Top Ginkaku-ji Temple Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"The only thing that could have been better were the bed sizes. We are a family of 4 I am 6'2 242 lbs and my wife and kids are small in size and height 5ft and under and we barely fit in the 2 beds provided. Other than that this hotel is great and is close to everything. From here we were able to reach all train and bus stops to move freely around Kyoto and there is the main post office nearby at Kyoto station. The onsen was amazing and after a long day of walking it truly relaxes you and sets you up nicely for bed. The sauna is set at 200 degrees Fahrenheit and will really get any impurities out of you so if you do get sick get in there quick. All in all a great stay."

"Had such a pleasant stay that I returned for a second time! Very clean, traditional style ryokan, with very helpful staff. I appreciate that they spoke English, provide laundry machines, and helped in calling us a taxi to the station during checkout. If you're interested in breakfast, specify it in your booking. If not, you may be able to schedule in breakfast subject to availability. Be mindful and respectful by keeping voices low; it is a peaceful and quiet space. Great location close to bus stops and convenience stores."

KOKO HOTEL Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel tucked away off the main street so very quiet!!! Staff was wonderful. If you forget any amenity like mouthwash, razor, etc., they had available free in lobby. Breakfast was good with new selection of items every morning. Only issue was the bed mattress was very firm! Certainly not a major issue but worth noting."
