I would stay there again and recommend it as great option. The public onsen was a nice experience. We also reserved the private onsen and it was an excellent experience. "

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"My favorite hotel in Japan! It was absolutely perfect in every way. Clean, beautifully decorated, helpful staff, easy check in, super quiet, comfortable beds, room size was large and felt more like a small apartment with a sitting area and dividing doors. Location is near so many popular spots Gion, Nishiki Market, Pontocho Alley, lots of shops and restaurants, the river and close to subway stations. I did not want to leave. Highly recommend! "

Smile Hotel Kyoto-shijo

8/10 Good

"Everything is dated and peeling apart but overall clean and comfortable. Some of the staff are fluent in English which is nice for more complex inquiries while some depend on translation tools but I appreciated their effort. The laundry dryer is typical for the region, it takes many cycles to dry and your clothes smell like a wet dog after "

Hotel Monterey Kyoto

8/10 Good

"The hotel is a comfortable distance away from various sites and quite close to the subway station, making it easy to go to places. The breakfast buffet was good and had different options. The room was clean and colorful, although a bit cramped with the third bed that was moved into the room to accommodate our family (I did stub my toe haha), but we did not expect the room to be any bigger. The staff were respectful. Overall, a very good hotel! "

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

8/10 Good

"Air conditioning was great the staff efficient but there was a language issue since I do not speak much Japanese. Hotel is close to market great shopping also close to gf restaurants. Near a bus stop. Also Short walking distance to larger shoppers stores. The only drawback is the for two people the room was crowded and it took a while to charge electronics."
