I love Hotel Kuu. It's a 10 minute walk from Kyoto Station, a transportation hub for both the city and beyond. The staff is super friendly. The rooms are comfortable and there is a public bath on the property, which is a real plus as far as I'm concerned.

Loved the staff. Breakfast was the best I have ever had anywhere the very best. Servers and cooks worked very hard at making everything perfect. Front desk staff was more than helpful with every little need.. Small rooms but worth it. Would definitely stay here again. Great location. My husband loved the hot tubs.
