"My husband and my experience here was absolutely incredible! The facility in the main area and our room was wonderfully lovely and high quality. The staff were amazingly helpful and friendly. We celebrated my husband's birthday here and everything was perfect!"
"Severely outdated hotel. Most definitely NOT a family hotel as it is a "love hotel" and NOT safe for families. Entire room covered in yellow nicotine and the smell was horrendous. "
"What a gem!! We stayed for 4 days. Had to readjust our arrival and departure date at last minute due to typhoon Shanshan☹️. They even refunded our last day stay without asking as we had to leave a day earlier due to approaching typhoon.We arrived at midnight by train and the manager met us on site to welcome us and explain everything. Having a washer and dryer in one machine on site saved us! We would do a load of laundry every night and in the morning have clean clothes. Saved a lot of time...

Top Biwako Hall Hotel Reviews
Hotel Okura Kyoto Okazaki Bettei
10/10 Excellent
"This is a fabulous hotel to stay at. My family and I loved the experience.
Staff met us before the door and used a cart to bring our luggage inside. We were met immediately and offered comfortable seats and asked for our passports. They found our reservation and checked us in. They noticed that one of our children would be celebrating his birthday during our stay and brought him gifts of chopsticks. The service was stellar and continued at this high level throughout our stay and beyond (they shipped items we left to our next stop on our tour).
The rooms are comfortable, very clean, and roomy. The mattresses and pillows are very comfortable. We found origami cranes on our bed, which was a lovely touch.
Breakfast exceeded our expectations.There was a first course of breads with a bento box. We ordered the American breakfast but it came with very Japanese touches: salad with local greens, a salmon sushi, and several others. The main course was equally wonderful.
The hotel property abuts a shrine and they created a garden space that was as nice as the shrine. We were with walking distance to the Philosophers Path.
We used the buses to get to the city center. Stops for the various lines were a few steps from the hotel and just around the corner. We also walked there and back on our first evening.
The hotel staff were gracious and efficient in getting us a taxi reservation to the main train station and communicated our destination to our driver."
"This hotel exceeded our expectations. The room was clean and spacious. There were 2 restaurants and a bakery/ cafe on the main level. It was too hot to spend time on the roof deck but it was lovely and the food looked delicious.
Staff were very helpful with dinner reservations and forwarding our luggage to Tokyo.
Sera, one of the hotel staff was especially helpful when my daughter needed to be seen by a medical doctor. She called for us and arranged for her to be seen before the office closed.
I highly recommend this hotel."
"Spacious compared to other hotels in the Kyoto station area. Very quiet inside, despite being built within the station. Little kids will enjoy watching the Shinkansen run on the track from the rooms!"
"The food choices were fantastic, and the bed was so comfortable that we felt completely relaxed. We truly enjoyed everything and look forward to returning again.”"
"Fantastic traditional Japanese breakfast and western options as well. The hot springs were amazing and the best hard but very comfortable - it felt good for the back! "
THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

"This is a gem of a hotel a short walk from so many wonderful attractions in Kyoto! The staff were top notch and helpful in every way. The view from our room was serene and the hotel decor was elegant. We did laundry while we were there and soaked in the foot bath. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a luxurious accommodation without too high of a price!"
