We LOVED Rakuro Kyoto and would come stay here again! The staff was so nice and helped me book a breakfast while I was there, and were just lovely people. The room was great, and felt slightly bigger than other Japanese hotel rooms. The amenities at this hotel were so nice, and made coming back to the hotel something we looked forward to instead of just being someplace to sleep at night. The location is great, around the corner from a subway stop, right on the main road for the busses, and next to a great park.

Absolutely incredible stay. The room was beautiful, the staff was kind and accommodating, the facilities were unreal, and two major sightseeing destinations and a train stop were within walking distance. Highly recommend; we splurged for our honeymoon but are now unlikely to stay anywhere else.
