Hotel Okura Kyoto Okazaki Bettei
A serene, modern, and stylish place with a wonderfully cosy atmosphere. Located in a quiet area of the city yet still easily accessible to all the main attractions. The beautiful garden and surrounding grounds are perfect for peaceful morning walks, and the elegant breakfast was a lovely way to start ...

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo
Everything was perfect until a reception staff who can’t speak simple English ask me to read about the housekeeping rules myself when I enquire. And the best part was she showed me a non English version and ask me to read myself.
