Top Southern Kyoto Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"The only thing that could have been better were the bed sizes. We are a family of 4 I am 6'2 242 lbs and my wife and kids are small in size and height 5ft and under and we barely fit in the 2 beds provided. Other than that this hotel is great and is close to everything. From here we were able to reach all train and bus stops to move freely around Kyoto and there is the main post office nearby at Kyoto station. The onsen was amazing and after a long day of walking it truly relaxes you and sets you up nicely for bed. The sauna is set at 200 degrees Fahrenheit and will really get any impurities out of you so if you do get sick get in there quick. All in all a great stay."

Mercure Kyoto Station

"I had three weeks in Japan and my four nights here were the best stays of the trip. It’s nothing more than a five minute stroll from Kyoto station which makes moving around the city easy, and is walking distance from a plethora of places to eat and drink, as well multiple city attractions. The reception staff are kind and exceptionally polite, the room was beautiful and spacious with a beautiful view across the city; it smelt good and it was maintained daily to a fantastic standard amongst our bags and clutter. Sometimes it’s easy to try and avoid chain hotels but this one felt different, it felt full of love and appreciation for guests. Don’t hesitate to stay here, you won’t regret it."
