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.

This place was absolutely gorgeous and clean. The included breakfast was delicious, healthy, and so complete. This is one of the best hotels where we have stayed in our travels through different countries for sure. Highly recommended. A few steps from the train station so its location is super convenient. Highly recommended. So beautiful. 5 stars - no question.

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.

This hotel was absolutely amazing. From the moment I checked in to the moment I checked out. The level of service that I received at this place was far and above better than any service I have received at any hotel I've ever stayed at. Breakfast I had every morning was expertly made and absolutely delicious. The view of Nijo Castle from my room was the highlight of the room for me. Nothing is more relaxing a nice hot bath and cup of tea whilst looking at the beautiful world heritage site. Every night when I return from touring Kyoto I came into a completely clean room, fresh sheets, and my pajamas folded and placed on the foot of my bed. One drawback someone my say is the location is some what far away from the most popular sites in the city. But a subway station literally just around the corner. Made it so easy to traverse city. Saving big money on taxis. I was not able to have dinner at the restaurant, but with bunch little restaurants, bars. Getting something to eat was never a problem. I have decided that I'm definitely coming back to Kyoto, and I will refuse to stay anywhere else.

We had an awesome experience staying at Garrya Nijo Castle. The views of the the Nijo castle were spectacular and it was a very convenient location to experience highlights of Kyoto by walking or using the public transport. Really friendly and professional staff made our stay special. We also really enjoyed the breakfast and the set dinner, and really looking forward to our next visit.

Extremely well trained staff to take care of your needs. Very nice and receptive. Location is excellent if you want to visit the Nijo Castle but minimal shopping and dining around hotel. Hotel does have a Michelin Star restaurant which was offering free breakfast and dinner during our stay. No gym, no spa and no pool. Rooms were great very spacious with an open feeling. Ours had an elevated dining area on tatami mats. Room safe, well stocked refrig and huge shower and bath.

From the reception on arrival, to the staff at breakfast and dinner, I could not have felt more welcome. I stay in many hotels around the world for business and this was one of my favourite. The location was perfect for me and the room was really well equipped. The food was fantastic. The breakfast waiter even helped me with my plans for the day with great advice on where to go. Will definitely return.
