"Toyoko Hotels are usually great.

This particular hotel has a really convenient location that's a short walk from several train stations and from a couple of very charming and pleasant shopping arcades.

Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice"

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier. The room was very comfortable and beautiful, and the view over the river was absolutely awesome. Kyoto is definitely a wonderful city, and staying here made our visit even more enjoyable. The staff at the front desk were also very welcoming, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. The location is excellent for exploring Kyoto, and overall we had a great experience. We would definitely stay here again!"

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Location location location. This is my second time here. Loved it!!!"

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"Good location. Excellent breakfast buffet."

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."

THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

8/10 Good

"Really enjoyed our stay. The hotel staff were excellent and the hotel shuttle was especially beneficial. The only recommendation I would offer is to have coffee mugs and ice and water dispensers in the rooms or at least on each floor."

Smile Hotel Otsu Seta

"部屋が綺麗で良いホテルでした"
