Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo
Cleaning staff were excellent. The location is nice as it’s close to Aeon Mall but at the far end of the station which took longer walking times to other areas. Room size that we reserved was good however the hotel could use an updated look on the exterior.

THE BLOSSOM KYOTO
The hotel was fine-room was small but clean. Staff was accommodating but not super helpful. The restaurant was ok but very booked up at night-not allowing us to dine there without reservation
