Kyoto Itoya Hotel

Prós: Really great location close to everything

Contras: Pillows were hard and no microwave

Prós: Large room Central location Clean New Lots of travel books one can borrow to read

Contras: We rode our bikes from Osaka but they wouldn't let us keep the bikes in the room but they watched it on the second floor, which was fine too.

Fantastic location, chic boutique style

Prós: Kyoto stay in fashionable, stylish boutique hotel. Quaint rooms, design and attention to detail. Cafe +. terrace + welcome drink are nice touches!

Contras: slightly small rooms, but charming nevertheless.

Prós: This was a very nice hotel in the downtown Kyoto area. Nice modern rooms, very clean. They had a list of suggested restaurants. We tried three of them and they were all excellent. If we went back to ...

Contras: I wish they had a modern electronic key system. Checking a single key in and out was kind of tedious.

Prós: Very helpful staff and very spacious rooms (big for Japanese hotels!); very centrally located between metro stations and bus stops connecting to the tourist attractions.

Contras: Could be nice to be provided with drip coffees in our room (there was only green tea, which were really nice, but sometimes you just want that extra kick) like many other hotels.

Prós: Cleanliness friendly stuff
