"ホテルの顔である玄関の自動ドアの電源が切れてて、手動を強要してる。 Wifiが使えるか聞いたら、ロビー近くしか使えないといわれた。にも拘わらず部屋にランケーブルも無ければ、言わないと貸してくれない。大荷物持ってるのに階段でどうぞ！と言われた。（エレベーターもあるのに）部屋の鍵が解りにくいのに説明なし。（鍵を回しながらドアを押さないと開かない）ホテルの門限23時。歴史的には有名な地である点と川の中州に建てられたホテルなので景色は良いけど、何もなくて不便だった… フロントも居たり居なかったり、呼び鈴を押すタイプ。愛想は悪くなかったけど、シルバー人材センターのアルバイトって感じだった。掃除はよくされてたけど、施設は古く快適とはいいがたかった… 眺望は良かったけど、リピートはしないな。"

Top Ishiyamadera Temple Hotel Reviews

THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel. We loved the footbath."

Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. Great location and friendly staff. We picked this hotel because it has a gym and an onsen. It was a great stay."

Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, very beautiful and staff were incredible. My only critique is the mini bar. To me its an out dated design and a bit insulting, like your spending money to be there only to be met with auto charged drinks. Water is also given free so it’s a bit redundant. Besides that though! Perfect stay, 100% recommend."

Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Lovely calm hotel. Sitting at tea house on lake with a wonderful lady who gave us a table( we hadn’t pre booked) was a great experience"

Smile Hotel Otsu Seta

10/10 Excellent

"部屋が綺麗で良いホテルでした"

Kyoto Universal Hotel Karasuma

10/10 Excellent

"It was a nice little Place for what I needed. I spent most of the time traveling around but it was good for a place to sleep and shower. The breakfast was good early in the morning and they do offer Dinner too but I did not take advantage because of the good food in Japan."

Toyoko Inn Kyoto Biwako Otsu

10/10 Excellent

"Toyoko Hotels are usually great. They are clean, convenient, and affordable, and they tend to have lots of useful amenities or people who might have forgotten to bring something like a toothbrush or razor. This particular hotel has a really convenient location that's a short walk from several train stations and from a couple of very charming and pleasant shopping arcades. Miidera (三井寺) and Lake Biwa (琵琶湖) are also manageable walks. Otsu is a lovely and underrated city, and this hotel is in a really nice part of the city."

Park Hyatt Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was extremely helpful. Jacobo at the concierge made our stay so enjoyable he made superb itineraries recommendations. He also recommended restaurants and cafés to go and he made the reservations for us. I highly recommend this facility."

Apa Hotel Biwako Seta Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful friendly. "
