THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel, the best one we stayed at during our three week trip. The staff were kind and extremely attentive and helpful. The hotel is conveniently located with the main shopping district about ten minutes walk from the hotel."

Hotel Emion Kyoto

8/10 Good

"The staff were friendly, the hotel was modern and clean. The AC went out for a bit but started working, the wifi was spotty in the room. We purchased the breakfast, most Japanese food, little Western choices, coffee was strong 👍. Rooms were spacious, beds soft, pillows hard. Rooms were clean. Had shopping and restaurants on 2nd floor. Had a ramp to the metro station. Hotel was central to many attractions. Would stay there again!"
