Garrya Nijo Castle Kyoto - Banyan Group

Garrya Nijo Castle Kyoto - Banyan Group

Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma Kyoto
We stayed in this hotel for 4 nights during our first visit to Kyoto. This hotel is very clean with nice accessories and modern Japanese accommodations located in quiet neighborhood away from constant tourist crowds but at the same time in walking distance from the emperor palace and right across from Nijo Castle. It is only 10-15 minutes away on taxi from Gion district and other main tourist attractions that Kyoto can offer. I also would like mention Garrya Nijo Castle Kyoto staff that made us feel very welcomed and specifically to Timothy Hui (front office manager) who went beyond his duties and make special accommodations for us during our visit in Kyoto.
Hotel the Mitsui Kyoto, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Spa

Hotel the Mitsui Kyoto, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Spa

Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma Kyoto
We were a group of 6 people staying at the Hotel Mitsui on a trek through Japan. Suffice it to say, that the group was all pleased that we stayed here. Our initial check in process was a bit bumpy (no tea service) as it was clear everyone was checking into the hotel for a holiday weekend. However, within 30 minutes, we were all on our way to our rooms. Overall, the hotel and the rooms are designed in muted tones and a modern zen vibe. Where other hotels would simply have drywall covered with pictures, the Mitsui has clearly thought about every surface. We were in a room that looked out to the central garden, which is beautiful. The room had a nice long marble bench at the entrance which was nice for putting shoes on or setting things down to pack / unpack. Further in the room, there is a bar area, desk area and a nice long padded bench by the window. Controls for the room are near the bed and you can dim lights or raise and lower blinds with ease. The bathroom is a very clever design with two pocket door entrances, offering a closet area, double sink, a wet room with tub and shower and rom for the toilet. The room for the toilet is wide and very peaceful. Of course, it comes with the fancy Toto Neorest toilet that raises and lowers the seat automatically, has a heated seat, has a bidet feature and more. The shower offers both a hand held and a rain head that with a fine spray. Bathroom toiletries are crafted for the Hotel Mitsui. Of course, robes were available (just ask if you need a different size). Let’s talk about sleeping…. The bed was among the most comfortable that I have ever tried (firm, with just the right amount of softness). Down pillows and a duvet complete the scene. And course, should you not like your pillow, there is a pillow menu. The rooms at the Mitsui are quiet with blackout shades. At night, gentle nightlights illuminate the path to the bathroom. In all, the sleep experience is well thought out and devine. One of the stand out features of the hotel would be the Thermal Springs in the basement. The Thermal Springs are a modern version of a traditional Japanese onsen. Access is open to everyone in the hotel, but the number of people permitted in is managed to in more than 14 people at a time. You have to call ahead to make sure there is space, but in our case, we were always able to get in. Anyone who out touring in Kyoto, should make time in their busy schedule to visit the Thermal Springs between their tours and dinner - it is a great way to wash off the city and relax before dinner - very civilized. This review is particularly fun for me as our stay at the Mitsui ultimately caused us to break up with our travel agent. He was SO insistent that we stay at the Ritz , he could not imagine trying something new like the Mitsui (nor was he willing o have his team check it out). In the end, I feel vindicated, we loved our stay at the Mitsui and would happily return

Hotel Excellence Enmachi Ekimae

Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma Kyoto
11.11 I went to Osaka first. It was one or two stops away from Shinsaibashi. The hotel cost around 350 and the facilities were pretty good (there were a lot of Chinese people). But after I went to Kyoto, the hotel cost around 650 (far away from the business district and in Marumachi). Nearby, close to the JR line, it is a sunken entrance, not easy to find), it is much worse than the ones with more than 300. The room is very small, the bathroom is small, it is very cramped for two people to stand, and there is just enough room to put a The bed and suitcase are barely open, as shown in the picture when the door is pushed open. Although breakfast is included, it is almost nothing. There are only slices of toast, a small package of dry noodles, and drinks, see the picture. When it came time to check in, our order included tax (later the customer service said it was value-added tax), and they also charged us accommodation tax, which was 200 yen per person per night, which was outrageous... Of course, I have never stayed at this hotel at this price. I don’t know if other hotels in Kyoto are like this, ugh😮💨

