18/10 Exceptional! (1,050 reviews)
Our family of 5 loved our stay. We loved the Japanese styled room. Hotel was the perfect location if you are going to universal studios. It is only a short walk to the front of the park and an amazing plethora of restaurants in city walk to choose from. It was clean and the amenities were endless. The breakfast was very good. Nice balance of Japanese and western options. Our kids loved it. Staff were very helpful on check out and assisting us in getting to next location.

My wife and I traveled to Kyoto as part of our first trip to Japan and we both agreed, without a doubt Villa Sanjo Muromachi was a - of not the - highlight of our trip. A beautiful boutique hotel with spacious rooms, beautifully decored that make you feel right at home in the heart of historic and charming Kyoto. We opted to have breakfast served to our room and specifically the Japanese version which we did not regret. The service is top notch and especially the bartender. First rate cocktails 😉 Thank you!
