Kyoto Hotel Guide - Hosenji Temple hotels in Kyoto, Japan.

"My family of 6 stayed here for 5 days, 4 nights. The hotel is in a super convenient location. There is a path that connects the hotel directly to the train station. So clean and spacious. Amazing skin care/face wash/shampoo/conditioners provided. The hotel smells amazing. Rooftop access gives beautiful views of Kyoto. Would definitely stay here again. The hotel staff were very helpful and helped us ship our luggages from here to the next hotel in Osaka! Cannot praise this hotel enough."

"Didn’t know it was a ‘love hotel’ when I ordered but still had fun. The staff are very nice and accommodating. Breakfast was fair, instant coffee/tea in the room available. Kettle was very useful as we had ramen every night. You have to talk with Google Translate to the receptionist. The strangest part was the door system: to go in or out you have to call the reception, which wasn’t very convenient. The window was very small and you cannot fully open it. Otherwise, excellent experience. The room is huge, bathtub and shower is in a giant separate room ( not sure why). "

"Wonderful location and environment, good food and staff"

"Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in kyoto. Quiet, fresh and clean, very comfortable, super convenient (across from bus and train station) and lovely surroundings (didn’t feel like a concrete jungle). Starbucks and convenience store right beside us. Of all the places we visited in Kyoto during our tours we continually agreed that this hotel made for the best home base. Breakfast buffet was wonderful! "

"Beautiful aesthetic-artfully done in the rooms and gardens. "

"Staff was helpful"

"If you are staying here it is awesome. Might be tricky getting there and getting food if not B&B but the place is amazing. My only downside was in my dietary requirements but the food that i could eat was delicious "

"We enjoyed our one night in this Ryokan. It was fun and authentic. There was a certian peace and relaxed mode that it put us on. We are a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens). The room #24 was spacious, clean, and well kept. Yes, we wore the provided pajamas/yukata. The shower had great pressure and was also spacious. Friendly staff and food at the restaurant was yummy. The gardens were beautiful traditional Japanese gardens. As always, loved the toilet/bidet. Loved this spot!"

"This was my family’s first Japanese osen and I hope it will not be the last. The property was very clean and charming. The shuttle to and from the train station was convenient but didn’t start until 9 am and ended before 6 pm. However, the taxi fare was ok and we only needed to use it once during our two night stay to get back from sightseeing in Kyoto,’. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and, I think, very traditional Japanese food. The hot springs were at the perfect temperature. Our futon beds were comfortable. Overall, our stay was immensely relaxing. If you are looking for a very traditional, serene Japanese experience,, at least from the perspective of an American, I believe you will find it here."
