Top hotels in Kita Ward
Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs
Not the cozy, quaint ryokan I expected, with busloads descending, but the onsen was lovely. Room was spacious but basic. Practically located 10 minutes walk from Kyoto Station. The amenities like massage machines, free latte machines, etc are great.

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto
Wonderful hotel with so many useful amenities. The in house bakery was fun. We made use of the laundry and fitness room. Great location close to a number of temples. Nice sized room and very clean. Despite all the hustle and bustle we never were disturbed by any noise inside the room.

THE BLOSSOM KYOTO
Lovely location with very good on site restaurant. The breakfast is a little on the higher price side but very convenient and the staff are extremely attentive.

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo
Everything went really well. The kiosk that they want you to check in at, you have to pay a tax and it didn’t take my debit card for some reason. You needed a card with a PIN. We tried 3 different people on our party, and none of our cards worked. So we were scrambling trying to find the tax money ...
