Hotel Vista Premio Kyoto Kawaramachi St

The hotel is very clean. They have free drinks (water, juice, coffee, tea) between 3-9pm. Great location - access to train and bus, shopping like Uniqlo, Zara, OPO, Takashimaya, market, restaurants and tax free stores.

The room was comfortable with working air conditioning. They had a sliding wall that allows you to block out the light from the windows which I really enjoyed for sleep. There was a small closet by the entrance. Bathroom and shower were fine. Great buffet style breakfast, although last call at 9:30am and they get pretty cleared out past 9am. The front desk staff were very helpful and nice. It is in a great location near restaurants and shopping, and accessible to the different temples and tourist destinations by bus and train. They do room cleaning once every 4 days which we don’t mind and bring fresh towels and take out the trash.

Location was amazing. You're steps away from the market/shopping streets but just off set enough that it feels quiet and private. The hotel, staff and breakfast were all amazing. Starbucks a block away (if you need that), check out Koé Donuts (if you're love for donuts is as strong as mine), surrounded by traditional Japanese food, shops and market. I can't say enough about this hotel and location. Everything is at your fingertips. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone.

The staff went way above the call of duty. They escorted me to get a taxi after the one which had been called originally,was delayed. They arranged bus bookings for another town when there was a problem with on- line bookings. They found obscure places from just a photo,and suggested different places to try different dietary requirements. Great position for shopping,a nice range of things for breakfast,and a huge room by japanese standards.

This was the best hotel I stayed in during my Japan trip to multiple cities! The room was larger than other hotels I stayed in, the staff were absolutely fantastic, even helping organising luggage forwarding, and the facilities were great. The best part was the location, right next to many tourist hotspots and easy access to many others. I would stay here again if I come back to Kyoto.
