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...

Hotel Granvia Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Such a great place with amazing staff and a zen vibe."

Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and functional. Great location and near to the station so easy to get about on foot, bus or train to attractions. Didn’t have much interaction with staff apart from checking in and breakfast but they were all friendly . The breakfast was lovely, delicious and lots of choices."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"This property was walking distance to a bunch of markets such as Nishiki, Termachi, etc. There are lots to do around the area and very close to Kamo river with restaurants. I got sick when I got to Kyoto so the staff gave me English speaking medical clinics around the area. The property is nice and has laundry downstairs but there is a long wait time as everyone is trying to wash/dry their clothes. The breakfast is decent even though it is a bit pricey for Japan I would say. But there are variety of food. We also upgraded our room upon check in to have more space and they were able to accommodate pretty quickly."
