Top Mount Hiei Hotel Reviews

THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Has a shuttle bus from Kyoto station. Hotel Higayama"

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."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"Solario Hotel, Kyoto: great location, pricey for what you get The location is the standout. It's easy to reach the main sights and getting around the city is simple, which makes it a very convenient base for exploring Kyoto. The rest of the stay was solid: everything was pretty good and nothing really let us down. The one drawback is value. Given what the room rate was, I expected a bit more, and it could be better for the price. Still, if location is your priority, it's hard to beat. Verdict: Recommended for the location. Just go in knowing the price is on the high side."

Ryokan Yoshida-sanso

8/10 Good

"Incredibile experience of staying in a traditional ryokan. Very calm/peaceful atmosphere and the most lovely staff. Our room had everything we needed however, no coffee machine. There was a cafe nearby though, and breakfast was delicious and included coffee."

Yumotokan

10/10 Excellent

"Fasntastic place to relax at. We were picked up at the train station and ushured into a relaxing lounge which we had unlimited access to for the duration of our stay, including the drinks and snacks, The check in process was very smooth and our bags were waiting for us in our room when we got there. We booked the in-room Onsen that we practically lived in. It was initially a bit hot for our liking but the staff were able to adjust it for us. We had an amazing nine course dinner that showcased the local produce. and the breakfast buffet was also briliant. Overall a very relaxing and comfortable stay with fantastic staff and would definitely come back."

The Westin Miyako Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Tres belle hôtel personelle à l'écoute très bon petit déjeuner gym très bien équipée"

Satoyu Mukashibanashi Yuzanso Ryokan

10/10 Excellent

"Great food and beautiful location"

Biwako Ryokusuitei

10/10 Excellent

"My family of 3 had a wonderful time and our 8 year old was delighted with the baths, the kid dinner and buffet. Our only complaint was the dinner restaurant happened to have a lot of loudly screaming children which diminished the experience a bit."

Biwako Hotel

8/10 Good

"room fine bathroom a bit dated as is the rest of the hotel. overall good location right on lake all rooms have view of lake pool is free for resident but very over clorinated which gave us all bad rashes. so only used once which was a sham as reason we stayed there. station close and hotel has shuttle bus to station 3 times an hour which was good over all hotel ok probably not to my taste but very popular with locals we were only english there and a good place to stay away from hustle and bustle of kyoto but easy access as only two stops on train. stayed there 20 years ago and it hadn’t changed since then"
