10/10 Excellent

"I place was spotless, staff was friendly and the breakfast was excellent!!!!"

Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"It was right off a main street"

KOKO HOTEL Residence Kyoto Nijo Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Great, cozy hotel for families. Decent space for a family of 4-5 and close to major attractions. Only thing we didn't like is that the smoking area was right in front of the elevators. It would have been nice if they had a different designated area."

Agora Place Kyoto Nijo

8/10 Good

"The Agora place is a no frills but relaxed hotel. There are amenities on the ground floor that are all you need. The room was a reasonable size and very clean. The staff were helpful and friendly. There is a large supermarket very close. The hotel is close to the Nijo castle and Imperial palace and an easy walk to bus stops and metro station with direct access to Kyoto station. My room was quiet but the hotel is situated on a busy noisy road."

Urban Hotel Kyoto Nijo Premium

10/10 Excellent

"80代母と50代娘二人で泊まりました。部屋はとても綺麗でした。ベッドマットも硬めでいい感じでした。朝ごはんビュッフェがどれも美味しい！さらに、スタッフの方々が細かに目を配り、お声かけしてくださったので、何も困ることなく、大満足でした。おかげさまで良い旅行になりました。ありがとうございました。"
