Top Sagano Hotel Reviews

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

8/10 Good

"Very convenient Location and access to underpass."

Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA

10/10 Excellent

"All the amenities, lobby, and room were very clean, spacious, and well-maintained! The luggage lockers were especially helpful. Two tips: (1) make sure you rinse off in one of the showers near the public bath before entering (this isn't listed on the list of "rules" but it is, indeed, one). (2) Be prepared to wait awhile for the laundry machines to open up; they were full for a while when we were there. Also you'll probably have to run the drying cycle 1.5 times to get your load fully dry."

THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"Nice Hotel, Clean, Comfortable, Great Staff, friendly and very respectful, the restaurant staff, accommodate me at any hours at night even when was time to finish service. very touching.
