Top hotels in Minami Ward

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo
"This hotel was clean and tidy. Very large and really lacked the personal touch. We checked in and out via touch screens and in the few days we were there didnt even speak to any staff. Had everything we needed and the location was perfect for the station."

Kyoto Universal Hotel Karasuma
"It was a nice little Place for what I needed. I spent most of the time traveling around but it was good for a place to sleep and shower. The breakfast was good early in the morning and they do offer Dinner too but I did not take advantage because of the good food in Japan."

Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA
"The hotel is within walking distance to the Kyoto train station. Very clean room and pleasant to stay. When you first step into the room after checking in, the TV screen shows the guest name that you are welcome to stay at their hotel, in Japanese and English, such a nice personalized welcoming atmosphere. ..."
