Kyoto Hosen-in Temple Hotels

"beware this place is kinda a tourist trap. it’s a bit expensive for what it is and feels more like a gimmick than the actual culture. that being said, everything is very nice and no complaints about the room, onsen, and service, just way bigger than expected!"

"Overall the hotel was very good, staff very helpful, location at the city centre. However, hot breakfast was lacking for vegetarians like us, the toaster was pathetic with everyone waiting long to get toast. "

"The place is lovely, and the staff is wonderful. I’m just not sure it’s worth the trip up to Ohara…"

"Nice, big clean rooms"

"Helpful, pleasant and amazingly efficient staff with solid English skills. The restaurant offers international favorites at reasonable prices and we loved the bakery breakfast options before heading out for sightseeing. I recommend taking a taxi to/from Kyoto station when arriving or departing the hotel. Life is good."

"Great hotel, very clean and excellent staff. Glad I picked this hotel for my first trip to Kyoto."

"The staff was very helpful especially for checking on whether places were open and on obtaining a taxi. The rooms lack places to put your clothes and lack suitcases stands so one must plan to use the limited supply of hangars and live out of a suitcase. The showers are handheld so one might instead plan to use the open facilities and hot baths. The food was excellent and help is available everywhere."

"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!"
