Top Philosopher's Path Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Rooms were amazing. They were as modern and amazing as the pictures! The bed was super comfortable. Laundry on-site was easy to use and access was pretty available. The cafe was also pretty convenient to have. But skip the restaurant! The food was bad and extremely salty. During my stay, some room near me was smoking in their room as the smoke smell filled the hallways. I reported this to the front desk but they were not able to find this person and put a stop to this immediately. This also happened the next night. We all received letters informing us about this incident but I was disappointed that the hotel was not able to take an effective action to address the smoking in a non-smoking room and area. Luckily, I don’t think the smell entered my room, but it’s disappointing to see this happen and nothing was done in the moment."

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, great location. Staff were friendly. Nice and quiet at night. Overall great value for money and a great stay. It was super helpful that we could forward our luggage a day before we arrived."

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel close to all transportation to attractions . Great breakfast, too."

The Westin Miyako Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Our issue was very specific and might not affect most. There were limited gluten free options in the restaurants for lunch and dinner. Although you can convince a chef in other places to grill fish or steak easily, it was not an option here, at least in the common restaurant. Breakfast was better. They had gluten free bread and many options. Also, all restaurants (there are two other special ones) close rather early. But other than these (which might not be a big issue for most) a really good hotel. Fantastic staff."
