Top Shimo-sakamoto Hotel Reviews

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice. Prime location, nice room and good onsen"

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The Nohga Hotel is truly exceptional! The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. The hotel is immaculate and beautifully designed. The rooftop is comfortable and inviting. The breakfast was delicious with more than enough variety. The location is perfect with bus and metro stops nearby making it easy to navigate anywhere we wanted to go. We absolutely loved our stay and highly recommend this hotel."

APA Hotel Kyoto Eki Horikawadori

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and they cleaned it well when I had my room cleaned. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The smallest room is pretty small so be aware of your luggage(s). There are 3 washers( the same machines dry your clothes) and there is usually a line to use them during the evening aka the time people come back from sightseeing/ exploring. There's a 7-Eleven right next door and the train station/bus station is super close. They have a luggage delivery system which made traveling to my other hotel super convenient."
