Top Otani Sobyo Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"We loved everything about this hotel. Seriously—there isn’t one thing they haven’t thought of to cover for your comfort. Highly recommend!"

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

10/10 Excellent

"The place had excellent location and convenience to dining, shopping and train station access. I do find that a bigger and more comfortable rooms was not an option when I booked this stay from 6 months ago, is it because that’s what is available for Expedia customers?"

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"The room was super clean and the staff were so helpful with any questions we had in the area. There are shops around this location and nishiki market is super close. There are buses that run constantly in front of the hotel as well as subways 5-10 minutes walking distance. It was a wonderful experience!"

The Westin Miyako Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Concierge was very nice. Front desk nice. Beautiful hotel. The food was the highlight. Wow"

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely holiday"

Hilton Kyoto

Gion Ryokan Karaku

8/10 Good

"Very convenient location, close to the main attractions."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"Pros: - The rooms were spacious compared to most Japanese hotel rooms. It was nice to have a more traditional tatami style room. - The breakfast buffet had an incredible selection to choose from. There’s a bit of a wait depending on when you go, but it goes rather quickly. - Late night unlimited ramen from 9pm-11pm was also a nice touch. We loved being able to eat a light meal after a long day of exploring. - Onsen access is really nice, with massage chairs available for use. And unlimited ice cream every night was also really delicious. Cons: - Having guests take off their shoes at the lobby makes the place smell like feet. It’s pretty gross since it was raining when we were there so it was a mix of wet socks and feet stench. They should at least require that people wear hotel rooms slippers. - The onsen was really dirty from the amount of people that would use the facilities. It was overcrowded and packed during the night time. Overall, I’d stay at this hotel again, but refrain from using public facilities. It’s almost impossible to keep the public areas clean and free of smells since there are so many guests."

Kyoto Granbell Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I was not expecting the eco hotel approach that greeted us and we were a little confused at first by the do-it-yourself approach to room cleaning etc but the staff were helpful and the system did work - reducing the burden of unnecessary cleaning or waste. The public onsen was lovely too - a real bonus plus an excellent location. The rooms were small but not noisy and had everything you needed right in the heart of Kyoto."
