Top Nishikyo Ward Hotel Reviews

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

10/10 Excellent

"It has a big size of a room and clean. The check in is quick and easy. The staff is very helpful and can communicate with English very well."

Hotel Intergate Osaka Umeda

6/10 Okay

"In terms of location it’s great! Friendly staff and easy to get to. Although I have a few negative comments, one being the breakfast is absolutely horrible. Not much options & no milk alternatives! I did not eat breakfast there although I paid for it. Secondly, the lifts are impossible to get. I don’t understand why have not separated the lifts based on floors. It gets so busy and takes forever to get up/down. Lastly, the room size in Japan is known to be small and that’s fine! However the layout is very bad, you don’t have enough space to move around. I also felt the bathroom was very much like. 2-3 star hotel and standards were very low. Although, it’s in a nice area, I would recommend another hotel in the area instead"

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. The hotel was well situated to metro stations and shopping and there were abundant restaurants and cafes within walking distance. My only concern is with the bathroom shower curtain; it smelled moldy and should nee see washed or replaced."

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The location is just absurdly good. I didn’t appreciate fully how nice it is to be in the heart of Gion until we got there. It’s a stone’s throw from a Lawson’s, walking along the river, the coffee cafe M Stand (this is absolutely the best kept secret - you want incredible views and top tier flat whites? Go to M Stand and thank me later)… close to transit… Aircon in the room worked great and was somehow silent… and the four beds worked out well for our family. Front desk was so helpful - recommend if you do the Kurama/Kibune hike that you get their help booking a Kawadoko lunch/dinner."

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff and service. Has laundry facilities and buffet breakfast hotel restaurant. Located in Umeda with excellent subway lines to all major attractions. Lots to do in the area as well. Easy to find as linked to Yodobashi-Camera building. Would’ve liked cotton swabs and pads as part of the amenities."
