Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is wonderful! It’s located in a perfect area of Kyoto near the market, many restaurants, bars, shops and more are everywhere! The staff are so helpful and friendly at check in and throughout your stay. If you can, add the lounge to your stay as it’s a great place to relax after a day out and about with food and coffee or beer and wine, etc. The rooms are a good size, clean and comfortable. I will absolutely be staying here again next time I’m in Kyoto! On a side note make sure if you taxi/uber in that you go into the market area to find the entrance"
