I had such a relaxing stay! I was so impressed by all the amenities and my room was so comfortable. The common room is very inviting and I loved how there was always tea available. Big plus is the onsen bath and clean and spacious shower room! Really enjoyed my stay and definitely will be back.

Sakura Terrace
I honestly could not have picked a better hotel. It was right outside of the subway station, which came in clutch when I wanted to travel to downtown Kyoto. The welcome drink was also very nice and $50 a night in March. It was a great deal.
