"My wife, our 1-year-8-month-old, and I stayed at Tokyu Stay Kyoto from October 4th to 6th. I had heard great things about this hotel, and they absolutely lived up to the reputation. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area, even giving us a great ramen recommendation. We also enjoyed the sake offered in the lobby, we’re not usually sake drinkers, so it was fun to try something new and find one we really liked. We’ll definitely stay here again when we return to Kyoto. Thank...
