Hotel Elcient Kyoto, 13 Higashikujo Higashisannocho, Minami Ward, Kyoto, 601-8004, Japan
I booked well over half a year in advance and the price wasn’t too bad for a week’s stay. The location makes it easy for any tired travelers and the water is drinkable. The solo room is one of the bigger rooms I have resided in. Though I did not try any of the services such as the public bath or the diner. My only complaint would be that you can visibly see the wear and tear in the room and there was hair left over from the previous guest that was not cleaned when I entered my room. The rooms do show their age and there is quite a gap between the bathroom area and the floor of the room so please be mindful at night or in the morning. It is a shame we cannot fully control the Air conditioning in the room too.
Lovely hotel except double beds are against the wall. This is not good if your partner needs to get up at night and needs to crawl to the bottom of the bed and back. Breakfast buffet offers quite an assortment of food.
