Top Ryoan-ji Temple Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"This was our favorite hotel of the trip! Great breakfast, amenities, laundry on site, massage chairs for free, the onsen. Amazing! Great location to everything we wanted to do and for transit. If I had to say one bad thing it’s that the pillows needed to be updated. They were hard and small. Otherwise, I would 1000% recommend this Place to anyone visiting Kyoto."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel in a great location with amazing staff. Overall, it was a superb stay and the onsen is wonderful after a long day of touring My favorite hotel so far in Japan. Don’t hesitate book it"

The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel condition, location, and staff"

Agora Place Kyoto Nijo

8/10 Good

"Clean, modern hotel with helpful staff. Was really close to a bus stop so it was easy to get around. Would stay here again."

Ryokan Yamazaki

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very helpful. The place is closer to the woods, but still in a residential area. It was a pleasant experience."

RESI STAY Nishijin

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at Resi Nishijin in Kyoto with my family of 4 and the room was big and well equipped. Clean and beds were comfortable. The washing machine was handy and the space was appreciated. The area whilst quiet is connected well with buses. There is a bus stop right outside. It is about 25mins walk to the golden pavilion. It is a 20-25min bus ride back to Kyoto Station and about 3600 Yen via taxi to the Station as Buses don’t allow big luggages on board - although I saw many foreigners do this during our bus ride. Get an all day bus pass for 1100 yen - good value. Google maps works well to help get you around. If you prefer to be closer to Kyoto station - then this isn’t the place for you but we appreciated the space of the room so it worked for us. Staff at reception were nice and we had a free shuttle to the hotel but had to book a taxi for our ride back to Kyoto station after checkout. Plenty of nice places to eat around the hotel and supermarket across the street. Lifts were available too."
