Jack, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We LOVED Rakuro Kyoto and would come stay here again! The staff was so nice and helped me book a breakfast while I was there, and were just lovely people. The room was great, and felt slightly bigger than other Japanese hotel rooms. The amenities at this hotel were so nice, and made coming back to the hotel something we looked forward to instead of just being someplace to sleep at night. The location is great, around the corner from a subway stop, right on the main road for the busses, and next to a great park.
Lois, 3-night trip

Lovely Stay!

I loved our stay in Kyoto. This hotel is close to two bus stops and a subway stop. The restaurant downstairs is also lovely. The laundry on-site is also a huge win. The only thing that we didn’t enjoy was the lack of wifi. The service was spotty at best.
