Top Saionji Temple Hotel Reviews

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

8/10 Good

"The Hotel is brand new. Stayed with family and the location was excellent!"

Ace Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Amazing room and staff. We used the coffee shop for morning grab n go and once the hotel bar for drinks. Very clean great location"

Agora Place Kyoto Nijo

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and had just enough space for 2 people, maybe not for people with bigger/larger amounts of luggage than 1/person. The hotel was located within walking distance of Nijo Castle and to Kyoto Gyoen National Garden where the Kyoto Imperial Palace is located. The Garden and the Imperial Palace grounds are free to enter, so it was a very pleasant experience regardless of the rain. If you are looking for a quieter, more laid-back area to stay in with food options, I would recommend staying at Agora Nijo."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"Second time in the hotel , even we asked to be upgraded they offered just with extra charge . Breakfast doesn’t have the variety I would expect including lack of western products and vegetables . Service is good in general and location excellent . Room size is not too big for superior double All together price wise is reasonable"
