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
OysterMid-Range
"This basic business hotel is just that -- a standard, somewhat generic, mid-range hotel offering clean and comfortable accommodations with 294 guest rooms, an on-site restaurant, and meeting rooms." Full review

"This modern hostel is set in a green, natural area in Northwest Kyoto, a bit far from downtown but close to temples and natural features, including the Arashiyama bamboo forest." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"The best hostel in Kyoto, Utano is friendly and well organised and makes a convenient base for the sights of Northwest Kyoto (but keep in mind that it’s a hike to reach any other part of town)." Full review
