"I stayed at the Chaya house which was absolutely stunning. The staff were incredibly friendly and a joy to speak with. Otsu is a smaller quiet town with lots of character and friendly residents. I highly recommend checking out the local Izakayas and cafes for an equally excellent experience."

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel surpassed expectations. It was extremely nice, with a delicious bakery in lobby. The room was a good size, amenities were ready for use and the shower was fantastic. Walkable to a bunch of picturesque sites nearby. Would recommend to stay here! "
"My stay at Hotel Okura Kyoto was truly exceptional and exceeded every expectation. From the moment I arrived, the staff impressed me with their warmth, professionalism, and genuine dedication to guest comfort. Every interaction felt personal and attentive, making me feel valued throughout my visit.
The room was beautifully designed, spacious, and meticulously maintained, with thoughtful amenities that made my stay both relaxing and convenient. The attention to detail in both comfort and cleanliness was outstanding. I especially appreciated the seamless blend of modern luxury with traditional Kyoto charm.
Dining at the hotel’s restaurants was another highlight. The food quality was simply superb, with dishes prepared to perfection and presented with elegance. Every meal was a delightful experience that reflected the high culinary standards the hotel is known for.
Overall, Hotel Okura Kyoto sets a gold standard in hospitality with its world-class service, excellent accommodations, and exceptional dining. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto and will certainly return on my next trip."
"The staff treated us like VIP the moment we got out of the taxi and checked in. The check-in staff served us matcha and very fresh mochi confectionaries.
The concierge, Yumi, in particular, went above and beyond to help us arrange our bullet train transportation after our stay to make our upcoming journey as seamless as possible. We could not be more grateful for her assistance.
Our Grand Serenity room was beautiful. We appreciated the additional treats that were provided during turn down service. We also loved the essential oil selections to enhance the smell of our room. The bed in our room was the most comfortable we had on our 2 week trip in Asia. My husband and I felt like we were in zen heaven during our entire stay. The complimentary Japanese kaiseki breakfast at the onsite restaurant Ryozen was also a treat! "
"Overall we loved our room, it was very large and very comfortable, the blinds in the bathroom was very dusty, in despite of the amazing view from any rooms, the breakfast was excellent, most items were top notch, the location near Kyoto, with a car parking easy to access and convenient, the view on the lake was very Zen. Definitely recommend the higher floors room totally worth it."
"We would stay in this hotel again in the future. They have all the toiletries that you would need and are extremely hospitable and friendly. The hotel is tucked in a more quiet neighborhood but is very close to public transportation (~5 min walk). There is also a convenience store nearby. Overall, it is great for families and those wanting a more relaxed yet clean place to rest after walking all day!"
