The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo
Well located, just off the main street. The rest are all reasonably good. If I ever come back to Kyoto, I will stay here again.

THE BLOSSOM KYOTO
The staff welcomed us the minute we stepped into the lobby. Rather than standing at the reception desk, they sit with you at a table and you check-in. The onsen is nice and clean, our room was a good size, and the room amenities are replenished daily. I would stay here again.
