Top Takashima Hotel Reviews
The Westin Miyako Kyoto
10/10 Excellent
"Best 5 star I have been property and spa, restaurant are fabulous."
Hearton Hotel Kyoto
8/10 Good
"Convenient, close to plenty of restaurants and transportation. The lobby area could use an upgrade, specially the bathrooms downstairs. Otherwise, good."
Kyoto Brighton Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Kyoto these days is packed with tourists. The Brighton is just far enough from the center of town to be quiet and restful while still being convenient. The amenities are far superior to those of similarly priced hotels. My room was large, sparkling clean and looked out at a lovely garden. I only experienced the buffet-style Western breakfast - a large variety of items, all freshly made and delicious. Coffee, too, was very good. And every member of the staff was kind and helpful. I strongly hope these qualities are retained after the upcoming renovation."
Hotel Okura Kyoto

Hotel Boston Plaza Kusatsu
10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel, I will be staying here again when I have a chance to come to this area."
