Minn Gion Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place and location"

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"I would highly recommend this hotel and would stay again. The room was very sleek clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly. The bakery in the lobby was a quick easy way to grab a quick tasty bite before going out for the day. Rooftop bar was very nice. It’s located near the more traditional neighborhood , and was about a 20 minute very pleasant walk to the lively night life district / pontocho alley area. It was a short walk from Kiyomizu dera temple which was awesome to visit . Only downside was it was a bit far from Kyoto station, and with our bags, we opted to take a taxi every time we went to and from. There were some smaller metro stations close by but some of the larger ones to get to the big attractions we taxied to. Overall a small inconvenience and would still likely stay here again!!! "

Hyatt Regency Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"We had stayed at 3 other hotels in Japan and by far the customer service was fantastic!! We were welcomed right away as we got out of our taxi and knowing it was a super hot day, we were given ice cold water bottles right away. There were chairs to relax in which was so nice. Interesting when we stayed at the Intercontinental in Tokyo there were so chairs to sit and signs everywhere stating not sit on the ledges. We were walked up to our room and when we asked for extra pillows/blanket the young lady brought them in less then a minute which usually sometimes takes hours to get. Big shoutout to the best concierge staff ever! One of the ladies helped schedule a hair cut appt for my daughter and myself which was super last minute. She really wanted to help us. And we got amazing cut/color within 5 min walking distance to hotel. The next mornign when asking again for help with getting to the airport on train the concierge helped outline everything on the subways and color coded it. Only downside is they don’t have a pool. Breakfast buffet was really good! Chef even came out to great everyone and to get feedback. "

Hiyori Stay Kyoto Kamogawa

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our visit to Kyoto and the accommodations provided by the Hiyori Stay Kyoto Kamogawa. The hotel is located on a quiet street but not far from local attractions. It is somewhat centrally situated between the main train station and the Gion district, which worked out well for us as we used this property as our hub while exploring Kyoto and also taking day trips. The room was a decent size and well equipped with everything we needed. It had a small kitchen that we didn't use, but also a refrigerator and washer/dryer that we did use. The drying feature in the shower area worked surprisingly well and it was nice to have clean clothes before moving on in our journey. The staff was also very friendly and helped us in many ways, including with dinner reservations. I would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again when I am in Kyoto."
