Top Kyoto National Museum Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel Kyoto Ekihigashi

10/10 Excellent

"Very easy to get to from Kyoto station and located close to shopping and eating. Easy access to all public transportations to get to our attractions."

Hotel Granvia Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is right next to the Kyoto Station and it is convenient for those new to the city. Most of the attractions are scattered throughout the city, and using the station area as a base provides a great deal of flexibility. The breakfast at the hotel provides an extensive array of Japanese and western options and everything is well prepared. The area also has many good restaurants within walking distance. One thing to know is that the hotel is on the south side of the train tracks. If you want to go to the north side, you will have to take an elevator outside the station and go to the lower level, then walk underground to the other elevator to get to the north side. Google Map doesn't tell you that and it may be tricky to figure out."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

"I really enjoyed this hotel. I will be back for sure if we get a chance to visit kyoto again someday. I love how close it is to nishiki market, but also transit to other places was super close. Only thing I noticed was the front end staff were surface level polite, but when I asked for help a few times they got frustrated with me. Only way I could tell is they made my questions feel dumb and honestly they probably were, but in my case, navigating their luggage delivery service was new to me since we dont have this where I live and it took my a few tries to navigate their site. I think the staff were friendly enough, but didnt have a lot of patience if you didnt understand something or had questions. Tbh I only asked like 2 questions l, but who knows, maybe they had a lot that day."

Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay! The location was perfect, making it easy to get around and explore Japan. The room was spacious, exceptionally clean, and had everything we needed to feel comfortable. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Japan!"

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location next to shops, restaurants, and stations. Provide LOTS of free amenities if you ever forget anything, free tea/coffee in lobby, and a PJ set. The staff were very helpful with luggage forwarding. They provided clean towels, water, and eye masks every day. Laundry is on two separate floors. One machine broke during our stay so we had to use one on a different floor which only took ¥100 coins."

Rihga Gran Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay here, it’s only a 5-10 min walk from Kyoto Station. Room was a great size and staff were super helpful and nice. Only downside was there were only 5 or 6 laundry machines for the entire building which made it very difficult to find one available. There is a coin laundry down the roads but we ended up just staying up until one was free at midnight. I would stay here again and recommend it!"
