Top Otani Sobyo Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms so comfortable and clean. I do not want to go out the room anymore but I have to explore Kyoto ☺️ 😆 ❤️. I love it here."

Kyoto Ryokan SAKANOUE

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay"

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at the cross hotel. The room was comfortable and clean. The location of the hotel was excellent for first time travelers to Kyoto. We were able to walk to most places we needed to go. The staff was helpful in guiding us to places we wanted to see and how to get there. Their breakfast buffet was delicious. I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Big and busy hotel in very convenient location near Kyoto station. Didn’t get the chance to use the onsen but it looked pretty popular. Excellent breakfast choice."

APA Hotel Kyoto Gion EXCELLENT

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent choice of hotels! The rooms were immaculate, and clean towels were delivered to the room daily. Bonus is the laundry room: 500 yen (use 5 x 100 yen coins) to wash and 100 yen to dry. On the bottom floor is a Starbucks, also with a friendly, helpful staff. This hotel is a great find!"

THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is perfectly located in the Akasaka district, less than a 10-minute walk from the nearest subway station, making it easy to access the main areas and tourist attractions across Tokyo. The staff were incredibly lovely and welcoming throughout our entire stay. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, although they are the typical smaller size you would expect in Tokyo. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend this hotel."

Gion Ryokan Karaku

8/10 Good

"Please don’t stay if you have a bad back or bad knees. The stay is authentic to Japanese culture."

SOWAKA

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in 6 high end hotels/ryokans over a 2,5 week period of time. Sowaka by far the most personalized service we received. The staff is highly professional and engaging. They made great recommendations based on our needs and requests. Arriving or leaving Sowaka was met with a warm reception each time. The room was well maintained and we always returned to inspiring messages. Gion Loka provided a great culinary experience both for dinner and breakfast. The location is also hard to beat if you are looking to spend time in the HIgashiyama area. Definitely not a one night and out of there experience. Spend several days here relaxing and exploring"

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was beautiful and very well located. lots of restaurants and shops around. I will definitely be back if we come back to Kyoto again. Super recommended!"
