Loved staying here. Great property, beautiful room, and very very helpful staff. A little inconvenient for wheelchair users needing to get in and out since their main entrance’s ramp is quiet narrow (couldn’t fit my Whill C2 on it even just not driving it, only rolling it down). That’s the only reason I’m not giving it 5/5 completely. Also the wooden tub is so so nice.

This hotel is excellent. They offer complimentary drinks (although I would prefer sweeter wine) the options are great. I like the fact that it is within walking distance from Kyoto Station so it made it very convenient for food and shops. The staffs are friendly and offered us routes and directions. A friend of ours ask where to go to find cherry blossom during non peak season and the staff delivered. We would come back to this hotel when we visit Kyoto again.

Hotel Kanra was the best hotel of our stay in Japan. I cannot recommend enough. The rooms are large, very clean and quiet, the bathroom and bathtub are both great. The location is excellent (only a few blocks away from the station and next to a beautiful local monument) and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I wish every hotel could be as nice as this one. The breakfast has a lot of western and Japanese options so it’s easy to try new foods while getting a good meal. The lounge in the front is also a nice retreat after a long day of exploring Kyoto.
