Top Kawai Shrine Hotel Reviews

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice location"

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

Ace Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Amazing room and staff. We used the coffee shop for morning grab n go and once the hotel bar for drinks. Very clean great location"

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"We loved everything! When we arrived it was peak check-in time but the front desk staff were plentiful and checked everyone in quickly, which was impressive! Super friendly and attentive staff throughout the hotel (bar, restaurant, housekeeping and as mentioned front desk staff). The room (jr suite) was decorated tastefully and the sound system was a nice surprise old school tube and horn system!"

Agora Place Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and had just enough space for 2 people, maybe not for people with bigger/larger amounts of luggage than 1/person. The hotel was located within walking distance of Nijo Castle and to Kyoto Gyoen National Garden where the Kyoto Imperial Palace is located. The Garden and the Imperial Palace grounds are free to enter, so it was a very pleasant experience regardless of the rain. If you are looking for a quieter, more laid-back area to stay in with food options, I would recommend staying at Agora Nijo."

Cross Hotel Kyoto

"Great hotel in a fantastic location. The staff were very friendly. The rooms are large and well maintained. We had a washing machine in our room which was excellent. The onsen was incredible."
