Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome!"

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."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

"I really enjoyed this hotel. I will be back for sure if we get a chance to visit kyoto again someday. I love how close it is to nishiki market, but also transit to other places was super close. Only thing I noticed was the front end staff were surface level polite, but when I asked for help a few times they got frustrated with me. Only way I could tell is they made my questions feel dumb and honestly they probably were, but in my case, navigating their luggage delivery service was new to me since we dont have this where I live and it took my a few tries to navigate their site. I think the staff were friendly enough, but didnt have a lot of patience if you didnt understand something or had questions. Tbh I only asked like 2 questions l, but who knows, maybe they had a lot that day."

Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay! The location was perfect, making it easy to get around and explore Japan. The room was spacious, exceptionally clean, and had everything we needed to feel comfortable. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Japan!"

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location next to shops, restaurants, and stations. Provide LOTS of free amenities if you ever forget anything, free tea/coffee in lobby, and a PJ set. The staff were very helpful with luggage forwarding. They provided clean towels, water, and eye masks every day. Laundry is on two separate floors. One machine broke during our stay so we had to use one on a different floor which only took ¥100 coins."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Katata?

The best time to visit Katata is during spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November) when the weather is most pleasant for outdoor activities and sightseeing.

Spring in Katata brings mild temperatures and the beautiful cherry blossoms, which typically bloom from late March to early April. This is a lovely time for strolls along Lake Biwa or exploring the local temples and shrines, as the air is fresh and the scenery is particularly picturesque.

Autumn offers similarly agreeable weather with comfortable temperatures and vibrant autumn foliage, especially around the temples and the surrounding hillsides. The period from October to November is ideal for hiking, cycling, or enjoying a boat trip on Lake Biwa without the summer heat or winter chill.

While summer (June to August) can be warm and humid, it's a popular time for water sports and festivals.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Katata hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Katata hotel?

Hotel prices in Katata often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
