Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"The room was a good size for Japan. We really liked the washroom set up..the fact that the toilet was in a separate room and there was a Japanese style washing area. It was great to have a sliding door to separate the two spaces. Storage was ample. The location was great for shopping and the hotel was quiet. We liked the lounge area in the other part with free coffee and soft drinks. The washing machines were greatly appreciated. Although they had check in machines there was always staff at the front desk to help with inquiries. Would definitely stay here again. Good value!! I’m"

"We had a fantastic stay! The room was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable, with an excellent shower and bathroom and great amenities. The staff were incredibly helpful, warm, and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The central location is a huge plus, with famous markets, beautiful temples, and vibrant nightlife all close by.
