"This hotel is in a great location just down the street from Jujo Station. It was very clean and quiet and the staff were very helpful whenever I needed them. It's a great place to stay especially if you are going to visit Fushimi Inari, since the hotel is only about a 15 minute walk from the main gate, so you can leave in the middle of the night or early morning to beat the crowds without having to take any buses or trains. It's located right by a river which is also nice for night walks,...

Top Tale of Genji Museum Hotel Reviews

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

8/10 Good

"Carpeting needs replacing. Towel racks in bathroom would be nice. Mattresses need up grading. No electricity once room card removed."

Hotel Anteroom Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Amazingly spacious rooms and lovely area"

Sakura Terrace

10/10 Excellent

"Balcony to the room is an added bonus. The reception lounge is delightful to relax. It also has massage chairs and books! Loved it!"

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is super cute and in a great area and close to a lot! We loved the roof top bar and the bakery was amazing as well! Rooms and hotel super cute and very clean. Staff were all amazing and so welcoming!"

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"Pros: - The rooms were spacious compared to most Japanese hotel rooms. It was nice to have a more traditional tatami style room. - The breakfast buffet had an incredible selection to choose from. There’s a bit of a wait depending on when you go, but it goes rather quickly. - Late night unlimited ramen from 9pm-11pm was also a nice touch. We loved being able to eat a light meal after a long day of exploring. - Onsen access is really nice, with massage chairs available for use. And unlimited ice cream every night was also really delicious. Cons: - Having guests take off their shoes at the lobby makes the place smell like feet. It’s pretty gross since it was raining when we were there so it was a mix of wet socks and feet stench. They should at least require that people wear hotel rooms slippers. - The onsen was really dirty from the amount of people that would use the facilities. It was overcrowded and packed during the night time. Overall, I’d stay at this hotel again, but refrain from using public facilities. It’s almost impossible to keep the public areas clean and free of smells since there are so many guests."

KANSEI Kyoto Hachijo

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel room is spacious , clean and well maintained. It is close enough you the Kyoto station. I enjoyed my stay there"

Daiwa Roynet Hotel Kyoto Hachijoguchi

8/10 Good

"We loved the location of this hotel. Just south of Kyoto Station, which let us explore the region at ease. There were tons of restaurants nearby (close to the hotel, and near the Station). The room was actually quite spacious! (Especially compared the the hotel we had in Tokyo.) The two twin beds, while individually quite small, could be pushed together and make enough room for a family of 4 (two adults, two children under age 7). Amenities were nice (available in the lobby, some available for rent for free). As well, staff were all kind and helpful, particularly the breakfast staff. We were pleased with this hotel! Only a couple of cons. We paid to have breakfast included and while we really liked it the first day, after a 6 night stay it started to get old as none of the food was changed, but we have come to expect this after our trip to Japan. Consider trying the breakfast for a few days but don't depend on it for a long trip. The staff at breakfast was wonderful, however! My biggest complaint is the room did not offer a nice view (facing south, lower floor) but the opposite side seemed to have a glimpse of a nice view featuring buildings, temples an greenery/mountains in the background. We should have asked for a better view but were staying with friends in a nearby room. And finally, the hotel did have more of a corporate/business feel and we would probably want to stay somewhere with more personality and more 'traditional' if staying in Kyoto in the future."

Randor Residential Hotel Kyoto Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Our travel plans changed suddenly and were in a need of a last minute stay. Great location at a great price."

Ariston Hotel Kyoto Jujo

8/10 Good

"Great hotel, but a bit far from Kyoto station area. Close to Fushimi Inari Taisha shrine which was a plus. Carpeting in the room could be better maintained and breakfast selection compared to many other hotels is lacking. Overall a good budget hotel option."
