SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

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!!"

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Shimo-Sakamoto?
The best time to visit Shimo-Sakamoto is during spring (April to early May) and autumn (late October to November). These seasons offer comfortable weather and stunning natural beauty, making them ideal for exploring the area.

Spring brings mild temperatures and the beautiful cherry blossoms, particularly around the temples and along the shores of Lake Biwa. It's a wonderful time for leisurely walks and enjoying the fresh air.

Autumn is equally appealing with its vibrant foliage, as the leaves turn brilliant shades of red and gold.
