"We stayed in Room number one. It was incredible. It was such a wonderful experience to stay in a historic building that had modern amenities and a lot of space. The room decorations and sliding doors were beautiful. The living room overlooks the garden. Everything was clean. It was nice to have the communal food area to grab coffee in the morning and a light meal. Be aware that the room entrance for the room is right next to the lobby. There are stairs to climb to get up to the room. We will...

Kyoto Garden Palace

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at the Kyoto Garden Inn. It was a little bit out of the way for seeing all the different attractions in Kyoto. The room was clean and the staff was friendly. We would recommend this hotel to all our friends."

Kyoto Brighton Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are EXCELLENT ! The hotel is far from everything and although you have shuttle service, you have to deal with the subway... or a taxi. Staff is very nice but unfortunately they don't speak English well enough to understand you... this problem is not only at this hotel, is everywhere!!"

Agora Place Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are small but clean and nice."

RESI STAY Nishijin

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at Resi Nishijin in Kyoto with my family of 4 and the room was big and well equipped. Clean and beds were comfortable. The washing machine was handy and the space was appreciated. The area whilst quiet is connected well with buses. There is a bus stop right outside. It is about 25mins walk to the golden pavilion. It is a 20-25min bus ride back to Kyoto Station and about 3600 Yen via taxi to the Station as Buses don’t allow big luggages on board - although I saw many foreigners do this during our bus ride. Get an all day bus pass for 1100 yen - good value. Google maps works well to help get you around. If you prefer to be closer to Kyoto station - then this isn’t the place for you but we appreciated the space of the room so it worked for us. Staff at reception were nice and we had a free shuttle to the hotel but had to book a taxi for our ride back to Kyoto station after checkout. Plenty of nice places to eat around the hotel and supermarket across the street. Lifts were available too."
