Guesthouse Hyakumanben Cross
4.3/521 Reviews
A typical youth hostel, the first floor restaurant, the second floor study plus kitchen, the third floor bedroom and the washing area, the location is close to the Kamogawa Delta, it is very convenient to go to the Kamogawa Shrine.
Guest House Aoi Nakamoto
4.3/55 Reviews
I have nothing but gratitude for the kind owner. This hotel did not have excessive service, so it was easy to stay and it was good. I had business at the nearest Kumano Wakaoji Shrine, but it was a very convenient hotel at a close distance. The bath and kitchen were clean and beautiful. However, since there is no TV in the room, it was good to bring a portable radio in advance. A few minutes' walk away is the Datsukus Jodoji store directly across from the supermarket Fresco, and a few minutes' walk to the Family Mart store. I bought a lunch box for two meals in the morning and evening at Fresco and stayed there for several nights. It is a good hotel that is convenient, cheap, and easy to stay in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto. I would like to stay again.
Pension Kitashirakawa
3.6/58 Reviews
There are two single beds as big, with separate bathroom. The room is very clean. One person is definitely enough. The boss has a rule to open at 7 in the morning and close at 10:30 in the evening. If you want to have a nightlife, be careful. It is very close to the starting point of the philosophy of philosophy.
Aoi Suites at Nanzenji Modern & Traditional Japanese Style
5/51 Reviews
For a hotel booked by my parents, I only know a big Japanese villa when I check in. Very close to the Ginkakuji Temple, there is a small yard at the entrance, behind the philosophy road, it is very comfortable to take a walk in the morning. Breakfast is a pure Japanese breakfast delivered to the room outside, and the experience is good.
Heian No Mori Kyoto
3.8/530 Reviews
Visited in September 2017. It is next to Okazaki Jinja shrine on the north side of Heian Jingu shrine. If the vicinity of Okazaki kaguroya is for travel purposes, it is just right, the bus stop is close, there are supermarkets and convenience stores, and it is convenient. However, if you try to go to other areas, you can use the bus to some extent, or if you are not a car user, you will be very difficult to move. The hotel itself is quite old, but the room is renewed little by little and the interior is brand new. It seemed to be a little chighug renovation, but it is not bad. It is good to feel both nostalgia and newness. The old-fashioned tourist hotel is comfortable with a relaxed construction, complete public bath. There are several direct shuttle buses to Kyoto Station, so you can use it if you schedule it.
Hotel Okura Kyoto Okazaki Bettei -Age Requirement 12 over-
4.7/560 Reviews
The Okura Okazaki Bettie is a beautifully designed modern hotel and was the perfect choice for our combined business/leisure visit to Kyoto. The location was reasonably close (short taxi ride) to excellent restaurants and sights in the culturally historic area east of the river. The guest room quality, cleanliness and comfort is excellent - finished to a high standard with large windows overlooking the garden below and temples beyond. Breakfast was served in the restaurant overlooking the hotel's own zen garden. The choice of either ”Kyoto”or ”American” breakfast was amazing, beautifully presented bento style, exceptionally fresh, plentiful and delicious. Indeed this was one of the best hotel breakfasts ever. Finally the service level is exceptional. Both management and staff did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable and hassle free. Neither the most nor least expensive option in Kyoto - just simple great value. We look forward to returning next time.
