Top Otani Sobyo Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

"We stayed in the Nohga Suite… WOW! The room was next level, the location was so convenient and the breakfasts at the restaurant were one of the best we’ve ever had. The rooftop bar was also 👌 Highly recommend!"

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

"Très bon emplacement, et très bon rapport qualité prix"

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."

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"the two best things about this hotel are the location and the breakfast. the hotel is clean and the rooms are very nice the shower also very nice. the neighborhood around the hotel is very interesting and full of life."

"Loved the location of this hotel. The room was a little small compared to our others throughout the stay but we had an amazing, wall to wall king size bed. Just wish there was an small area in the room for luggage"

THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC

10/10 Excellent

"A spotless hotel. Very quiet. Great breakfast."

APA Hotel Kyoto Gion EXCELLENT

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, right in middle of Gion. Close to everything. Short walk to 2 subway stops/lines. Close the shopping district, just across the river. Lots of stores and restaurants close by, small alley ways w local places to eat and shop. Rooms are clean and well appointed. We had adjoining rooms, good space, comfy beds. A bit firm but still comfy, same w pillows. Not the super soft fluffy kind, but Ok for me. Breakfast was good. Small, but lots of choice w some English/American options and nice Japanese/ local offerings. More than enough to start the day. Would definitely stay here again when I return to magical Gion, Kyoto."
