Tranquil surroundings with a 5 star multi-course meals each day for breakfast and dinner. The sauna and hot baths were great for winding down after a day of touring. Touring was easy because bus lines and train lines are nearby. We were sorry to leave the Tea House and really hope to return some day. "

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"The accommodations are impeccably clean, and the staff is very accommodating. Be sure to try the breakfast—it's a highlight! Unfortunately, I can’t enjoy the onsen because of my tattoos. However, the venue is conveniently located near the train station, and the food is exceptional."

Hilton Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is five stars, huge rooms very modern very elegant. The lobby staff is amazing. The restaurant is amazing. We didn’t upgrade on our room that included a lounge on the ninth floor, which was amazing as well. Plus a buffet downstairs at the lobby. Overall, this is beyond a five star hotel, plus it has an amazing location close to everything. We really enjoyed our stay definitely coming back."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

Ryokan Sawaya Honten

10/10 Excellent

"Had such a pleasant stay that I returned for a second time! Very clean, traditional style ryokan, with very helpful staff. I appreciate that they spoke English, provide laundry machines, and helped in calling us a taxi to the station during checkout. If you're interested in breakfast, specify it in your booking. If not, you may be able to schedule in breakfast subject to availability. Be mindful and respectful by keeping voices low; it is a peaceful and quiet space. Great location close to bus stops and convenience stores."
