Otsu Hotel Guide - Ishiyama-dera hotels in Otsu, Japan.

"The room was very clean the beds comfortable. Lots of amenities and the breakfast had something for everyone. "

"Beautifully presented hotel with one of the most comfortable rooms I've ever stayed in. All the staff are very friendly and there are lots of them so you're never left waiting or without someone to ask. The rooftop bar is a must visit and the experience with the blankets, heaters and hand warmer is memorable. About 30 mins walk from the main train station and we had our luggage transferred to our next location, no trouble. Would definitely return again if staying in Kyoto."

"If we had known about this hotel earlier, we would have made it our main base in Kyoto. The location is extremely convenient, with easy access to both bus and train lines, and plenty of dining options in the surrounding area. The hotel itself is excellent and clearly very popular. The onsen is superb—spanning multiple floors—and the property offers a number of thoughtful extras, including complimentary ramen from 9 to 11 p.m., which was a fun and welcome touch. Overall, we were truly glad to have stayed here. It’s a fantastic, well-located hotel that makes exploring Kyoto effortless."

"Nice service, beautiful hotel. However, it could be a little warm in the room. Great otherwise. "

"Location is the best. "

"Wonderful location close to transportation, markets, shopping and must cost neighbourhoods. Staff were helpful and attentive. "

"Our experience at Six Senses Kyoto was extraordinary from start to finish. Every detail felt thoughtful, personal, and beautifully tailored to our family. What truly made our stay unforgettable was the outstanding care from the Kids Club team —Saki and Kaori. They went above and beyond for our 8-year-old son, creating moments of joy, learning, and connection that he will never forget. From fun activities to teaching him the art of origami, they brought so much warmth and magic to his days. Their kindness and attention made our stay feel deeply special. The reception team was equally impressive — attentive, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Every interaction felt genuine and gracious. Six Senses Kyoto is a sanctuary of beauty and calm, but it’s the people who made it truly exceptional. We are grateful for this experience and can’t wait to return."
