"ホテルの顔である玄関の自動ドアの電源が切れてて、手動を強要してる。 Wifiが使えるか聞いたら、ロビー近くしか使えないといわれた。にも拘わらず部屋にランケーブルも無ければ、言わないと貸してくれない。大荷物持ってるのに階段でどうぞ！と言われた。（エレベーターもあるのに）部屋の鍵が解りにくいのに説明なし。（鍵を回しながらドアを押さないと開かない）ホテルの門限23時。歴史的には有名な地である点と川の中州に建てられたホテルなので景色は良いけど、何もなくて不便だった… フロントも居たり居なかったり、呼び鈴を押すタイプ。愛想は悪くなかったけど、シルバー人材センターのアルバイトって感じだった。掃除はよくされてたけど、施設は古く快適とはいいがたかった… 眺望は良かったけど、リピートはしないな。"

Top Takebe Taisha Shrine Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend, amenities and vibe was fantastic."

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

8/10 Good

"Breakfast buffet was great. Staff was helpful. Room is very small for 3 people, but we made it work. Great area. Lots of shops and restaurants."

The Westin Miyako Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Our issue was very specific and might not affect most. There were limited gluten free options in the restaurants for lunch and dinner. Although you can convince a chef in other places to grill fish or steak easily, it was not an option here, at least in the common restaurant. Breakfast was better. They had gluten free bread and many options. Also, all restaurants (there are two other special ones) close rather early. But other than these (which might not be a big issue for most) a really good hotel. Fantastic staff."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"Second time in the hotel , even we asked to be upgraded they offered just with extra charge . Breakfast doesn’t have the variety I would expect including lack of western products and vegetables . Service is good in general and location excellent . Room size is not too big for superior double All together price wise is reasonable"

THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

8/10 Good

"Really enjoyed our stay. The hotel staff were excellent and the hotel shuttle was especially beneficial. The only recommendation I would offer is to have coffee mugs and ice and water dispensers in the rooms or at least on each floor."

Biwako Hotel

8/10 Good

"room fine bathroom a bit dated as is the rest of the hotel. overall good location right on lake all rooms have view of lake pool is free for resident but very over clorinated which gave us all bad rashes. so only used once which was a sham as reason we stayed there. station close and hotel has shuttle bus to station 3 times an hour which was good over all hotel ok probably not to my taste but very popular with locals we were only english there and a good place to stay away from hustle and bustle of kyoto but easy access as only two stops on train. stayed there 20 years ago and it hadn’t changed since then"

Smile Hotel Otsu Seta

10/10 Excellent

"部屋が綺麗で良いホテルでした"

Kyoto Universal Hotel Karasuma

10/10 Excellent

"It was a nice little Place for what I needed. I spent most of the time traveling around but it was good for a place to sleep and shower. The breakfast was good early in the morning and they do offer Dinner too but I did not take advantage because of the good food in Japan."

Toyoko Inn Kyoto Biwako Otsu

10/10 Excellent

"Toyoko Hotels are usually great. They are clean, convenient, and affordable, and they tend to have lots of useful amenities or people who might have forgotten to bring something like a toothbrush or razor. This particular hotel has a really convenient location that's a short walk from several train stations and from a couple of very charming and pleasant shopping arcades. Miidera (三井寺) and Lake Biwa (琵琶湖) are also manageable walks. Otsu is a lovely and underrated city, and this hotel is in a really nice part of the city."
