Hotel Citadines Karasuma-Gojo Kyoto (Kyoto, Japan)

The staff members are trained well enough to inquire after the needs of the guests. They will carry your baggage to your room and will always be available whenever you need their assistance.

The concierge ensures that all the rooms are spick and span every single day. By the time you wake up, you will find the mess you left behind is cleaned up. The cleaners usually turn up whenever you call for them.

There are several shrines in the vicinity that you can visit every day. There are also a couple of well-known restaurants nearby for sumptuous dining, just in case you get bored with the food at the hotel.

The hotel is situated quite far away from the city centre. It will take you about half an hour to walk there (and more than five minutes to drive there). As an alternative, you can board the bus at the Gojo station, just a three-minute walk away.

There are hardly any choices available at breakfast. The ones available aren't tasty, either. Thankfully, the room comes equipped with a kitchenette, and you can prepare your favourite fare in the mornings.

The washing machine has to be shared amongst the guests, and you will find quite a long queue during peak hours. If you don't like to wait in line, you might want to wash your clothing in the peak hours.
