10/10 Excellent
"Had a wonderful few days in Kyoto, hotel is good. Really close to the station which is ideal. We upgraded to an executive room for not a lot of extra money, but then had breakfast, a drink at the bar everyday, and access to the swimming pool included. Very good value. I would stay here again."
