Top Kenninji Temple Hotel Reviews

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast could have been more varied. On one occasion, people had to ask for bread to be brought out, as there wasn't enough."

Rihga Gran Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect hotel in a great location a block and a half away from the East Gate at Kyoto Station. Beautiful interior decor and rooms were clean and functional. Beds incredibly comfortable and bathroom, separate toilet and bathing room were spacious. For those who care, 3 Konbinis (convenience stores) within a block and numerous dining options. CoCo Curry literally across street for quick bite. Staff incredibly professional and accommodating. Easy to get to mass transit and catch a cab. Will stay here again if visiting Kyoto again. Laundry machines a bonus, able to easily take care of a tedious chore."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Kawaramachi Jokyoji

10/10 Excellent

"This was a beautiful hotel in a great central location Great amenities and service from the staff. Comfortable room and a wonderful breakfast spot almost across the street for lattes etc... Lots of shopping nearby and close to train and some tourist sites and areas. Would highly recommend."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Out of the six hotels I stayed at during my trip to Japan, this was by far the best. From the moment we arrived, the customer service was exceptional. The hotel was spotless, beautifully maintained, and offered a truly authentic Japanese experience with its traditional tatami rooms and the custom of removing your shoes at the entrance. The food was outstanding, and every staff member went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The location couldn’t have been better, just minutes from Kyoto Station, shopping, restaurants, and many of Kyoto’s famous temples and attractions. This was the perfect hotel for our stay in Kyoto. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic, comfortable, and welcoming Japanese hotel. Excellent in every way!"

Kyoto Granbell Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The property is located on a short (5min)walking distance to the train. Close to the center of Shinjuku but away from the crowded area. The area around the hotel is very clean. safe and quiet. There is a great friend bakery right next to the hotel. The hotel property is very clean and modern. The staff was extremely accommodating. The customer service was another level. We had to go to Kyoto for a couple of days and come back. They kept our luggage and when we checked back in, it was already waiting for us in the room. The hotel has 2 excellent restaurants that serve breakfast lunch and dinner. The rooms were a little small but very comfortable and clean. The bathroom were like spa with so many amenities. I highly recommend this hotel for all types of travelers."
