THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

8/10 Good
"Overall it was a pretty experience, despite a crazy hot weather in summer. If not the weather you could be able to walk to pretty much most of the attractions in town. Very well kept newer hotel. Good size rooms very well equipped for a comfortable stay. Very nice bathroom. Coffee/tea area features very nice as well! Bedding is nice. 3 main Cons: not a good sound insulation: it is pretty noisy, if you are a light sleeper like me, there is a road and fire station nearby. The receptionist was nice to move us to the upper floor after our first night. Which helped a little. Onsen was not that great, pretty small and water was just always too hot to be able to properly enjoy it. Around 40C. And the main reason why I may not stay here again was actually the breakfast. I have been probably at over a dozen hotels in Japan and this hotel’s breakfast section was the worst one, unfortunately! Very poor selection. I felt like I was back in USA or something .. On a good side, I was happy I didn’t have breakfast included in the stay which I usually like to do, because it’s sometimes hard to find anything open before 11am and it’s just very convenient to have a buffet breakfast at the hotel, which is pretty amazing usually."
