Top Kodai-ji Temple Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"I wish there was more massage chairs and a 24 soda dispenser rather than just only forming dining hours. I loved the Yalkut and ramen bar."

THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"LOVED this hotel. Beautiful design, lovely staff…we will definitely be back!"

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and nice breakfast buffet. The exclusive lounge was also nice, but food was not replenished quickly. Great staff and well maintained hotel."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"This property was walking distance to a bunch of markets such as Nishiki, Termachi, etc. There are lots to do around the area and very close to Kamo river with restaurants. I got sick when I got to Kyoto so the staff gave me English speaking medical clinics around the area. The property is nice and has laundry downstairs but there is a long wait time as everyone is trying to wash/dry their clothes. The breakfast is decent even though it is a bit pricey for Japan I would say. But there are variety of food. We also upgraded our room upon check in to have more space and they were able to accommodate pretty quickly."

APA Hotel Kyoto Gion EXCELLENT

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, right in middle of Gion. Close to everything. Short walk to 2 subway stops/lines. Close the shopping district, just across the river. Lots of stores and restaurants close by, small alley ways w local places to eat and shop. Rooms are clean and well appointed. We had adjoining rooms, good space, comfy beds. A bit firm but still comfy, same w pillows. Not the super soft fluffy kind, but Ok for me. Breakfast was good. Small, but lots of choice w some English/American options and nice Japanese/ local offerings. More than enough to start the day. Would definitely stay here again when I return to magical Gion, Kyoto."

The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this hotel so much that we stayed two extra nights!! I can’t say enough good things about Hotel Seiryu in Kyoto. The property is amazing…a tranquil escape from the tourist-ridden streets. You turn into the property and immediately enter paradise. I will definitely return to this hotel in the future."
