Garrya Nijo Castle Kyoto by Banyan Group

This was our third stay.Our ground-floor room facing the bamboo grove was a soothing retreat.The greenery visible through the large windows made it feel cool even in the height of summer.Dinner at Shinzo was as delicious as ever.The presentation and ingredient combinations always surprise us and are something we look forward to.The pairing of seasonal dishes with wine was also superb.The consistently warm hospitality made this another relaxing stay. Thank you.

This was my first stay here. From the moment I arrived at the Hotel, the staff’s hospitality at the entrance was so attentive that it’s impossible to compare with other hotels.When I entered my Room, it was spotless—not a speck of dust—and I was truly impressed by the outstanding skill of the housekeeping team.In the evening, I used in-room dining and had grilled vegetables, soup, and focaccia. Everything was absolutely delicious and genuinely moving. If you stay here, I highly recommend trying in-room dining.This time I booked a Plan with breakfast included, so I enjoyed breakfast at the restaurant on the first floor. There were three options to choose from, and I felt it’s a menu loved by guests of all ages.I traveled here from Tohoku, and it took quite a bit of time and money—but this was an exceptional Hotel that still made me think, “I want to stay here anyway!”Thank you very much for taking such great care of me during my stay.
