Hotel Monterey Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and comfortable, the amenities were amazing, loved being able to access the onset throughout our stay."

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

10/10 Excellent

"The location can not be beat. Opposite Nishiki market and a walk away from shopping, temples and shrines. Rooms are tiny. There were 3 of us. The beds are close together and there is minimal extra space. The sink, toilet and shower are all separate which was great because someone could shower while someone else could brush their teeth etc. the sink was in the room. Free small cup of sake at night. Free coffee/hot chocolate. Laundry - 4 machines. Washer/dryer combo. Takes 2 hours a load. Drying takes extra time if you are adding jeans etc. this was busy. Had to go stake out machines. We had a lovely stay. Room was small but we were not in it all day except for sleeping."

Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA

10/10 Excellent

"-Reception staff were a bit aloof. -Staff in the restaurant where breakfast was served, were very friendly and helpful. - Guest lounge is spacious and relaxing, you can help yourself with a drink (hot or cold) while planning for your day. - Room is very clean - Location is perfect, it’s just opposite to the station with many amenities nearby - Breakfast is not to be missed - Will stay in this hotel again"
