Top Ryoan-ji Temple Hotel Reviews

KOKO HOTEL Residence Kyoto Nijo Castle

10/10 Excellent

"The property was great. Friendly staff, great location and great amenities. I would stay there again."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is in an excellent location for transit, restaurants, and shopping. No need to bring bathing items for the onsen. Consider a street view room as the interior room views are adjacent to another building with limited sunlight."

RESI STAY Nishijin

10/10 Excellent

"The person that checked us in at the check in counter was amazing"

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very well kept and the staff were lovely and very helpful!"

Agora Place Kyoto Nijo

8/10 Good

"Really lovely place to stay. It was a bit out of the way, so getting around took a bit longer. The price made up for that, however."

Kyoto Omuro Kadensho（Kyoritsu Resorts）

10/10 Excellent

"Maybe the nicest hotel we've ever stayed in! The room was nice, but what really made this so special was the amenities: a lounge that serves beer and snacks, shared and private onsen (hot tubs), shuttle to Kyoto station, luggage transport service, free late-night ramen... all for free! The price was so reasonable for all you get. The staff was excellent, super helpful with everything we needed. There's a beautiful temple across the street that you need to check out, and key code across the street for nice breakfast"

La'gent Hotel Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"Busy hotel with many international guests. Really nice clean and modern public bath, but no cold water bath or dry sauna, only a very spacious and peaceful rectangular public bath with nice outdoor window. Breakfast was great. No lattes at breakfast but very good coffee and juices. Hot dishes were very good as were pastries. About 8 min walk to Nijo station so convenient in many ways to the main subway lines in Kyoto. Would be happy to visit again."

Ben's Guesthouse Kyoto

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and bigger than expected Small kitchenette at the entrance Small pot was missing only the big casserole Very nice to have laundry The location is good and quiet but closest bus is 7 min from the property"

Ryokan Yamazaki

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice Ryokan! Slightly removed from the core but there are 2 buses that regularly go into town so its not a huge issue. We stayed in the private room on the lower floor with the private zen garden, highly recommend if its available as it was amazing for late night drinks, and the sounds of night and the river that runs beside the ryokan. A must stay for a traditional experience! One Laundry + dryer on site for a small charge (plus you need to buy a detergent packet from the front desk, 200yen). The Japanese style breakfast was delicious, make sure you let the staff know the day before if youd like to have it, its 1500yen per person and well worth it! Will definitely be staying here again next time."
