Top Nijō Castle Hotel Reviews

KOKO HOTEL Residence Kyoto Nijo Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Top notch location"

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"The best stay in Japan. Very clean and new hotel, helpful and friendly staff, good location. We arrived 3 hours earlier, the rooms were ready, we were greeted with a complimentary lemondade and allowed to check in. Loved everything about that place, and Kyoto in general."

Park Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff, and close to train station , laundry in the hotel and very affordable ."

The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sanjo-Karasuma

8/10 Good

"Everything was great overall, with two exceptions. The tea ceremony invitation did not clearly mention the additional ¥7,500 fee, and the experience was disappointing for the price: instead of a guided ceremony, we watched a video and prepared the tea ourselves in a basic private room. The in-room washer/dryer was convenient but took an extremely long time to complete a cycle. Aside from these issues, we really enjoyed our stay."

Garrya Nijo Castle Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely building near a scenic historic castle and located close to public transportation to go anywhere else you would like to in Kyoto. The staff is superb, they are endlessly friendly and helpful and I can’t thank them enough for their outstanding service. The restaurant is excellent, aside from the breakfast which I gladly enjoyed every morning I actually enjoyed the dinner so much I went twice during my stay. The restaurant staff in particular were fun and friendly on top of being prompt and efficient. My room was beautiful and the bed was excellent. All the other amenities you would expect are present and the daily housekeeping is both prompt and unobtrusive. Needless to say I greatly enjoyed my stay here and I would gladly do it again and recommend it to any friends who plan a Kyoto vacation."

Agora Kyoto Karasuma

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. They accommodated our request within the room for our honeymoon. The room was modern, clean and comfy. They offered complimentary bread and coffee that was pretty good."

10/10 Excellent

"Truly, one of the coolest hotels I’ve ever stayed in, very unique, the restaurants were excellent, the bar the whole mood of the restaurant and the hotel was great"
