The tranquility and quality of the environment, the accommodations, and the food were exceptional. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made us feel very welcome.

It was nice to have the communal food area to grab coffee in the morning and a light meal. Be aware that the room entrance for the room is right next to the lobby.

Top Shimogamo Shrine Hotel Reviews

Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Amazing location- can walk to nearly all central attractions and close to transit. On a quieter street which is great. Kind staff. Breakfast leaves a lot to be desired- not worth the cost"

Hotel Okura Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional attention to detail. Classic Japanese luxury—hotel was definitely a throwback but did not feel old and outdated."

Hearton Hotel Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Clean room, towels were a bit thin! But the 5 night stay was good! Breakfast variety was great though super busy with tour groups!"

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

"Très bon emplacement, et très bon rapport qualité prix"

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"This property was walking distance to a bunch of markets such as Nishiki, Termachi, etc. There are lots to do around the area and very close to Kamo river with restaurants. I got sick when I got to Kyoto so the staff gave me English speaking medical clinics around the area. The property is nice and has laundry downstairs but there is a long wait time as everyone is trying to wash/dry their clothes. The breakfast is decent even though it is a bit pricey for Japan I would say. But there are variety of food. We also upgraded our room upon check in to have more space and they were able to accommodate pretty quickly."

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"La habitación muy cómoda y limpia. Está súper céntrico, caminando al centro y varios highlights de la ciudad. Amable el personal. Lo recomiendo para viaje familiar. El desayuno básico."

Kyoto Garden Palace

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at the Kyoto Garden Inn. It was a little bit out of the way for seeing all the different attractions in Kyoto. The room was clean and the staff was friendly. We would recommend this hotel to all our friends."

Kyoto Brighton Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are EXCELLENT ! The hotel is far from everything and although you have shuttle service, you have to deal with the subway... or a taxi. Staff is very nice but unfortunately they don't speak English well enough to understand you... this problem is not only at this hotel, is everywhere!!"

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Kyoto Oike

10/10 Excellent

"I was recently in Kyoto for a solo trip and this was the perfect place to stay! Great location, easily accessible by walking, bus, and train. The rooms are small but they work well for solo travel at the price point! I would highly recommend"
