Hotel Monterey Kyoto
The spa was great! The rooms and much of the hotel need to be refurbished. The paint is worn in the elevators & on furniture. If you are getting a deal, it is an awesome place.

Breakfast dejection and quality best so far in our Japan travels. Perfect location! Room was updated and comfortable, loved the bathroom space. Overall the hotel was just a casual and relaxing vibe. We walked so many places from there.
