10/10 Excellent

"Excellent choice, very useful Centeral location"

Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Good location, quiet area but walking distance to a food market and shopping. Great local restaurants nearby. One washer and dryer machine that was busy. No gym."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was awesome! Friendly and helpful staff. The onsen was a nice experience. The room was large for a Japan hotel. The only room for improvement feedback I have is to have them have more washer and dryer machines. I had to wait 50 minutes just to get a washer. The dryer setting on the first cycle doesn’t dry clothes so two other people in front of me had to do another dry cycle. I also had to do an extra dry cycle. It was a little ridiculous having to wait so long to do some laundry. I think there could be a better system or more machines for guests. The location was perfect! Right next to a train and subway station which made it super easy to get around to all of our destinations. There is also tons of shopping and wonderful restaurants in walking distance. Overall, this was our favorite place that we stayed at on our trip. It was very nice!!"

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Kabuki room decor is awesome! Location is very convenient. The facial amenities already provided in room were very much appreciated. Although laundry machines are available, I would discourage use of dryer due to its limited (1/2 load) capacity. Overall, our stay was excellent!"
