It’s our favourite hotel in Kyoto. It’s full of character and the staff are amazing. We love period hotels and this one just ticks all the boxes for us. The food is top notch too.
Rooms were great. Older build but very good quality. Well maintained and very clean. Great service and staff. Location right in the center is fabulous. Will definitely stay again
Loved this hotel, could not be happier with the service, location, size of the rooms, food, room service, staff were friendly and helpful in every way possible!! Gorgeous hotel and I would return again :)
This is an amazing hotel with exceptional service. The room was immaculate, cleaned every day, the bathroom was spacious and comfortable. You must take advantage of this opportunity to stay here. We’ll be back next year!
Clean room, great service, hotel located at the quiet street , but just need a few minutes walk to all shops and restaurants, definitely will stay again if I visit Kyoto next time. Great location , great hotel
The Nikko Princess was convenient to subway and bus routes. We had no problem getting to all the sights we wanted to see. There were a few meal options around which was a plus. The rooms were very clean and the staff incredibly helpful.
