9/10 Wonderful! (1,018 reviews)
It is in the newer section of Kyoto so there are plenty of shopping opportunities. It takes a little twisting around in different trains, but it is not that far from the main Kyoto station. They’re also a lot of food available on the side streets. It feels a lot more open than the older section of Kyoto so we enjoyed that spacious feeling- although modern architecture isn’t our thing. it’s a big hotel, lots of tourists but really well run. The staff was super kind and helped us print out our ballots and mail them very much appreciated.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (495 reviews)
We enjoyed our stay at Monday. The room was large in comparison to other hotels in Japan. We enjoyed the laundry machine and kitchen… and the food mart was located conveniently next door. The only complaints we had were we found the bed uncomfortable and the room smelled of curry when we arrived. We would stay here again regardless of those minor inconveniences.

9.8/10 Exceptional! (127 reviews)
Although the room was a bit of a squeeze for five people, we could all sleep comfortably. The staff were excellent and very easy to talk to. The room, was beautifully decorated and had an amazing rain shower. Located within a five minute walk of a train station, 7-11, restaurants and a Maccies. Also very close by train to the main tourist attractions. I would highly recommend this hotel.