Kamishichiken Oku

Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma Kyoto
The hardware aspect of the inn is perfect.　 It can't be helped that the maple leaves in the courtyard haven't turned red due to the climate and location, but I wish they had at least picked the brown and withered leaves. All of the staff who assisted us were foreigners, but I wonder if there are no Japanese staff stationed there full-time. Even if you give your name at check-in, it cannot be checked against the reservation list (I told you that you are third from the top of the list). I made a reservation that included breakfast, but I was only booked for the night (the check-in sheet said ”room only”, so I pointed this out and discovered the error). When I requested a luggage delivery service to deliver to my next hotel (in Osaka), I was told that they could only deliver to Osaka Station (the list of internet and in-room services also said that delivery to the hotel was possible). When I pointed this out, they called the delivery company to confirm and accepted the order.Even at that time, they did not tell me the name of the hotel in Osaka.The price was different from what was listed in the room list ( The price had gone up)). Breakfast is a normal Makunouchi bento. etc. I wanted to experience the atmosphere of Kyoto, so I decided to stay at a fairly expensive hotel, but I was disappointed.

Hotel Livemax Kyoto Nijojonishi

Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma Kyoto
An unexpected incident occurred when I first arrived at the hotel. The order information was ”Kyoto Gojo Livemax Hotel”. The map navigation of the order was correct, but when I arrived at the hotel, there was no reservation information. Since I was unfamiliar with the place, I first asked the hotel staff to help confirm the reservation. The address and phone number are not theirs, and then ask the hotel staff to help find out where the address is? Then it was confirmed that it was ”Nijo Castle Livemax Hotel”, and I asked a ********* friend to contact the website to confirm. It was confirmed that the information was incorrect. I hope the website can strengthen it to prevent similar incidents from happening again. I thought I was going to sleep on the street. The hotel is not far from the JR station, so transportation is convenient. It is also clean and tidy. Even though it is a smoking room, there is no smell of smoke when you check in. If you need to change towels, you have to go to the counter to get them.

Urban Hotel Kyoto Nijo Premium

Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma Kyoto
This place is a few blocks away from Nijo JR station and a Y2000+ taxi ride from Kyoto station. There's also a subway station nearby. I wasn't in Japan as a tourist, but I don't think that its location is all that convenient to tourist attractions. Plus it's not really a restaurant district, but there are some decent places mostly in the vicinity of Nijo station. On arrival, I was delayed and concerned that my booking might be cancelled as a no-show. I called the hotel and they were most helpful, reassuring me that I could check in 24/7. As it was, I checked in after midnight, and there were no problems. My room was small but well equipped. The double bed was comfortable enough for my 4 night stay. There wasn't much of a view – it looked out onto the building next door. Like a lot of more recent business hotels in Japan, there was no bath, just a rain shower. There were breakfast and lunch buffets, but I didn't try either. A Y400 or Y450 breakfast was available at several coffee shops near Nijo station, and for lunch I visited local restaurants with family. Family members who had previously tried the lunch buffet said they'd been underwhelmed by its value for money. As far as my stay was concerned, I was happy with my room, enjoyed the service, and would stay again.

The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo

Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma Kyoto
Spacious hotel rooms considering the usual room size in Japan! I personally love the separated dry & wet bathroom. There’s free flow of hot & cold drinks and bathroom amenities located on the lobby which you can collect everyday! Nijo station is just across the road, you can even see it from the hotel! Friendly & helpful receptionist whenever I need helps! Tips: you can ask the receptionist for luggage transfer service (they will give you a card, you just need to scan the barcode & follow the instructions for reservation), I used it for my luggage transfer to Osaka (currently there’s a promotion where you can use the promo code for free luggage service transfer, for up to first 100 redemption per day). Overall I highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Kyoto!

