#9 of 9 hotels in Nijo Castle by Axel's take. Nijo Castle is #5 of 7 places to stay in Kyoto. The best hotels in Nijo Castle, ranked · Where to stay in Kyoto

Axel's take: 7.9/10

A dependable castle-side base, but choose your room carefully. an older full-service 4-star opposite Nijo Castle, scored for what it is.

ANA Crowne Plaza Kyoto is an older full-service 4-star that works best as a practical sightseeing base rather than a design-led escape. We'd choose it for the Nijo Castle setting, nearby subway and complimentary Kyoto Station shuttle. Booking.com and Expedia guests consistently praise cleanliness and helpful staff; breakfast also earns positive mentions. It's a solid choice if traditional hotel service matters more than contemporary interiors.

The catch is uneven room condition. Recent Tripadvisor and Expedia reviews still describe tired interiors, while renovated rooms attract better feedback: confirm the room category rather than assuming the whole hotel has been refreshed. The hotel confirms its Santeloi pool and sauna closed at the end of March 2026, despite lingering listings advertising them. We'd skip it for a swimming-focused family stay or if lively dining and nightlife immediately outside are priorities.

  • Best for: castle-focused sightseeing; travelers who value full-service hotels; guests comfortable using transit

  • Watch out for: uneven condition between room categories; pool and sauna closed; quieter setting away from nightlife

  • Location: Opposite Nijo Castle, close to Nijojo-mae subway; complimentary Kyoto Station shuttle.

  • Rooms: Renovated and older rooms coexist; recent guests still flag tired interiors in some categories.

  • Cleanliness: A consistent strength overall, supported by strong Booking.com and Expedia cleanliness ratings.

  • Service: Helpful, courteous staff receive broad praise, despite occasional less-warm encounters.

  • Amenities: Restaurants, breakfast and waterfall-facing lounge; Santeloi pool and sauna closed in March 2026.

  • Fees and surprises: Accommodation tax is extra; breakfast for children sharing existing beds may not be included.
