"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"

Hotel Excellence Enmachi Ekimae

THE JUNEI HOTEL Kyoto Imperial Palace West

"The hotel was very clean in a nice neighborhood with a market close by. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was Japanese themed and great way to start each day. The onsen tub in the room provided the settings of a Japanese onsen with privacy. Would love to stay here again."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Well run, clean and centrally located hotel."

Ben's Guesthouse Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"My son and I stayed at Ben's Guesthouse for four nights in September 2026. Our room was clean and plenty spacious. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean and totally functional, nice shower/bath. The air conditioning was comfortable and reliable. There is a strict no-shoes policy which is enforced by placing your footwear in designated slots before you enter beyond the office area. It's easy to adjust to this policy, and it translates into very clean floors throughout. Ben's is in a quiet and clean neighborhood, and particularly quiet at night, as all the stores on that particular street close early. There is still plenty going on at all hours within walking distance. We felt really lucky to have discovered Ben's Guesthouse. If I ever return to Kyoto, that's where I'll stay, beyond a doubt."

OKU Kamishichiken

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place to stay in an area of Kyoto that’s close to a few large, beautiful shrines. Really great room complemented by a wonderful, helpful staff. Would love to stay here again!"
