Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Loved all the free snacks and the use of the onsen after a long day was much needed!"

Hotel Granvia Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel's location is very convenient. Train station,shopping, restaurants, Kyoto tower, Airport Limousine service are all within walking distance. There are multiple things to do at night around the train station and hotel. Light shows, water light shows, illuminated projections, and displays all setup for photo opportunities. There are skywalks, massive escalators, and walkways everywhere. I spent 3 nights here and still did not see everything. With that said, because of the way the hotel is designed, the rooms can be very far from the elevators, but you can see some of the displays as you walk to your room. I am definitely staying here again. The staff are very courteous and attentive. They even left me a message asking if I needed anything because I left the "Do not disturb" sign out. Who does that these days? They also give you a paper every morning in English or Japanese. Now that's what I call service. We had no issues understanding any of the staff. Almost every spoke English. I can't say enough about how courteous and attentive they all are."

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. Great location. Food was phenomenal; best we had during our two week vacation in Japan. In addition, staff spoke English very well which was such a pleasant surprise. The only negative is the TV's in room did not have an English option and the rooftop was closed a lot due to rain when it never rained."

Kyoto Umekoji Kadensho

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and clean building. If you want to use the private Onsen, the best time is right after check-in, after dinner, and in the early morning. One thing to note is that the dinner meal and breakfast buffet are an additional fee. Overall, great stay, we would book again in the future for a relaxing night."
