Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER features a fitness centre, garden, a terrace and restaurant in Kyoto. This 5-star hotel offers a 24-hour front desk, a concierge service and free WiFi. The property is 600 metres from Kyoto International Manga Museum, and within 1.1 km of the city centre. The hotel, the staff and the location were all 10/10 We booked it at a great price point and were super happy with the choice. The hotel is located in a wonderful area with a lot of shops, not so far away from the most crowded locations. The room was very spacious, comfortable and came with a washing machine. It was cleaned daily and we really enjoyed. We didn't try the breakkie, so I cannot comment on that. Would repeat stay and recommend it.

Attractively situated in Kyoto, The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Kyoto features air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi and a restaurant. This 5-star hotel offers a bar. The property is non-smoking and is situated 200 metres from Kyoto International Manga Museum. We had the western-style breakfast some days and that was perfectly pleasant with a range of different food items. On our last day we had the Japanese breakfast which was fantastically interesting and delicious. Very memorable thank you! The lounge experience - afternoon rea and pre-dinner cocktails was a wonderful experience. The snack items were delicious and the whole lounge experience was exceptional. Our room was fabulous. Roomy and very comfortable. Immaculate. For us train travelers the location was excellent. There is a train stop very close by.
