Top Nijō Castle Hotel Reviews

Hotel Emion Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Cet hotel a été au dessus de nos attentes, Le service à la réception excellent, la grandeur de la chambre, avec ses 4 lits était superbe, les commodités, la propreté, l'insonorisation tout était parfait. Nous y avons séjourné 4 nuits et nous avons été très satisfaits."

Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"A somewhat luxary experience at a reasonable price. We enjoyed the free ice cream and drinks numerous times. There was a free craft where we painted wind chimes, a nod to a local wind chime festival, that the family loved and made great souvenirs. For the most part everything in the room was great and comfortable. The location is mostly very good but the 5-10 minute walk to the train station does get repetitive, but it's good value for the money and everything you want for food is nearby. I liked the double sink bathroom. I have a few suggestions for improvement. These are just nitpicks, overall really liked the hotel. - the 4 bed room is really a 2 bed room with the cots set up, which is fine, it's still spacious enough for Japan. But there was only 2 hooks for towels when there is a lot of wall space in the bathroom. Should be at least 4 hooks if it's sometimes a 4 bed room. - the TV based system for room cleaning is silly. Our room got cleaned when we asked for it not to be, and they had a laminated apology note indicating it happens a lot. Just stick to the note on the door system then; if it's not broken you can't fix it. - the light in the toilet was an automatic sensor, but when you get up in the middle of the night you don't want a full bright light... again it's a case of the hotel doing too much to its own detriment."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"I have never stayed at a place like this before where leaving was hard, not only are the stuff super welcoming and knowledgeable but they also provide excellent customer services. As for amenities, you will feel at home. I truly fell in love with this place <3"

insomnia KYOTO OIKE

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were quite a good size for Japan and the place is spotlessly clean. They have a 24/7 area where you can get water, fruit juices, tea, coffee and they have a machine that will dispense beer or wine for 500 YEN (coin only, this needs to be changed to a credit card to make it easier). They put out bread and overbaked croissants everyday, maybe add crisps and nuts in packets, as i saw one person put their hand in the nut jar! Fab location, in a great area to walk into the main shopping areas and not too far from the gardens and palaces. Very close to a subway station and bars and restaurants. I would definitely stay at this hotel again. One thing i would ask for is a way to be able to plug a HDMI device into the TV as all channels in Japanese, which is fine, but when you are staying there for 3 days or more it would be nice to relax with a movie etc in the evenings. Wifi was also good."
