Top Katsura Hotel Reviews

Hotel Granvia Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and beautiful hotel. Since it's located in the station it's right next to a bunch of great food places and trains to every major location and attraction. The staff are extremely helpful and attentive, plus most of them could speak English."

THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"The Blossom was a true Experience for us. It is what we imagined a modern Japanese hotel would be like. Rooms are spacious, and tastefully appointed. The decor, Onsen in the basement, provided Yukata with instructions all suggested we are in Japan. The staff are very helpful and respectful. Any amenities you may imagine from forgotten shavers, hairbrushes, toothbrushes etc to beauty products are present in the room. They did not have coffee in room, but we could access the basement lounge anytime with state of the art Nespresso beverage dispenser, juice, ice cream etc. This was our best experience in Japan, having stayed in 3 hotels here. We are one stop away from Kyoto Station on the Karasuma line. Get off at Gojo station The in house restaurant was very good. We had seared Salmon and the seasonal fish (Spanish mackerel with clams). The salmon was excellent, mackerel was mackerel. We only wish we could stay there longer."
