Hotel Granvia Kyoto

"Beautiful, premium location in town, shopping , trains etc, people are so so nice … like all places in Japan, hard to communicate in English"

APA Hotel Kyoto Eki Horikawadori

10/10 Excellent

"La habitación pequeña pero funcional , equipada con secadora de cabello , accesorios de limpieza shampoo, acondicionador, jabón cara y cuerpo. Agua potable para beber , refrigerador pequeño. Cómodo y excelente ubicación para caminar a la estación de Kioto! Desayuno con costo adicional pero muy sabroso y variado! Recomendable!"

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"Overall it's a very nice and clean hotel. It is also quite spacious in comparison with other Japanese brand hotels, the beds are big as well. The only down side is the breakfast, not much selection as I was hoping for some Japanese style breakfast. The ones they offer is not bad but since it's a Japanese brand hotel, I would've love to have some Japanese style breakfast included."
