Top Nishikyo Ward Hotel Reviews

Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Best hotel I have stayed at, beautiful views and amenities! "

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The Nohga line is superior (even to most of the common American hotel names). The vibes are relaxing, modern, but Japanese touches. The hotel is very pretty -- has a beautiful rooftop bar area and an EXCELLENT bakery in the lobby (with vegan options)!!! The staff was so friendly and helpful. The concierge will help recommend places if you want to get a foot massage, or head treatment or anything and make the appointments for you. You can also rent eBikes from them if you reserve ahead of time. Loved staying here and if you get the opportunity to stay in this brand of hotels -- you should! "

THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel! The room was lovely, the hotel staff were very helpful, and there were many amenities (snack bar, drinks machine, many laundry machines available). The train station was just a few minutes away and about 15-20 minute walk to Kyoto Station. The area was calm and quiet at night. Also just a few minutes walk away from a convenience store. Would recommend to a friend and would definitely stay here again."

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

8/10 Good

"This hotel was really nice and in a good location. The entrance can be a bit tricky but once you get the hang of it it’s not bad at all. My only complaint is how humid it is once you get off on your floor after the elevator. There’s a door you need to get through to get to the hallway and it’s really humid in that little area for some reason. "
