Top Ryoan-ji Temple Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Unique taken for hotel. From the PJs to the little things like free ice cream, ramen and onsen. Just great value. I did not try the breakfast"

KOKO HOTEL Residence Kyoto Nijo Castle

10/10 Excellent

"The room was super spacious and comfortable for our family of 4 for 6 nights. Although it is not right in the centre of the action, it is in a great location with good food and konbini near by. About 20 minutes to the downtown area and less than 10 minutes to the subway station."

Agora Place Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are small but clean and nice."

RESI STAY Nishijin

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at Resi Nishijin in Kyoto with my family of 4 and the room was big and well equipped. Clean and beds were comfortable. The washing machine was handy and the space was appreciated. The area whilst quiet is connected well with buses. There is a bus stop right outside. It is about 25mins walk to the golden pavilion. It is a 20-25min bus ride back to Kyoto Station and about 3600 Yen via taxi to the Station as Buses don’t allow big luggages on board - although I saw many foreigners do this during our bus ride. Get an all day bus pass for 1100 yen - good value. Google maps works well to help get you around. If you prefer to be closer to Kyoto station - then this isn’t the place for you but we appreciated the space of the room so it worked for us. Staff at reception were nice and we had a free shuttle to the hotel but had to book a taxi for our ride back to Kyoto station after checkout. Plenty of nice places to eat around the hotel and supermarket across the street. Lifts were available too."

Hotel Excellence Enmachi Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"Very cozy and accommodating! Would definitely stay again!"

Guest House Oumi - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"The owner Tomi is extremely attentive and will provide you with a multitude of services within and around the guest house. The traditional Japanese rooms are located on the second floor up a VERY STEEP set of stairs, keep that in mind for luggage and beverages. The onsen around the corner is super nice and you’re nearby to both JR station and local subways. Tomi also cooks egg breakfast sandwiches daily 7-9 am, has tea, coffee, and cold water/electric kettle available anytime. 12-5 pm is cleaning hours and you cannot stay in the building during this time as far as I’m aware."

OKU Kamishichiken

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place to stay in an area of Kyoto that’s close to a few large, beautiful shrines. Really great room complemented by a wonderful, helpful staff. Would love to stay here again!"

Ryokan Tori

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful experience. We experienced a lovely tea ceremony. The hostess was very familiar with the area. Would recommend this place to anyone who wants an authentic Kyoto experience"

Urban Hotel Kyoto Nijo Premium

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel close to Nijo station and Castle. The staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean and spacious. Close to grocery store and a few restaurants. Laundry amenities handy to have available."
