Best Japanese breakfast experience and location
We stayed here during our Kyoto trip and it was one of the nicest hotels I have stayed at. The room was a good size for the two of us with plenty of floor space for us to open our suitcases. I’m saying this based on the fact that a lot of hotels in Japan have tiny rooms. The bathroom/shower system took a little getting used to but it was fine.
My favourite part of the stay was the breakfast! Incredible and such a huge variety. I’m limited to having seafood and vegetarian abroad when there is no halal meat so I was super pleased to see so many Japanese breakfast dishes that were seafood and vegetarian. All so well made. It was the best breakfast out of the 3 hotels I stayed at in Japan. I loved how traditional and Japanese the entire breakfast was. So if you’re looking for continental food, this won’t be for you but you’ll have missed out on the culture and experiencing what a Japanese breakfast must be like. The fact that so many native Japanese people stayed at this hotel, tells you that it must be good.
The rooms were clean and beds made daily. There’s good WiFi and the location is the best! You are directly opposite Yamashina station which is one stop from Kyoto station using the JR rail or suica card. It was convenient to make day trip to Osaka and go literally everywhere. I’d highly recommend to anyone and I’ll happily stay here again. The neighbouring area had good restaurants for sushi.
The staff here were super friendly, smiley and respectful. Thank you!
