Top Otsu Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is a tourist dream! The staff were accommodating and the place was extremely clean. The morning breakfast was incredible—fresh fish, a huge variety and a great system so you can wait in your room until a table is ready. Family of 2 adults and 2 10yo—- great location to Kyoto Station— we will return! "

THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the Premier Twin room and really enjoyed it. The cast iron bath was unusual and a little cramped but a very novel experience. The coffee station was really unique and some of the best coffee we’ve drunk in Japan. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again!"

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were very clean and spacious. The breakfast buffet had many options for Japanese breakfast vs. European breakfast, vs. US style breakfast. The beds were also very comfortable! The check in and check out process was more automated and easy to do. This property is also in a great location close to shopping and a train station. "

JR WEST GROUP VIA INN PRIME KYOTOEKI HACHIJOGUCHI

10/10 Excellent

"R West Group VIA INN Prime Kyotoeki Hachijoguchi is a solid choice mainly because of its unbeatable location. While the rooms do feel a bit outdated, the convenience more than makes up for it. The hotel is just a short walk from Kyoto Station and very close to malls and shopping centers, making it easy to get around and find food or things to do. Having a 7-Eleven right in the building is a huge plus and incredibly convenient, especially after a long day of sightseeing. The pajamas provided are also nice and comfortable, which was a pleasant bonus. Overall, if location and convenience matter more to you than modern room design, this hotel is definitely worth considering."
