Otsu Gesshinji Temple Hotels

"Room was clean. Self check in and check out. Difficult to communicate. Staff used a translator app if we had questions. No guests allowed to visit. Our friends could not come to our hotel. No food or drink allowed in lobby. Did not use the breakfast buffet. Great location, quiet, nice shower/bath. Room was small but we were touring about most of the time. Lots of restaurants to choose from. Lots of shops near by. "

"We had a great stay. It was near the shopping areas as well as the traditional district Gion. The rooms were comfortable and modern with a bakery and restaurant on the premises. We would definitely stay here again when in Kyoto."

"Nice hotel in an excellent location, near the station. "

"The rooms were very nice and the beds were heavenly!! The breakfast was okay, but overall the hotel was a wonderful stay in a great location!"

"Exceptional location (truly, the best area to be if you want to feel the charm and beauty of Kyoto)), incredibly warm and attentive staff, excellent breakfast. Rooms are not very fancy, but they are comfortable and spotless and showers are excellent. We would absolutely stay there again and highly recommend. "

"Hotel is in a great central location! Close by to Pontocho, Gion and train station. The canal next to the hotel was so beautiful with cherry blossoms and willow trees. Comfy beds and cozy rooms. The breakfast buffet was good also. Note that the hotel's restaurant closes by 3 pm. Would definitely recommend this hotel!"

"This is a very special hotel. It’s walking distance to Heian shrine. Lots of good hiking spots near by. The food selection is a little sparse, but there are some good spots near by. The room was very large and we got a view of a cherry tree from our room. Joshua from the staff was very nice and set us up for a great trip."

"The hotel is truly spectacular, the most beautifully designed communal areas. The staff were incredible throughout. Highly recommend."

"A very good hotel, ideally located in central Kyoto, just steps from the river, Nishiki Market, and a covered shopping street. The staff were pleasant and helpful, and the room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The bed and pillows are firm, but I personally slept very well. My only critic is the laundry room, which is much too small for the size of the hotel. I had difficulty accessing a dryer before hours and had to hang my clothes in the room without having access to a drying racks."
