"Rooms were clean and Excellent"

Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Está bien ubicado, y relativamente cerca del transporte público. Las instalaciones impecables y es un plus que tengan autoservicio de lavandería."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"The room was a good size for Japan. We really liked the washroom set up..the fact that the toilet was in a separate room and there was a Japanese style washing area. It was great to have a sliding door to separate the two spaces. Storage was ample. The location was great for shopping and the hotel was quiet. We liked the lounge area in the other part with free coffee and soft drinks. The washing machines were greatly appreciated. Although they had check in machines there was always staff at the front desk to help with inquiries. Would definitely stay here again. Good value!! I’m"

"The room was small but neat. Amenities downstairs were good. Staff was courteous."

Ryokan Yamazaki

10/10 Excellent

"My son and I really enjoyed our stay at Ryokan Yamazaki, the staff were incredibly kind and helpful from checking us in, to making sure we ate and helping to order us cabs. We loved staying at a traditional style Japanese home, and the location was up in the north west area of Kyoto away from the crowds and tourists which we appreciated, and the beauty of the mountains and neighborhoods. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience a traditional Japanese stay."
