"My second stay at Kyoto Brighton. Love the atrium hall and the comfortable cafeteria which I use very often for lunch and teatime. The manner of each staff is perfect! The room is very clean and comfortable, The Japanese style breakfast has various tasty plates. Some plates were a little bit salty, but the kombu tea eye-opner was equisite!
