Top Mount Hiei Hotel Reviews

The Westin Miyako Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Very happy would visit again and recommend!"

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"Very clean and quiet hotel with great staff! Walking distance to subway station, shopping, and dining area."

Yumotokan

10/10 Excellent

"My partner and I had an amazing time here!! We wanted a private onsen bc we have tattoos and it was everything we wanted and more!! The staff were so kind and attentive and the room and amenities blew us away, we will definitely be back and book an even longer stay next time!"

Biwako Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was gorgeous, it gave you that really comforting feeling especially after a full day of walking. We booked the private spa due to having tattoos it was magnificent, definitely book the half board the staff for dinner and breakfast were amazing! I absolutely loved the restaurant ladies they were such welcoming people and loved to feed us. Thank you all for such an amazing experience"

The Prince Kyoto Takaragaike, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"It was an amazing experience at Prince Kyoto. The view from the room was breath taking. It’s one of the best experiences I have had staying at this hotel. The staff was extremely polite and went above and beyond to help. We enjoyed their hospitality and kindness. Love to stay here again in future."

Hotel Okura Kyoto Okazaki Bettei

10/10 Excellent

"The room was really nice. Very spacious and beautifully designed. Our room appeared to be one of two rooms overlooking a car park but that didn’t bother us. It was a bonus to be able to log in to Netflix at the end of long days touring and making use of the hotel’s happy hour between 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm. There’s easy access to their garden. We didn’t eat at their restaurant and the breakfast option did seem a bit pricey. All staff were very friendly and professional. We would definitely stay there again and certainly recommend."

Biwako Ryokusuitei

10/10 Excellent

"Oh my God, I am obsessed with the Ryokusuitei! I could not believe such a place existed. Throughout our stay, we felt treated as royalty. The service❤️ Oh, I miss all the hard-working ladies and gentlemen at this hotel - they were so good to us ❤️ The food, the FOOD was so amazing ❤️ The evening kaiseki shabu-shabu, as well as the sprawling Japanese-style breakfast (be aware this is a Japanese breakfast buffet, not an international one, so if you don't like fish or pickles - that's on you). The private onsen on the balcony, with a view of the lake! I could cry just thinking about it. The water was lightly scented 🌺 The hotel is well worth the price, when you are basically getting the royal experience for a short little while. They also have a free shuttle that will pick you up at the nearest train station, which is easily accessible both from Osaka station and from Kyoto. Overall 10/10 highly recommend!"

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in Kyoto. They offer amazing toiletries/guest amenities!!!"

Kyoto Ohara Ryokan Seryo

10/10 Excellent

"This was such a beautiful place to stay. The room was clean and large. The staff was helpful, nice and kind. The food was such an experience. I love it! The view from my room was perfect. I look forward to bring my family here."
