Excellent boutique hotel next to Nijo Castle. The concierge is by far the best in the hotels I’ve stayed in so far. They went above and beyond to help me book a special restaurant for my partners birthday. The restaurants dinner and breakfast is really tasty too.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Carrya Nijo Castle hotel and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay were comfortable and enjoyable. They were attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about providing top-notch service.The room was immaculate, well-appointed, and offered every amenity I could have hoped for. The housekeeping team did an incredible job of maintaining the space, making it feel fresh and welcoming each day.What truly sets Carrya Nijo Castle hotel apart, though, is the people. Every interaction, from the front desk to the restaurant,their exceptional hospitality. It’s clear that customer satisfaction is a priority here, and it shows in every aspect of the experience.I can’t recommend this hotel highly enough for anyone looking for a truly memorable stay. I will definitely be returning!Also we had a incredible dinner and an amazing experience over all. It was better than Michelin stars restaurants.Thank you to all staff in Carrya Nija hotel to make our trip to Kyoto unforgettable.

The hotel was very nice, but on a main road and was not well insulated. So there were a lot of loud speakers in the room. There was a menu for breakfast, what many people wanted had to be paid for. …

Visit for breakfast. I called just before I went, and the staff at the bell greeted me politely and guided me around, as you would expect from a small hotel. …
