Reviews for Kyoto Hotels

L‘Hotel de Hiei
4.9/54 Reviews
Quietly standing in the arms of Bilao Mountain, the Yamano Food Inn has a Kyoto Station pick-up service (about 30 minutes drive) on arrival. The hotel is only 10 minutes drive from Yankee Temple. At 6 o'clock in the morning, the hotel organized a ceremony to the Buddha at Yankee Temple, and there was a shuttle bus to the temple at 9:15. The hotel serves breakfast and dinner. The menu is customized according to seasonal seasons. It is very exquisite. It integrates the food culture of Wuhu and Jinjiang with the French style. You can also taste Shiga local wine. The most intimate service on the departure day is to transport luggage to Kyoto Station for free, so that visitors can easily visit Bibu Mountain and Wuhu.
Heian No Mori Kyoto
3.8/533 Reviews
Visited in September 2017. It is next to Okazaki Jinja shrine on the north side of Heian Jingu shrine. If the vicinity of Okazaki kaguroya is for travel purposes, it is just right, the bus stop is close, there are supermarkets and convenience stores, and it is convenient. However, if you try to go to other areas, you can use the bus to some extent, or if you are not a car user, you will be very difficult to move. The hotel itself is quite old, but the room is renewed little by little and the interior is brand new. It seemed to be a little chighug renovation, but it is not bad. It is good to feel both nostalgia and newness. The old-fashioned tourist hotel is comfortable with a relaxed construction, complete public bath. There are several direct shuttle buses to Kyoto Station, so you can use it if you schedule it.
Heihachi Tea House Inn
4.7/53 Reviews
Sometimes simplicity and authenticity are the greatest of luxury. That's what the Heihachi Jaya reminds us when we're put on the foot. Located in the north periphery of the city the hotel is on the edge of a river and faces the mountain. The rooms are large and clean, here we sleep on a wooden bed and this is the best night we have spent during our stay in Japan. The kiki kitchen was very good and refined. The succession of the dishes in a well-defined order gives every dishes value. This is an experience to live. The traditional breakfast can surprise unusual people, but it was a very good time to live. The staff is very professional and adventive. However, you must be aware that coming into this kind of traditional establishment is a common bathroom! It can take a lot of it, but you need to pass beyond its apriorites and fears and live experience would only be to enjoy the honnest (which we have so appreciated). You'll have understood this when you read my opinion, here we are not talking about spending one or more nights in a lamb place, but rather living a cultural experience
Kitashirakawa Natural Radium Onsen
4.8/56 Reviews
The best hotel I have even seen🥹 100% sure I will visit again. For location, it is a little bit far from the city but you can request them to drive you to the place you want anytime. It is never a problem for location and help saving travel time and cost!! The room is wonderful, it is very large and you can get everyting you need at room. There are private onsen in all rooms. The best thing for this hotel is the food!!! All things are delisous. As there are 4 rooms only in hotel, you can enjoy your meal quietly and slowly in restaurant, never bother by others. I am so surprised that I pay little for this outstanding service, room and food quality. Everyone should check this out:)
Japanese Ryokan Seryo
4.7/534 Reviews
Seryo is an excellent ryokan that exceeded our expectations. It's situated in Ohara town, located about an hour north of Kyoto, which is an agricultural area known for its fine Kyoto vegetables, its rural beauty, as well as the renowned Sanzen-in and Jakko-in temples (as well as the picturesque Kurama & Kibune towns nearby.) We stayed 2 nights at Seryo.... our main purpose for being in the area was to do the hike from Kurama to Kibune (highly recommended!) While Seryo is not a stone's throw from Kurama or Kibune, it's not far, either - about 15 minutes by car. And, it's right next to Sanzen-in, and overlooks a beautiful valley and the mountains beyond, so the location is actually a plus in many respects. While it's a small, family-run establishment, it also charges luxury ryokan prices. In just about all respects, it delivers a level of comfort, luxury and service that matches the price. First, the room - we stayed at the best room at Seryo, the ”Sakura no Ma Japanese Suite with open-air bath.” I believe it to be the only room on premises that has its own private onsen hot springs bath, and it's pure bliss. if it's available, I'd recommend that you snag it quickly. The room itself was reasonably spacious (although not gargantuan by other luxury ryokan standards, and we would've gladly paid more if they offered an even higher category room), well appointed and came with all of the necessities - toiletries, yukata, free WiFi and even free minibar. It was a nice room to spend our down time in Ohara. And when we felt like taking a walk, not only was there Sanzen-in next door, but also Jikko-in, Hosen-in and and Shorin-in just a few minutes walking distance away - all worth visiting, and all with its own unique charm. The food was good. Not super gourmet like some of the top ryokans in Hakone or Kaga Onsen town, but they did a good job focusing their offerings relying on local ingredients - Ohara is renowned for its amazing produce, and many of Kyoto's finer restaurants (including Michelin 3-star Kitcho) procure many of their vegetables from Ohara. Of particular note was the local Jidori chicken - it was amazing. It was steamed (which is unusual, and doesn't strike me as the best way to cook chicken), but was done amazingly well. It was definitely a memorable dish. Breakfast, on the other hand, was a comparatively spartan affair - not much variety, and quantities were low. If you're hungry, be prepared to scarf down a healthy portion of rice. Service is typical ryokan-like. Courteous, helpful, and a bit inflexible in some areas, namely in terms of meal times. At Seryo, it's strictly 6PM for dinner and 8AM for breakfast. That said, they did make an exception, which gives us hope for Japan :) When we told them we might leave early and skip breakfast (to get a head start on our hike the next day), they said ”how about 7:30 then?” For a small ryokan with rigid schedules (for understandable reasons, mind you), it was a surprisingly graciou
Ryokan Kanade
4.4/533 Reviews
We stayed overnight for the event at Okazaki Park. It was corresponded to a small number at night, and the front desk tended to be absent, but the response was friendly. Because it was empty, I was able to park the car for free from the morning of the day of the stay to the next day and the evening. The room was clean and had a large TV and was comfortable. However, it was a cold day with rain on the day, so the washroom of the rental open-air bath was cold and rainy, and it trembled. The temperature of the jet bus was hot and hot, so I didn't put it immediately, and it was like a punishment game of the variety program. I would like to receive it again if I have a chance because the dishes seemed good.
