Top Kinkaku-ji Temple Hotel Reviews

Kyoto Brighton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were only in Kyoto for two nights, but found the Brighton to be centrally located to the areas we wanted to explore. Cabs were always available for hire at the from entrance. Rooms were large and clean, with amenities such as pajamas and toiletries included. Large soaking tub made for a relaxing end to a long day of walking. Mineral salts for bath were provided, which were a nice touch. You cant beat the price for this level of luxury. We did not take advantage of any of the restaurants in the hotel, but they do have a breakfast buffet available for a cost. Overall, would definitely return to this property."

The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the huge king size bed. It was two doubles put together. The shower was amazing! We booked 4 different hotel stays in Japan on this trip and this is hands down the best and the lowest cost! It’s right across from the train station and easy to get to different places in Kyoto. If you plan to use the gym, the stationary bikes are very uncomfortable to sit on. The free drinks station in the lobby is a nice bonus!"

Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful stay. Great location!"

Hotel Monterey Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel spacious very close of many points of interest"

Agora Place Kyoto Nijo

8/10 Good

"The Agora place is a no frills but relaxed hotel. There are amenities on the ground floor that are all you need. The room was a reasonable size and very clean. The staff were helpful and friendly. There is a large supermarket very close. The hotel is close to the Nijo castle and Imperial palace and an easy walk to bus stops and metro station with direct access to Kyoto station. My room was quiet but the hotel is situated on a busy noisy road."

La'gent Hotel Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel at a great location."

Ben's Guesthouse Kyoto

8/10 Good

"It was overall a really good place to stay, there's a washing machine and the only way to dry clothes is with some dryer integrated into the shower, it takes a while, other than that it was great."

Kyoto Garden Palace

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and was kept up every day during our stay. The location was convenient for the subway and bus."

Urban Hotel Kyoto Nijo Premium

10/10 Excellent

"80代母と50代娘二人で泊まりました。部屋はとても綺麗でした。ベッドマットも硬めでいい感じでした。朝ごはんビュッフェがどれも美味しい！さらに、スタッフの方々が細かに目を配り、お声かけしてくださったので、何も困ることなく、大満足でした。おかげさまで良い旅行になりました。ありがとうございました。"
