"There were two Japanese well maintained gardens and stone paving hallway outside. They were beautiful and they made us feel very historical culture. The summer season in Kyoto is very uncomfortable to stay outside because of the hight temperature but, in this house, for some reason we could stay comfortably without air conditioner. It was a huge house but all the rooms were cleaned perfectly. Especially we were impressed with the bathroom. The high-tech toilets beautiful wooden bath tub made us...

Top Kuga Shrine Hotel Reviews

The Prince Kyoto Takaragaike, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are very nice and helpful and always serve you with a smile and gratitude"

KOKO HOTEL Residence Kyoto Nijo Castle

8/10 Good

"The hotel had a wonderful apartment-style setup, including a kitchenette that made it easy and convenient to prepare our own breakfast. We especially appreciated having two toilets and separate bedrooms, which worked perfectly for our family since we were traveling with our adult daughter. The location was convenient with 7-11 nearby, food options, with a wonderful small Italian inspired cafe next door- with excellent cappuccino. It was also also within a short walking distance of Nijo Castle and the Anime museum, making it easy to explore the area. The only downside was the sliding door to the main bedroom. It tended to stick and was quite loud when opening or closing. Unfortunately, this sometimes woke us up when we needed to get up to use the bathroom during the night. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and really appreciated the spacious, home-like setup and convenient location."
