Top Kinkaku-ji Temple Hotel Reviews

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"The staffs were so helpful with storing our luggages before our checkin time. Its location is very central with stores and restaurants within walking distance."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"The hotel was nice, a little crowded at times with a lot of groups coming in at once, and a lot of suitcases in the reception area. A different concept from western people, shoes off of the premises at all times, the hot springs was definitely something extra to do, breakfast buffet had a lot of options specially for asian people, wish it had more variety from continental. Hotel offers laundry room, and free ice cream bars, and soup from 9pm to 11pm. Overall we had a good time."

The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel with top facilities, excellent staff and immediately opposite Nijo station - which has a fast connection to Arashiyama, excellent bus links and walkable to Nijo castle itself. Good quality Tea/coffee available for free near reception, restaurant on site if required. Public bath and gym were very very much appreciated. We even used the laundry machines, but check availability on your room tv first. We loved our stay at the hotel."
