Top Shugakuin Imperial Villa Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Didn't like needing smartphone to use laundry. Likely because I'm 73 years old ;) Otherwise, Nohga is my go-to if visiting Kyoto."

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location. 3 min walk from the shopping streets and the dining streets. The vegan options for breakfast deserve an improvement."

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel close to all transportation to attractions . Great breakfast, too."

The Westin Miyako Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Our issue was very specific and might not affect most. There were limited gluten free options in the restaurants for lunch and dinner. Although you can convince a chef in other places to grill fish or steak easily, it was not an option here, at least in the common restaurant. Breakfast was better. They had gluten free bread and many options. Also, all restaurants (there are two other special ones) close rather early. But other than these (which might not be a big issue for most) a really good hotel. Fantastic staff."

moksa Rebirth Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely adored my stay here only wish it was longer. Nicely remote because I find the tourists in Kyoto quite overwhelming and the sauna was lovely. Breakfast was also amazing and they accommodated my allergies without stress."
