Top Kodai-ji Temple Hotel Reviews

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the coffee/tea machine in the lobby and the cup of sake at night. Also pleased to have the lobby dining area to relax around in the evening with our group. Grateful for the bath crystals the hotel provided to soak in the tub too. The only negative for me was the distance to the subway was a longer walk than I would have preferred."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

"I really enjoyed this hotel. I will be back for sure if we get a chance to visit kyoto again someday. I love how close it is to nishiki market, but also transit to other places was super close. Only thing I noticed was the front end staff were surface level polite, but when I asked for help a few times they got frustrated with me. Only way I could tell is they made my questions feel dumb and honestly they probably were, but in my case, navigating their luggage delivery service was new to me since we dont have this where I live and it took my a few tries to navigate their site. I think the staff were friendly enough, but didnt have a lot of patience if you didnt understand something or had questions. Tbh I only asked like 2 questions l, but who knows, maybe they had a lot that day."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"The hotel was nice, a little crowded at times with a lot of groups coming in at once, and a lot of suitcases in the reception area. A different concept from western people, shoes off of the premises at all times, the hot springs was definitely something extra to do, breakfast buffet had a lot of options specially for asian people, wish it had more variety from continental. Hotel offers laundry room, and free ice cream bars, and soup from 9pm to 11pm. Overall we had a good time."

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"This is the best hotel I've stayed in Japan. No question I would come back here again. We stayed for 4 nights and wished we could've stayed longer and just take more day trips from there. It's steps from transportation, shopping, restaurants. What I love about the hotel is the warm reception, helpful staff, beautiful clean rooms (relatively spacious too), comfortable beds, and nice showers. The lobby is also a relaxing place to sip tea or coffee in lounge chairs. We tried luggage forwarding for the first time. The staff helped make the process super easy and accurate. Nothing to complain about."

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location next to shops, restaurants, and stations. Provide LOTS of free amenities if you ever forget anything, free tea/coffee in lobby, and a PJ set. The staff were very helpful with luggage forwarding. They provided clean towels, water, and eye masks every day. Laundry is on two separate floors. One machine broke during our stay so we had to use one on a different floor which only took ¥100 coins."
