Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"this hotel requires to take off shoes before entering the lobby and put them into a locker. The room is very clean. The hand-washed toilet is an excellent energy saving design. the buffet breakfast is 3000 JPY per person. The buffet breakfast offers a wide variety of options, including raw and cooked fish., meats, soup, salad, fruits, coffee, tea… i really like the hot spring there. it’s comfortable and convenient. The hotel staff are very friendly. I would stay at this hotel again next time I go."

Kyoto Universal Hotel Karasuma

6/10 Okay

"Pros: Rooms were clean, daily breakfast and dinner is good, lawson’s is right beside the hotel, many restaurants nearby, staff were very sweet and helpful, Kyoto Station isn’t too far, public bath, and it’s a quieter neighborhood. Cons: Check out is 10am but Check in is at 4pm, hotel is older with many rooms but the map isn’t clean so it’s hard finding your room at first, coin laundry machines but they were pretty dirty with dirt stuck on the sides like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while, the dryer didn’t even dry my clothes(2 pants) so it felt like a waste of money, not many amenities. Some things to keep in mind: In case you want to do early check in, they charge more before 1pm and after 1pm they charge 30% of current room prices, same with late check out. You have to book dinner beforehand."

Hotel Monterey Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"We truly had an amazing 4 night stay, staff super helpful, was easy to forward luggage from previous hotel and then forward onto Osaka through the hotel. Price to send two large bags to Osaka was 7000 jyp onsen was brilliant very easy to use. Every day from 3-5pm free beer at the spa linger which has an amazing view over city. Breakfast was the best I have had as buffet breakfast anywhere loads to choose from and all freshly cooked. Beds comfortable, toilets amazing and shower was very powerful. Free water every day, few pjammas and slippers. Honestly perfect for our staff 300m from subway station station from Kyoto. If you stay other places buses don’t allow you to bring large bags so worked perfectly. 15 min walk to to Nishiki Market and very easy to get around."
