Top Katata Hotel Reviews

Rihga Gran Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed one night, but hotel was perfect for us. Hotel is located close to Kyoto Station making it convenient. Room was smaller with our requested 3 twin beds, but very doable. We opted out on their breakfast"

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

10/10 Excellent

"The place had excellent location and convenience to dining, shopping and train station access. I do find that a bigger and more comfortable rooms was not an option when I booked this stay from 6 months ago, is it because that’s what is available for Expedia customers?"

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"The room was super clean and the staff were so helpful with any questions we had in the area. There are shops around this location and nishiki market is super close. There are buses that run constantly in front of the hotel as well as subways 5-10 minutes walking distance. It was a wonderful experience!"

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."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at this hotel. Everything was clean, the staff were thoughtful and helpful and our needs were met. I want to share that the hotel smells great! I saw some recent reviews that there was a bad odor coming from the hotel. If this was a recent problem, it's been addressed. As of mid-October, everything looked new and smelled great."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Katata?

The best time to visit Katata is during spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November) when the weather is most pleasant for outdoor activities and sightseeing.

Spring in Katata brings mild temperatures and the beautiful cherry blossoms, which typically bloom from late March to early April. This is a lovely time for strolls along Lake Biwa or exploring the local temples and shrines, as the air is fresh and the scenery is particularly picturesque.

Autumn offers similarly agreeable weather with comfortable temperatures and vibrant autumn foliage, especially around the temples and the surrounding hillsides. The period from October to November is ideal for hiking, cycling, or enjoying a boat trip on Lake Biwa without the summer heat or winter chill.

While summer (June to August) can be warm and humid, it's a popular time for water sports and festivals.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
