"The owner was very lovely and polite, he prep matcha tea for welcoming us also offering fresh bread making in the morning for our breakfast but my family were very tired from a long day travelling and activities we did in the area, we just want to sleep in so we had to miss out on that. House was clean. The bath was the highlight for us. Just the tap in both toilets a bit hard to operate so we had to wash our hands in the bathroom instead."

"This is the perfect place for an authentic Japanese experience. The staff are wonderful and the meals are superb. Tranquil surroundings with a 5 star multi-course meals each day for breakfast and dinner. The sauna and hot baths were great for winding down after a day of touring. Touring was easy because bus lines and train lines are nearby. We were sorry to leave the Tea House and really hope to return some day. "

"Super location and quiet room with real Japanese style bed on floor. Practical for trips into town or further since bus stops are right beside the building. Locally within walking distance there are ramen restaurants also temples and the Philosophers path. Suited me perfectly as I don't spend much time in hotel I like to be out taking photos. If I visit Kyoto again I would love to stay here again."

Top Sakyo Ward Hotel Reviews

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Umekoji

8/10 Good

"Loved this hotel. Bed was comfortable. Room was a good size, was soundproof and had a blackout blind. Slept brilliantly every night. Heating was good during the cold weather. The private baths were a bonus which I made good use of to ease my aching feet each night. Great that you can check how crowded it is from your room, who knew midnight was a popular time! Handy to have the family mart connected to hotel and aa starbucks next door. Note, it is a bit far out if you like any nightlife but the buses are very easy to get to other areas of the city. "

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely property with magnificent staff in every station. Room was lovely, bed comfortable and temperature easy to control. Breakfast varied and everything tasty. Coffee really good. English primary language. Bed very comfortable. 10 out of 10. Beware of one thing, avoid low square footage rooms thinking your saving money…"

The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel but breakfast was cold and very boring. nit enough choices for Westerners and ask fir awake call and the refused. king of strange fur a hotel. The evening staff was rude in my opinion. Hotel was clean and on the cusp on weather or not i would stay there again "

Hotel Emion Kyoto

6/10 Okay

"The hotel itself is nice and spacious for Japanese standards. Unfortunately, the location has little to offer- the locals nearby definitely do not like foreigners. Also, it was the only hotel in our trip that was adamant on the check in time. We arrived an hour early and had to sit in the lobby for an hour. (I get it, rules are rules but our Tokyo and Osaka hotels were more lenient). On the bright side, it’s close to the train station. "
