Top Kyoto Hotel Reviews

Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae

8/10 Good

"Everything was top notch h except the breakfast was fully booked every day."

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

8/10 Good

"The hotel was excellent, beautiful maintained and functioned like a well oiled machine. The room was first class and super comfortable, definitely the most comfortable bed I have slept in during my stay in Japan! Unfortunately they was one incident that I felt let them down and was certainly not expected from an organisation as polished as this. I made a mistake with my booking, I called the front desk, from outside the hotel, in the hope of getting someone to help me. When the call was answered, I asked if English was spoken, the Lady on the line made a response and then put me through to another Lady, when I asked if she spoke English, she just hung up on me, we did not get cut off. This was very disappointing and resulted in me having to travel across Kyoto to appear at reception in person, very inconvenient. I would have expected better from such a high hotel."
