"Toyoko Hotels are usually great. They are clean, convenient, and affordable, and they tend to have lots of useful amenities or people who might have forgotten to bring something like a toothbrush or razor. 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.

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Delightful property. Room was a good size with an excellent shower. Beds were comfy and room was quiet. Bakery on the main floor made all sorts of delectable delights. We had fried egg sandwiches on fresh baguettes on the first and last mornings. Rooftop bar was also a nice place to spend time and have a couple of beverages and very delicious vegan tacos made with falafel croquettes. It's far enough away from the train station that I would recommend a taxi (about 1600 yen on a weeknight arrival, but return trip was about 2000 on a saturday morning - don't know why there was a difference, but not unreasonable either way). Otherwise, the location is good for exploring all the wonders of Kyoto. Great place to spend some time."

"Excellent hosting, clean, staff are extremely helpful and friendly."

Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel

"Great stay Love this hotel"

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was awesome! Friendly and helpful staff. The onsen was a nice experience. The room was large for a Japan hotel. The only room for improvement feedback I have is to have them have more washer and dryer machines. I had to wait 50 minutes just to get a washer. The dryer setting on the first cycle doesn’t dry clothes so two other people in front of me had to do another dry cycle. I also had to do an extra dry cycle. It was a little ridiculous having to wait so long to do some laundry. I think there could be a better system or more machines for guests. The location was perfect! Right next to a train and subway station which made it super easy to get around to all of our destinations. There is also tons of shopping and wonderful restaurants in walking distance. Overall, this was our favorite place that we stayed at on our trip. It was very nice!!"

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Kabuki room decor is awesome! Location is very convenient. The facial amenities already provided in room were very much appreciated. Although laundry machines are available, I would discourage use of dryer due to its limited (1/2 load) capacity. Overall, our stay was excellent!"

Biwako Hotel

8/10 Good

"room fine bathroom a bit dated as is the rest of the hotel. overall good location right on lake all rooms have view of lake pool is free for resident but very over clorinated which gave us all bad rashes. so only used once which was a sham as reason we stayed there. station close and hotel has shuttle bus to station 3 times an hour which was good over all hotel ok probably not to my taste but very popular with locals we were only english there and a good place to stay away from hustle and bustle of kyoto but easy access as only two stops on train. stayed there 20 years ago and it hadn’t changed since then"
