Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo
The room was spacious (we got upgraded, which was a plus!) wonderful shower, and the blackout curtains were great. The beds were a little more firm than I’m used to, but overall, it was a wonderful stay!

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto
The room was beautiful, well appointed and very clean. The restaurant staff were wonderful and very attentive. My only comment would be that the front desk staff felt a little indifferent at times. All in all we really enjoyed our stay.
