This was the nicest hotel I have ever stayed at. I almost did not want to leave for the days I stayed here. I did spend one long night here just to enjoy it and recover from all the walking around Kyoto I was doing. The breakfast that was included was some of the best I have ever had. I highly recommend!

An amazing hotel with a fantastic restaurant. The staff was also fantastic. However, it would have been nice to have some more basic dining choices as every meal looked like a photo from a magazine. The food was great but sometimes a guy just wants a simple omelet for breakfast without the other 8 options that come with it. Maybe that's just me. Yes I'd recommend this place. However the location is a bit out of the way.

The Garrya Nijo Castle is an impeccable hotel with a top-notch staff. The hotel is hidden away in a quiet neighborhood, just a short taxi or subway ride from the highly-trafficked tourist areas. In fact, you wouldn't know it was there if you weren't looking for it. With just 24 rooms, each guest is treated with the utmost attention and care. The check-in process was perhaps the most thorough and welcoming I have ever experienced at a hotel. The rooms are generous in size—even by Western standards, spotlessly clean, and full of quality amenities. Unlike Tokyo's convoluted subway system, Kyoto's is easy to navigate and a stop is conveniently located just a few strides from the hotel. All in all, I highly recommend this property and couldn't be more pleased with the experience.

Gorgeous Garrya Nijo Castle Kyoto - 5 star

Cannot say enough good things about this hotel. Our room was absolutely beautiful and the service We were warmly welcomed. Room was serviced daily along with turn down in the evening. The bed was huge and very comfortable with very nice linens. Breakfast was first class, excellent. We are english speaking and it was nice that the t.v. allowed us to cast netflix so we could watch at bedtime in english. Location is excellent - very convenient to all necessities and shopping. 100% reccomend and would return.
