Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent
"Great location. Very reasonably priced. Room was small, but we were used to the Japanese standard. I believe there are larger rooms for higher prices. A ‘double’ bed is essentially a queen, so plenty of room. Fridge, 2 free waters daily, pick your own toothbrush, lotions, tea,etc. we stayed 3 nights but wish we had stayed longer!"
