"Much has been written about Hiiragiya since it opened in 1861, usually rich with superlatives. Along with its cross-street neighbour Tawaraya, it’s considered the city’s greatest ryokan."

"This large hotel gets plenty of foreign guests... the free shuttle to Kyoto Station is a welcome service for those doing a bit of exploring."

Star Service
"While its dated exterior and not-much-newer interior do little to inspire, the reliable cookie cutter service pattern of Crowne Plaza is fully in place."

Although rooms on higher floors afford nice rooftop and mountain views, be sure to request one facing Nijo Castle.
