Nijo Castle
Nice hot spring, very clean rooms (even if a bit on small size and not the best view), but overall very well designed hotel with a lovely rock garden at the front. Would be nice if there was a hotel gym but overall it was a great stay that was reasonably priced.

sequence KYOTO GOJO
4.4/5132 Reviews
Kawaramachi
”Sequence KYOTO GOJO” is a convenient location within 3 minutes walk from Gojo Station and walking distance to Kawaramachi. The hotel was stylish and fashionable, and the rooms were arranged in monotony. 2 The variety of large baths was able to enjoy and refresh both daily. The rock bath and steam sauna were comfortable and the non-life was tasted with a comfortable BGM. It is good to check in at 17 o'clock but out at 14 o'clock, and you can enjoy hotel life without worrying about time. In the restaurant ”THE TASTE” on the 1 floor, guests can eat free until 7:00 ~ 14:00 (L.O. 13:30). It was available for breakfast and lunch and was good value for money. Four kinds of sandwiches, salads, soft creams, made from Miyama milk, and homemade lemonade are ordered with QR code in the seat. I liked the sandwich, soft cream and lemonade. Half buffet has few types, but none of them were very delicious, such as drink soup cake fruit. It was very good, so I would like to stay with breakfast next time.

The hotel has a central location, with good food and different hairdryers in the surrounding area. The room was very small and was very small and was very small and was very small and very small and very small and very small and very small and very small. The hotel was very comfortable and was very comfortable and very comfortable. The toys were available in the lobby, supposedly for ecological reasons but probably for lack of space. The breakfast was basically eastern style, although, unlike other hotels, it also offered a buffet option, with some fibers, croissants, au chocolate bread and dips to swallow. The staff were right in their treatment. I emphasise the friendliness and efficiency of the staff of the reception room. In the same room, the restaurant works, which closes at 20.30. No room service.
