Top Kiyomizu Temple Hotel Reviews

THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious rooms, great location."

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. We loved the rooftop restaurant and bar. The coffee shop and bakery were wonderful in the morning. Staff were terrific and helped us book a car and driver for a day sightseeing."

Kiyomizu Elite Terrace

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing property with great location and staff was exceptional. The onsen the views and the incredible breakfast makes this place a gem"

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"Solario Hotel, Kyoto: great location, pricey for what you get The location is the standout. It's easy to reach the main sights and getting around the city is simple, which makes it a very convenient base for exploring Kyoto. The rest of the stay was solid: everything was pretty good and nothing really let us down. The one drawback is value. Given what the room rate was, I expected a bit more, and it could be better for the price. Still, if location is your priority, it's hard to beat. Verdict: Recommended for the location. Just go in knowing the price is on the high side."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"There are lots of amenities here -like the public bath and the big fancy breakfast- but assume you will need to compete for every resource, from a breakfast table to a shoe locker. The lobby felt like a combination of a college dorm and an airport gate. Things are generally good in your room, and all supplies were in order. Walls are thin enough I was woken up by my neighbor’s alarm every morning. Breakfast waits at 6:45 AM were about 45 minutes. I spilled some hand wash soap on the area in front of the sink and learned that the floor was not nearly as clean as it appeared."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

"Good property. Excellent breakfast. Good shopping and easy access to public transport."

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

8/10 Good

"Hotel in great location, across from the train station. Room is very clean and spacious with all amenities needed. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended this hotel."

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was awesome, no complaints."

Gion Ryokan Karaku

8/10 Good

"Very convenient location, close to the main attractions."
