Garrya Nijo Castle Kyoto

Me and my mum travelled to Kyoto for the first time and decided to stay 2 nights at this hotel. We were absolutely blown away by how kind, helpful and welcoming the staff were. The breakfast and service was impressive. We also loved the location, it was easy to travel to and from the train station. The rooms and surroundings were stunning . Thank you so much for making our stay memorable and we highly recommend this hotel !

We had an exceptional stay at the Garrya Nijo Castle hotel. The hotel itself gorgeous, tranquil and well-located, being directly across from Nijo Castle and within walking distance of the centre, while still being in a peaceful and non touristy area. The fact that the hotel restaurant is michelin starred is also remarkable. But what made it amazing was the impeccable, attentive and personalised service by their staff. Their recommendations as to restaurants and activities were always spot-on and made our stay unforgettable. Highly recommend.

Simply outstanding and the most wonderful and helpful staff. We stayed for several nights and were able to enjoy the restaurant for a last-minute dinner and several breakfasts - it’s fantastic! High level of execution. When my partner fell ill during our stay, Garrya staff went above and beyond to help us with a local clinic as well as other medical support. They were very caring. The location is in a very quiet neighborhood next to the Castle, and just a few blocks from a bustling street filled with small restaurants, bakeries etc. Thank you for taking great care of us, and we will be back for sure!
