Top Rakushisha Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was huge. The onsen was fantastic. I think it’s my go to Kyoto hotel"

Ben's Guesthouse Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"My son and I stayed at Ben's Guesthouse for four nights in September 2026. Our room was clean and plenty spacious. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean and totally functional, nice shower/bath. The air conditioning was comfortable and reliable. There is a strict no-shoes policy which is enforced by placing your footwear in designated slots before you enter beyond the office area. It's easy to adjust to this policy, and it translates into very clean floors throughout. Ben's is in a quiet and clean neighborhood, and particularly quiet at night, as all the stores on that particular street close early. There is still plenty going on at all hours within walking distance. We felt really lucky to have discovered Ben's Guesthouse. If I ever return to Kyoto, that's where I'll stay, beyond a doubt."

Kyoto Umekoji Kadensho

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Togetsutei

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was definitely a delightful experience. I have never stayed in a ryokan before and this will definitely set the bar high. Staff was very helpful. We used the private onsen and not the public one and it was great. The bed on the tatami floor was surprisingly comfortable. Our room came with excellent Japanese dinner and breakfast. That was very close to the bamboo Grove so we were able to visit early in the morning without the crowds. It is also very close to a lot of tourist attractions. My only regret is not staying longer."

Hotel Excellence Enmachi Ekimae

8/10 Good

"As a budget hotel, this one is reasonably good, it is close to subway, bus stations and many restaurants. It lacks of laundry facilities, the nearest coin laundry is 5min walk away. The room is a bit smaller than the last hotel I stayed but in-room facilities are sufficient."

Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto - Kyoritsu Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was a masterclass in how to run a hotel. Clean rooms, a large powerful shower with superb water pressure and a very large and comfortable bed. The air con was easy to work. The bathroom had considerable amounts of shelving and there was plenty of hanging space. A fridge in the room is always great. So many hotels don’t do the basics well - this one certainly does and it was amazing. Great location near a 7-11 and train station too. A perfect base for exploring Kyoto and a fabulous breakfast too. Five stars 🌟"
