9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (1002)
"A Return to Excellence: The Kyoto Brighton Hotel Experience In 2016, we had the pleasure of staying at the Kyoto Brighton Hotel, and our experience was so memorable that we chose to return in April 2024. Nestled in a serene residential area, the hotel is a stone’s throw away from the historic Kyoto Gosho and a myriad of quaint temples and shrines. Iconic landmarks such as Nijo-jo, Kinkaku-ji, and Ryoan-ji are just a short bus, subway, or taxi ride away. The hotel offers first-class hospitality...

"Wow - we have just checked out from a 1 night stay at this Yoshida Sanso and we were truly amazed at both the place itself and even more so the lovely people that looked after us so well! We are celebrating our honeymoon in Japan and the family who run the Ryokan couldn’t have done more to make our stay a more memorable one! Would recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful and authentic Ryokan experience! ❤️"

"Great location. Rooms were spacious, clean, and noise was pretty low. My only complaint was the up charge for the fitness center and pool. It was small but you had to show your receipt for rentry on the same day. It was a frustrating process that wasn’t very customer friendly when you just wanted to workout or swim multiple times in a day. "

4.5 star property
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (15)
"This was a great house for our family of 6. It is the entire house, 3 floors, with 4 bedrooms on top floor. Main floor has a combined kitchen/dining room/family room and a separate area with Tamami mats/tea room, and basement has a TV room and a pool table room. House is very nice, very clean, and just 2 minutes from Fushimi Inari Shrine. 2 train stops away from main Kyoto station. Good internet, fast. Any concerns were minor: tricky to adjust water temperature, difficult to figure out...

3.0 star property
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (17)
"This was our second stay at Serendipity. The property is nicely maintained and we were very comfortable. Chie san was very helpful. We tried out some more of her recommended restaurants and were not disappointed. A particular plus is that the house, while very quiet, is just steps from a major bus line, so that it is very easy to get downtown, to the station, or to Higashiyama or Gion, in just minutes. We also enjoyed walking to Kitano Tenmangu and to Kinkakuji, although a bus will also take you...
