"We had an exceptional experience at the Garrya Nijo Castle hotel. The team at the front desk as well as the team in the on-site restaurant went over and above at every opportunity to ensure we were well served. The location is convenient to public transit, and it’s proximity to the core of Kyoto meant we were only a 10 to 20 minute transit ride from almost anything we wanted to do or see in Kyoto."
