Top Yamashina Ward Hotel Reviews

Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"great staff clean room"

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel's traditional décor is truly impressive. There are various hot spring options to enjoy. The massage chairs are well worth the wait, and the complimentary drinks, ice cream, and ramen are all of good quality. The breakfast offers excellent value for money, and the rooms are spacious, clean, and well maintained."

Hotel Emion Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Industrial area and limited sights in the area. The train museum is a mist see with kids. The rooms are large for Japanese standards and clean. Shower and tub room is generous sized. Our view was of the rear industrial area. The onset was nice touch. Separated by sexes. The breakfast buffet was pricey but we did try it for only 1 meal so kids can try traditional Japanese breakfast foods. They also had western offerings as well. It was nice to get some fresh veg and fruits as it is pricey at restaurants. The base of the hotel has a few premium priced restaurants and we did hit the 7-11 just outside the hotel for supplies"

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in several hotels throughout our two week Japan trip, and this hotel (and Kyoto in general) was by far our favorite. It is spotlessly clean and classy. The lofi-jazz playing in the hotel as well as the rooftop lounge was a nice touch. The breakfast every morning was wonderful, and the staff were friendly and helpful. This hotel is walking distance to most of the Gion sites such as Yasaka Pagoda, Kiyomizu-dera Temple and a short taxi or subway ride from Yasaka Temple, Nishiki Market, Fushimi Inari (amazing) and so many other things to do. I would stay again at this hotel in a heartbeat! We’ll be back the next time we’re in Kyoto."

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel opposite Kyoto Station so very handy. Room was spacious which is unusual in Japan. Had a laundry room which was only ¥600 to use although we had to hang up clothes in room as it didn't dry them completely. Loads of good restaurants nearby in station (who would have thought) as well as combinis. Several shopping malls close by as well. Overall a good hotel and one I'd stay at again."
