"I had the most wonderful stay in Kyoto at this charming hotel. It has the traditional Japanese feel, but doesn’t feel dated; they did a beautiful job with the interiors. Also I needed to send a bag to a residential address in Tokyo and since their partner only delivers to hotels, Julie went above and beyond to help me figure out the best way to do it on my own and she even filled the form in Japanese for me. I will most definitely be staying here again whenever I’m back in Kyoto."

Top Heian Shrine Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Le personnel est bienveillant et accueillant, la chambre est très spacieuse et ultra propre, le petit-déjeuner est incroyable, la station de pains/patisseries impressionnante et le tarif chambre/ déjeuner compris est très abordable. Je recommande fortement!"

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Easy check in, great location, friendly staff"

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was very nice and clean that was clearly renovated recently. The best thing about this hotel was the location as it is in walking distance to many attractions."

Hotel Okura Kyoto Okazaki Bettei

10/10 Excellent

"Very gracious and helpful staff. The rooms were beautiful."

THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel. We loved the footbath."

Ryokan Sawaya Honten

8/10 Good

"I chose this hotel for the ryokan experience, and I was not disappointed. The room was spacious, while the bathroom was small but adequate. They offered a traditional Japanese breakfast, which I enjoyed, although my partner was not used to this type of breakfast. The hotel is located in a local neighborhood and is accessible by city bus and local train. However, traveling with luggage on local trains and buses can be difficult. I recommend using a luggage transfer service to send your bags from one hotel to the next, and taking a taxi from the hotel to the train station. This made traveling much easier and more convenient."

Hilton Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Spacious and clean room. Fantastic location. Highly recommend!"

KOKO HOTEL Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

"Overall, I had a comfortable stay. However, the toilet was a bit of a nuisance. It had a persistent odor that refused to go away. Also, during my stay, the air conditioner started leaking water. The staff promptly fixed the issue and gave me a new room."

Hotel Okura Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Centrally located near restaurants and shops. Staff was friendly and helpful."
