Top Heian Shrine Hotel Reviews

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I had a wonderful stay at The Cross Hotel in Kyoto. The hotel itself is beautifully designed and our room was spacious with plenty of natural light from the large window overlooking the canal and walking path. The bathroom was lovely with a large soaking tub, and the associated amenities — all without charge (bath salts, natural loofa-type wash cloths etc) were very much appreciated. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and offered a wide array of options. We would return to this hotel and recommend it highly."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and nice breakfast buffet. The exclusive lounge was also nice, but food was not replenished quickly. Great staff and well maintained hotel."

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Definitely recommend. One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at in Japan, don’t underestimate it!"

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"This property was walking distance to a bunch of markets such as Nishiki, Termachi, etc. There are lots to do around the area and very close to Kamo river with restaurants. I got sick when I got to Kyoto so the staff gave me English speaking medical clinics around the area. The property is nice and has laundry downstairs but there is a long wait time as everyone is trying to wash/dry their clothes. The breakfast is decent even though it is a bit pricey for Japan I would say. But there are variety of food. We also upgraded our room upon check in to have more space and they were able to accommodate pretty quickly."

Hotel Resol Trinity Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Such an amazing place to stay. The staff were great and spoke fluent English. The room was also great with a comfy bed. The hotel was near all the shopping and dining areas, within walkable distance, and all the sightseeing was a short train ride away. I would book this place in a heartbeat on my next trip."
