and fries (about 15), and a cup of coffee (no refills) and it came to about $40 USD. Breakfast buffet was 5,000 yen. A cup of coffee was 1,500 yen, or about 7 USD."

RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Good size room, staff were great and helpful, added bonus of a courtesy bus to Kyoto station. Great location. Bathrooms were old and dated, pillows not great had to buy a pillow from the shop"

APA Hotel Kyoto Eki Horikawadori

10/10 Excellent

"Travelled with my wife for the first time to Japan; for the price, we were impressed. Room felt a little crammed at times but was manageable. Staff was extremely friendly and ensured we were comfortable. Room had air conditioning and the bed/pillows were more comfortable than my own. Close to Kyoto Station which saved us time and energy which you would need to travel any places you planned to visit/hike. Would stay here again."

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

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