Top Southern Kyoto Hotel Reviews

Rihga Gran Kyoto

8/10 Good

"A well positioned hotel close to the main station. The room was spacious, well maintained with wonderfully comfortable beds. The bathroom was good. We didn't eat at the hotel as we generally prefer to eat elsewhere. We did consider having breakfast but the price seemed very high compared to local eating establishments. Free coffee and soft drinks in the reception area was a nice touch. My only complaint was the lifts; they were plainly possessed by some malignant spirit and rarely went to the requested floor without visiting a number of random floors first!! Overall, a good hotel to stay at but use the stairs if you're in a hurry."

"The room was comfortable and clean but pretty tight for two people. Breakfast seemed expensive for the options, but the food was good. Location was very convenient, connecting right to the train station, which is why we chose it, so no complaints."

Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA

10/10 Excellent

"All the amenities, lobby, and room were very clean, spacious, and well-maintained! The luggage lockers were especially helpful. Two tips: (1) make sure you rinse off in one of the showers near the public bath before entering (this isn't listed on the list of "rules" but it is, indeed, one). (2) Be prepared to wait awhile for the laundry machines to open up; they were full for a while when we were there. Also you'll probably have to run the drying cycle 1.5 times to get your load fully dry."
