Top Katsura Imperial Villa Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"The onsen was very clean and very refreshing"

Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend this hotel. The location is ideal, since it’s across the street from Kyoto Station. The breakfast is incredible with various options, including continental and traditional Japanese foods. The location also has a public onsen bath, making it the perfect Kyoto experience."

Hotel Granvia Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent Location and Wonderful Stay Hotel Granvia Kyoto is in a very convenient location, right above Kyoto Station, making it easy to access trains, shopping, and restaurants. The staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent, with a great variety of choices. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend Hotel Granvia Kyoto, especially for its location and excellent service."

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

8/10 Good

"Large hotel. Everything okay. Only issue is during check in, front desk was not busy with 3 to 4 staff standing by doing nothing but will not check us in. Asked to use self service. Self serve did not work. Ended back at front desk and finally got checked in. Not very courteous and quite frankly rude not willing to help us first time. Most hotel check you in willingly with a smile."

Hotel Emion Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Great location near the train station. Handy laundry facilities, you could even view availability via the tv from the room. Amazing shower."

Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"Very well situated near Kyoto station. Friendly and welcoming staff. My room was larger than expected. Clean and well kept. Added bonus of free tea and ice cream in the restaurant area all afternoon and a glass of beer or wine in the evening."

APA Hotel Kyoto Eki Horikawadori

10/10 Excellent

"The sauna and bath area was great!"

Kyoto Umekoji Kadensho

8/10 Good

"Pros: Hotel looks great with tanami flooring throughout. Onsen facilities are great. Cons: Although only 1 stop from Kyoto Station trains are infrequent and often crowded. Also warehouse next door that plays music in the morning at around 9am. Bed is also a bit too firm"

Umekoji Potel KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"This was hands down the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at! Everything was perfect, from the incredibly friendly and helpful staff to the amazing range of amenities. The public bath, music room, game room, unlimited drink bar, and self serve pour over coffee station made the entire stay feel extra special. And the room was absolutely gorgeous! It was spacious, beautifully designed, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Every detail made the experience even better. I honestly couldn’t have asked for more. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an exceptional experience!"
