Top Hotels Near Mount Hiei in Kyoto from AU$86

"Excellent hotel. Location is great. Very clean. Nice breakfast. Would not hesitate to stay again."

"Easy location to walk to once you arrive to Kyoto station - even with suitcases and backpacks. No cab needed as it’s barely a five minute walk. Breakfast in my opinion is a case of quantity over quality and I’ve preferred the breakfast at other places we stayed where there is not as much variety but it’s high quality. In saying that, I take my hat off to the chefs who prepare so much food every day for all the guests. It would be literally impossible to deliver that much food at a high quality so it’s definitely not a criticism of their efforts. The onsen was extremely busy so not as relaxing as I’d expected so only went once during our five night stay, which was a shame. The massage chairs are a great addition as an alternative and the hot drinks were great to have available all the time. Very glad we included this hotel to get a slightly more authentic Japanese experience, but was very glad to see a more familiar bed and pillow once we got to Osaka. Extremely hectic hotel in a convenient location and the staff do a great job of keeping it in order. If you want a great place to eat try the Gyukatsu Kyoto that’s a two minute walk down the road. Amazing beef!"

"I'm so happy that we picked this hotel. While not the least expensive place in Kyoto, it was definitely worth the money spent. Our room was not facing the street, so bear that in mind since it is located on a busy street. The room was very quiet and very clean. We had a three bed hotel room and they provided a sleepshirt/yukata for each member of the family. The bathroom very clean and had one of the Toto bidet seats which was a plus for my wife. The room itself was pretty roomy for a Japanese hotel. The staff was extremely helpful. My limited Nihongo would have been issue, but fortunately several of the staff spoke English. The big plus was that the hotel had a European style bakery (Cicon), so you could have a light breakfast and coffee. The baguette was nice. They also have some unique Japanese flavored breads for sale. If you're adventurous, go for it. There is also a rooftop bar, but it was busy the time we visited so we didn't get a chance to sit up there. There is a self paid laundry on site. The hotel is about a 15 minute walk to the Kiyomizu temple and a 7 minute walk to the Kyomizu-Gojo subway station, so your tourist spots are very walkable via the local transportation. Oh, btw, there is a nice India/Bagladeshi restaurant called Chakra around the block. The owner speaks english and we had a great conversation with him."

"Brighton hotel. Very nice hotel! The best in kyoto"

"Large hotel with amazing views of the lake. However amenities a little dated. We felt the beds and the lounge area in our room could have been swapped around to get the best view when relaxing with a drink rather than while asleep. Excellent location despite a little long walk to the station ( realise there was a shuttle available but prefer to walk) Bathroom needs an upgrade."

"Rooms were clean and well kept. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Breakfast vouchers are for the Sizzler's down stairs. Getting updated coin washers and dryers would be a great help to the guests. Took us and several others hours of waiting for a dryer then hours to actually dry. Sad the Godzilla patio wasn't open. Was told that someone tried to climb up the Godzilla head so they have closed it until further notice."

"Such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay on the outskirts of Kyoto ... a hidden and perfect respite to escape the busy city action but still close enough to pop in and check out all the amazing places in town. The facilities, the meals, and the service were awesome, and we'd like to especially mention the wonderful manager who always made us feel special, Koichi Koike! Thank you for a 5-star experience and we are already looking forward to returning to your hotel. Highly highly recommended!"

"Having a private bath in the patio was great. Staff was courteous and friendly, the food was excellent, and having three different open air hot spring was a plus. Ideal for solo travelers."

"Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The onsen was amazing! The dinner and breakfast they serve is very large and delicious. The area is perfect for someone wanting peace and quiet. I would love to go back and stay again!"
