DK Eyewitness "A big but welcoming hotel, with very comfortable rooms, car parking, and 24-hour access."
Time Out "The granite facade promises grand things, but the Hearton is a strange place. The lobby is a sterile cafe; there’s a barely perceptible difference between single and double rooms." Full review

Fodor's "Visiting Kyoto's temples gives you a taste of the city's history, but staying in one is a more intimate way of experiencing the past. ... Rooms are comfortable but appropriately ascetic." Full review
Time Out "Not many temple lodgings come furnished with wireless internet, air-conditioning and a kitchen, but these rooms within the grounds of the Myoshin-ji complex are surprisingly comfy." Full review
Frommer's "For a different kind of experience, consider staying at this Buddhist temple, established in 1590." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"This is a shukubō, or temple lodging, at a subtemple in Myōshin-ji. It’s very comfortable and quiet and the main priest here speaks fluent English." Full review