　I wanted to go to Nijo Jo castle at the first time in the morning so I could choose this hotel. It is located north of Nijo Jo castle and is a few minutes walk. The price is not so high even though it is close to Nijo Jo castle. The hotel is also new and clean. I also saw Mt. Hiei from my room. Anyway, it was very convenient to have a microwave in the room.

Take the No. 50 bus from Kyoto Station and get off at Shangqixuan Station. Cross the road and follow the small road of the 7-11 convenience store. Then turn left for a total of three minutes. Because it is an overseas homestay, no breakfast is available. But the boss will prepare bread, butter, jam, etc. for free in the refrigerator, as well as free coffee, various teas, and Japanese snacks. There are three rooms in the hotel, and there are 3-4 people in larger rooms. The hotel owner is very welcoming, with very good sanitation and facilities to evaluate the five stars.

Resi Stay Nishijin

Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma Kyoto
We had mixed reviews of this accomodation Pros - was a very large room two small doubles and a bunk perfect for families. Amenities are great with wifi, lots of kitchen utensils, stove, tea and coffee supplied, toothbrushes available, washing machine and tablets are provided with an inbuilt dryer system in the bathroom. Bathroom and shower area was also spacious. Beds are on the okay side but could be softer. The area itself is nice and quiet with a bus stop right out from we utilised every day, supermarket and Lawsons are across the road and you feel very safe. Would recommend for families. Cons - check in is in a different location 20minute taxi away so we had to catch a train to the check in office when arriving in Kyoto from Osaka, then a taxi to the accomodation after this which chewed up a few hours as we had to wait 45min in addition to check in due to busyness of the office. The area is a bit out of the way of everything next time I might consider staying at a different resi stay location closer to sights and facilities like shops etc. All the restaurants in the area seem to not open for breakfast until 11am so we had to have McDonald’s if we didn’t want to cook or travel too far for breakfast as we have a toddler (early riser). Same occurred at dinner time a lot of restaurants didn’t seem to be open the Monday or Tuesday we were there or opened too late for us (we travelled with a four year old). Our last disappointment was resi stay apparently have a strict not noise at night policy however another room partied until about 3am but there is no front desk or after hours phone number to call to complain / get the noise to stop. Was very frustrating as walls were very thin so we didn’t sleep very well. Overall we would stay with Resi Stay again but at another location due to Nishijin being a bit too out of the way for us.

As a base for sightseeing in Kyoto, I used it with my husband for a plan with two meals per night. While the hotel rates in Kyoto City are soaring, the price is reasonable, there is a large communal bath, and I came by rental car, so it is convenient to have a parking lot, so I decided here. I visited Kinkakuji on the first day, and on the second day, I walked to Ninnaji Temple (about 30 minutes from the hotel) and also went to Ryuanji Temple. The hotel dinner was delicious, the breakfast was delicious, and it was good to be able to enjoy sightseeing in Kyoto at a reasonable price!

I have been in a small hotel for half a year. The RV Ben is not often here but we ran into it. Ben is very kind to the staff, and his English is very good (grew up in a foreign country), and communication is not a problem. There are many suggestions for parking, eating and traveling. In a small building, you have to take off your shoes and change slippers when you go in. The shoes are stored in the locker. Three rooms on each floor, a total of four floors (no elevator) The room is very large, with a clothes machine and a small kitchen The bathroom is very large, except for the bathtub and the shower area, hot water is enough and the water pressure is good Flower washing water, shower gel, detergent and washing powder are all available One Wifi per room, stable signal The environment is quiet, with a small balcony, it is more convenient to get in and out by bus, or you can drive by yourself. There is a paid parking lot nearby. It costs 1,000 yen from 8:00 in the evening to 8:00 the next morning, which is cheap in Kyoto. There are many small izakayas nearby. I don’t think it’s easy to communicate if I know a little bit of Japanese.
