Top Murin-an Hotel Reviews

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect place at perfect location full of perfect staff…"

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

8/10 Good

"Great location, near shops and restaurants, I would stay here again"

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"Very good stay"

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

"This hotel was mainly for the location, and the location is awesome for shopping. The room and hotel itself were okay. The rooms are a little outdated, and the beds had a few minor stains on the blankets, nothing that was terrible (all of our group had some kind of stain on the blankets in every room) but definitely made an impact on our visit to the hotel. The premium lounge is awesome, but located directly next to a smoking area, and was often just filled with smoke, which made it so we never went. Again the location is 100% worth it, and if you just want to use it as we did as a place to sleep while shopping in Kyoto, then its awesome."

Kyoto Nanzenji Garden Ryokan Yachiyo Established in 1915

10/10 Excellent

"We had an unforgettable one-night stay as a family of four (younger kids). The Kaiseki dinner was delicious, and the breakfast was simply the best we had during our entire trip to Japan! We booked the renovated KIKU room, which felt like a stunning private suite complete with a private outdoor onsen and a lovely garden view. The futons were clean and comfortable. What truly set this ryokan apart was the attentive, hospitable staff. They were quick to respond to our inquiries, seamlessly handled our early luggage drop-off, noticed how much we enjoyed the roasted green tea at dinner and surprised us with a fresh teapot after setting up our futons for the night. They even invited our kids to feed the fish in the gorgeous main garden after breakfast. Highly recommended for a special Kyoto experience! A quick tip for future guests: amenities vary significantly across the property's different buildings and rooms. Some rooms have shared facilities or face the street. So I highly recommend carefully reading the specific room description, or reaching out to the staff to confirm the details before booking, to ensure the room matches your expectations."

"A Peaceful, Elegant Haven in Kyoto Our stay at Dhawa Yura Kyoto (Oct 8–10) exceeded all expectations. The subtle, welcoming fragrance as you walk in sets the tone for a sparkling clean and serene experience. The service was flawless—the staff were exceptionally warm, efficient, and eager to help with anything we needed. We loved the aesthetic of our room, which felt authentically traditional while seamlessly integrating top-tier modern amenities. Plus, the location is unbeatable—a short walk to key transit hubs, great shopping, and delicious dining options. We can't wait to return!"
