Top Shimo-sakamoto Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Don't miss out on the hot springs."

Hotel Granvia Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is right next to the Kyoto Station and it is convenient for those new to the city. Most of the attractions are scattered throughout the city, and using the station area as a base provides a great deal of flexibility. The breakfast at the hotel provides an extensive array of Japanese and western options and everything is well prepared. The area also has many good restaurants within walking distance. One thing to know is that the hotel is on the south side of the train tracks. If you want to go to the north side, you will have to take an elevator outside the station and go to the lower level, then walk underground to the other elevator to get to the north side. Google Map doesn't tell you that and it may be tricky to figure out."
