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

"Great location and breakfast!"

"The room cleanliness is excellent. The staff is very friendly. If you’re renting a car there are plenty of parking available. The Japanese breakfast is very satisfying and delicious."

"Great service amenities and super friendly staff. Delicious sento bath. Highly recommend"

"The staff was very helpful especially for checking on whether places were open and on obtaining a taxi. The rooms lack places to put your clothes and lack suitcases stands so one must plan to use the limited supply of hangars and live out of a suitcase. The showers are handheld so one might instead plan to use the open facilities and hot baths. The food was excellent and help is available everywhere."

"I'm so happy that we picked this hotel. While not the least expensive place in Kyoto, it was definitely worth the money spent. Our room was not facing the street, so bear that in mind since it is located on a busy street. The room was very quiet and very clean. We had a three bed hotel room and they provided a sleepshirt/yukata for each member of the family. The bathroom very clean and had one of the Toto bidet seats which was a plus for my wife. The room itself was pretty roomy for a Japanese hotel. The staff was extremely helpful. My limited Nihongo would have been issue, but fortunately several of the staff spoke English. The big plus was that the hotel had a European style bakery (Cicon), so you could have a light breakfast and coffee. The baguette was nice. They also have some unique Japanese flavored breads for sale. If you're adventurous, go for it. There is also a rooftop bar, but it was busy the time we visited so we didn't get a chance to sit up there. There is a self paid laundry on site. The hotel is about a 15 minute walk to the Kiyomizu temple and a 7 minute walk to the Kyomizu-Gojo subway station, so your tourist spots are very walkable via the local transportation. Oh, btw, there is a nice India/Bagladeshi restaurant called Chakra around the block. The owner speaks english and we had a great conversation with him."

"Rooms were clean and well kept. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Breakfast vouchers are for the Sizzler's down stairs. Getting updated coin washers and dryers would be a great help to the guests. Took us and several others hours of waiting for a dryer then hours to actually dry. Sad the Godzilla patio wasn't open. Was told that someone tried to climb up the Godzilla head so they have closed it until further notice."

"Room extremely uncomfortable. Water heater issues. Average cleanliness. Too expensive for what you get."

"Such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay on the outskirts of Kyoto ... a hidden and perfect respite to escape the busy city action but still close enough to pop in and check out all the amazing places in town. The facilities, the meals, and the service were awesome, and we'd like to especially mention the wonderful manager who always made us feel special, Koichi Koike! Thank you for a 5-star experience and we are already looking forward to returning to your hotel. Highly highly recommended!"

"Having a private bath in the patio was great. Staff was courteous and friendly, the food was excellent, and having three different open air hot spring was a plus. Ideal for solo travelers."
