Top Philosopher's Path Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Only stayed one night, but the staff was helpful. Let me store my bags before check in and they were brought up to my room. Rooftop bar was a pretty place to relax, and comfortable beds."

Hotel Resol Trinity Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely amazing 10/10 stay. If I come back to Kyoto I am coming here. the room was immaculate, great size for Japan. there were loads of amenities, even a public bath house which I didn’t know before booking. The location is great, with good proximity to train stations. there was also a free maiko show and photo opportunity. Finally the staff were incredibly helpful and kind and spoke amazing english."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay here! The check in was easy and the staff spoke English and walked you through the whole thing, which was extremely helpful. They also have buttons you push each day to let them know if you need your toiletries and towels replaced, your room cleaned, or nothing. The laundry was also extremely convenient (free washers and coin dryers for 100 yen). The bed is very hard, which is typical for Japan, but messed our backs up since we aren’t used to it. The pillows are also the hardest and flattest pillows I’ve ever had, but we were able to ask for softer ones that were a lot better at the front desk. The room was very spacious (Queen) by Japan standards. Location was great, a 10 minute walk to Kyoto station and lots of food nearby. The buffet breakfast was great and the line system was smooth. The onsen was also nice, though I really wish the womens had a cold bath like the men’s to cool off in between baths. Overall a great experience and would stay here again!"

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay at Hotel Solaria. The hotel was clean, modern, and conveniently located near public transportation, shops, and restaurants. The staff were friendly, professional, and always helpful. My room was comfortable, quiet, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The check-in process was smooth, and the overall service exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Hotel Solaria to anyone visiting Japan and would happily stay here again."

Kyoto Brighton Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had a lovely stay at the Kyoto Brighton Hotel. Located north of the main city center, it offers a wonderful, quieter escape, though you should expect to take a taxi to get to the main train station and most major sightseeing hubs. For us, the location's unique perks far outweighed the distance: Historic Walkability: Nijo Castle (Kyoto Castle) is well within walking distance and made for a fantastic, highly enjoyable excursion. Local Neighborhood Vibe: We absolutely loved walking around the immediate neighborhood. It feels authentic and local, yet remains incredibly convenient. Within a short walk, we found a great grocery store, several 7-Eleven locations, and a very handy coin-operated laundry. The Best Part: The hotel is an easy, beautiful walk to the expansive Kyoto Imperial Palace park grounds. One minor downside to note: Be careful with your physical room keys! The hotel will charge you a fee if you lose them or if you want to keep one as a souvenir. Overall, if you don't mind relying on taxis to venture further out, the Brighton offers a peaceful, authentic, and highly comfortable base for exploring Kyoto."
