Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location and stay"

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Room and facilties were very clean. Staff was very friendly and professional. Breakfast was spectacular. I highly recommend the on-site onsen and complimentary massage chairs for relaxation. After walking 10,000 plus steps per day, it really helped soothe my tired feet and entire body. This hotel is about a 10 minute walk from Kyoto Station."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

10/10 Excellent

"The location was great. It’s just a short walk from Sanjo Station, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. All of the staff were helpful. I stayed in a basement room with a small garden view, which made the room feel really peaceful and relaxing. There’s also an onsen in the basement, so it was nice to soak in the bath after walking around all day in the heat. I also liked being able to grab drinks from the vending machines and then head back to my room to relax. The only downside was that one of the beds squeaked whenever I moved (the other bed was perfectly fine). I wish I’d asked the staff to replace it, because it woke me up a few times during the night."

Hotel Granvia Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is located in the main Kyoto transit station which makes it super convenient! Not only is the location ideal, the hotel itself is very upscale and offers a lot of great amenities. We didn't get a chance to use it, but they even have a pool onsite. Note that children can't use the pool though, which was the main reason we didn't use it. The staff is readily available to answer questions and were very kind throughout our interactions. We would definitely stay here again!"

JR WEST GROUP VIA INN PRIME KYOTOEKI HACHIJOGUCHI

8/10 Good

"Located right next to Kyoto station, the hotel is convenient for getting where you need to within the city. Rooms are spacious, although you have to manually turn the air conditioning on each time you put the key card into the holder. The breakfast buffet can be hit and miss, but the items remain the same every day"
