Hotel Okura Kyoto

Hotel Okura Kyoto

10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel, centrally located on the Tozai subway line and next to Kyoto City Hall. Good breakfast buffet on the top floor overlooking the Kamo river and Higashiyama hills. We stayed on the 10th floor with a similar great view towards the Higashiyama hills. Although it's an older property, everything was in good shape and fully functional. Great air conditioning. We were there for some intense site seeing and appreciated staying here. We ate at the Café Lec Court in the lobby a few times when we were too tired to venture out for dinner. Food was good and the desserts were fun. Looking forward to our next stay there. For serious site seeing, I highly recommend this property. Travelers looking for a traditional ryokan or resort experience should look elsewhere."
