THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel
Breakfast was ok, not great. Staff were accommodating, courteous and helpful. Rooms are starting to get tired. They are fine, but not the level of a 4 star hotel.

Minn Gion
Great accommodation. Could not recommend it more highly. In quite a nice spot in Gion. Only a short walk to bustling areas and relatively quiet at night. Th e rooms are spacious enough for Japan standards. Hotel seems new and well thought out. Really enjoyed my stay. Would definitely stay here ...
