"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."
"Severely outdated hotel.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. "
"Nice new hotel located just a short walk from train station. Friendly service, clean and with a surprisingly spacious room. Good place to stay if you are looking to spend the night in Uji"

"Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo was the perfect location to stay. It was just a few minutes from the train station, so perfect after a long day walking. It was so clean and the staff was very friendly. Easy check in. Can’t wait to visit Kyoto again!"
"Very clean and quiet location. Very helpful staff from front desk to dining room. Buffet breakfast was highlight of the day.
Location is very close to Fushimi Inari. However , need to take the train to Kyoto Station."
"I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Keihan Kyoto Hachijoguchi. The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk from Kyoto Station, making it easy to get around the city and explore nearby sights.
The room was spotless, modern, and very comfortable. The bed was excellent, and all the little details—like the in-room air purifier, amenities, and thoughtful design—made it feel welcoming and relaxing.
One of my favorite features was the large public bath, which was such a refreshing way to unwind after a day of sightseeing. The breakfast buffet was also fantastic, with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options to start the day right.
The staff were outstanding—always polite, helpful, and attentive. Their warm hospitality really made a difference.
Overall, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kyoto. It offers excellent comfort, great facilities, and unbeatable convenience. I would happily stay here again!"
"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."
