Kyoto Hotel Guide - Shoren-in Temple hotels in Kyoto, Japan.

"Great location amazing breakfast and very friendly staff"

"The room was equipped with all little necessities the traveller might need- hairbrush, toothbrush toothpaste slippers and more. The hotel is centrally located in the mid of the liveliest Kyoto area on top of Takase canal lined with beautiful Sakura trees. The Blue bottle cafe downstairs has the best coffee and the Master’s Dream house restaurant has the best beer. Walking distance to Maruyama park and Kyoto Takashimaya shopping mall. Amazing stay!"

"The rooms were very nice and the beds were heavenly!! The breakfast was okay, but overall the hotel was a wonderful stay in a great location!"

"OK, the room is small, so family of 3, very challenging navigate around the room, but most hotel rooms are small in Japan, so not complain about it, but wish a bit bigger room would be nice. Other than, everything was very nice, exceptional location, and hotel staff very nice and attentive, located in quite street, and tons of restaurants close by (but be warn that they are a bit pricy and some even overpriced), and having breakfast in hotel is a big plus, good variety of breakfast options, of course, you are ok to eat fish appetizers in the morning, you are in luck. I can easily recommend this hotel!"

"Great location, close the to the train station. Lots of food and shopping options around. The room was a good size. Would stay here again. "

"Hotel is in a great central location! Close by to Pontocho, Gion and train station. The canal next to the hotel was so beautiful with cherry blossoms and willow trees. Comfy beds and cozy rooms. The breakfast buffet was good also. Note that the hotel's restaurant closes by 3 pm. Would definitely recommend this hotel!"

"This is a very special hotel. It’s walking distance to Heian shrine. Lots of good hiking spots near by. The food selection is a little sparse, but there are some good spots near by. The room was very large and we got a view of a cherry tree from our room. Joshua from the staff was very nice and set us up for a great trip."

"Everything was great. I have not had croissants in the morning. They didn’t have."

"To be honest, our first room was quite terrible. It was old and dirty. The floors looked so gross I didn’t even want to put my bare feet on them. So why the good ratings? Well, after contacting Expedia to see about cancelling my reservation so I could move to a completely different hotel, the on duty manager offered to move me to another room. That room was significantly better - it was on a floor that had been renovated just a few years ago. I don’t know if they reserve this floor for higher priced reservations, but I was told it was an “equivalent room”. But it was so much better, I couldn’t be happier. So my tip would be, if you’re assigned the 15th floor, ask for something different… 16th floor if you can get it."
