9.6/10 Exceptional! (55 reviews)
Sakura cross hotel had exceeded our expectations even before we had gotten into our rooms. The staff was very friendly had helpful, and they were kind enough to put our luggage into our room for us. Going into the room, we were all surprised at how big it was as well as how unique the architecture was. The beds were very comfy, bathroom and shower were spotless, and there was tons of room for the many bags we had with us. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Kayabacho and will definitely be staying here again in the future!
