Top Ritsumeikan University Hotel Reviews

KOKO HOTEL Residence Kyoto Nijo Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Top notch location"

The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Ryokan Yamazaki

8/10 Good

"Only stayed one night but hospitality was great and so was our room"

Kyoto Umekoji Kadensho

10/10 Excellent

"Best choice I made"

La'gent Hotel Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent value. Location is somewhat convenient. We weren’t looking for a big city feel. The nearest train station was about 7 min walk and connect us to everything. We walked mostly, even to Gion (about an hour) but we like to explore new city that way. Didn’t get to use the public amenities but the room is comfortable albeit smaller. We stayed for 4 nights and loved that there is a 7-11 across the street;)"

Urban Hotel Kyoto Nijo Premium

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful experience with polite and professional staff"

Agora Place Kyoto Nijo

8/10 Good

"The room was small but neat. Amenities downstairs were good. Staff was courteous."

RESI STAY Nishijin

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Very clean place with everything you need. Fantastic costumer service and great shuttle to the apartment. Great for families with teens!"

OKU Kamishichiken

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel in a beautiful and old building. I believe it was a tea house long ago, now renovated and modernized into a hotel. The staff was very helpful. There are several bus stops nearby, so getting around Kyoto was easy. 7-11 is a few doors down in case you need a quick snack."
