Top Kyoto University Hotel Reviews

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice and convenient place to stay in central Kyoto. Easy to travel, great room. The staff is outstanding. I left a package in a taxi, and one of the reception desk workers called the restaurant to identify the company, called the company to have them find the driver, and worked with them to get the package back within about ten minutes. Five star service!!!"

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"We had a memorable stay at this hotel. The onsen featured multiple baths such that it never felt crowded even at peak times, and we found the perks like free yakisoba noodles (read: instant noodles), ice cream bars, Yakult yogurt drinks, and self serve coffee options (including matcha lattes, etc which is rare) to be fun and value added. Our triple room had a lot of space and privacy; although ours was sadly on the louder side (mainly from emergency vehicles and motorcycles)as it was on the second floor right above the main entrance. The hotel requests guests to remove and store their shoes at the main entrance which I felt was an interesting and thoughtful concept, but I felt slightly grossed out by seeing a number of guests wander around in bare feet despite being provided socks to wear. Some minor downsides: We went in late May and the hotel was fully occupied, so we found the 4 or 5 massage chairs almost always occupied and the laundry machines being in high demand (compounded by other guests not removing their clothes when done), and a cramped vibe in the common spaces (other than the onsen as mentioned earlier). The hotel is also a bit farther away (5 min extra walking time) from Kyoto Station than some alternatives but I would still consider it to be convenient."

Kyoto Brighton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very lovely and all the staff were welcoming and courteous. I was able to obtain a room upgrade upon my arrival without any issues. My room was very clean, spacious, and comfortable. The breakfast buffet had a nice selection of items that accommodated western visitors. My favorite was the french toast. The location is situated in a quiet area of Kyoto in the Kamiygo Ward and about a 11-14 minute walk to the subway station but the hotel offers daily shuttle service to a main station for convenience. On some days where I had long days of walking I preferred to take the local taxis which can drive you to popular places nearby like Gion and Nishiki Market. There is also a 7Eleven around the corner if you need to withdraw money from an ATM. Just be aware that the luggage delivery service the hotel partners with (Sagawa Express) does not offer luggage transport to the airport so if Kyoto is your last destination in Japan before you depart for the airport you will need to consider other options. Other than that I would highly recommend the Kyoto Brighton."
