"We really enjoyed our stay at the cross hotel. The room was comfortable and clean. The location of the hotel was excellent for first time travelers to Kyoto. We were able to walk to most places we needed to go. The staff was helpful in guiding us to places we wanted to see and how to get there. Their breakfast buffet was delicious. I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel."

"Big and busy hotel in very convenient location near Kyoto station. Didn’t get the chance to use the onsen but it looked pretty popular. Excellent breakfast choice."

THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is perfectly located in the Akasaka district, less than a 10-minute walk from the nearest subway station, making it easy to access the main areas and tourist attractions across Tokyo. The staff were incredibly lovely and welcoming throughout our entire stay.

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was beautiful and very well located. lots of restaurants and shops around. I will definitely be back if we come back to Kyoto again. Super recommended!"

Minn Gion

10/10 Excellent

"This place is great! Very spacious, had fridge, microwave, kitchen utensils … we got a room with a separates bedroom that had washer machine which was so convenient. Bathtub was also great. Great option for those who want more space and don’t care about having a person at the front desk all the time. Only down site is that as they don’t have staff at front desk they do not receive luggage from another property. But if you want send it out, there is a family mart right next to it that does the job. Highly recommend this place though."
