Hotel Sanoya — Hotel in Kyoto

After comforting my exhausted soul and physical strength in Osaka in Kyoto, I set off for Korea. Since the accommodation was close to Kyoto Station, just across the street, there was no strain on my tired legs, and a soak in the large public bath after dinner relieved some of my fatigue. In particular, the Korean staff was very kind and helped me make reservations for the limousine bus to Kansai Airport, so I arrived at the airport comfortably. I wasted so much energy in Osaka that I couldn't even look around Kyoto, so I want to come back to Kyoto again, but I'll book this hotel then too. The tatami room was nice, the bed was comfortable, the accommodation was clean, and all the other Japanese staff were friendly. ^^ The kids also said they enjoyed the tatami room experience and the yukata, and they enjoyed the free beer and rested comfortably before leaving. The breakfast was also delicious. .^^Because I had to leave early in the morning, I couldn't even say thank you to the Korean staff. I don't know if you'll see the review, but thank...

Location was great - within 5 minutes walk of Kyoto station.||- Buffet breakfast was amazing - they had many Japanese and international dishes for you to choose from. Food was fresh as well. I especially liked the fruit selection (they had melons, grapes, oranges, pineapples...) and mochi!||- Kaiseki dinner was fantastic as well - sashimi was so smooth and melted in your mouth. Definitely worth a try if you're staying here. Book it in advance though! You can select the kind of kaiseki meal you want (three different types, if I recall correctly). ||- Public bath was decent - it was not crowded at all when we were there; most of the time we were the only ones using the pool. ||- Staff were friendly and helpful - they allowed us to keep our luggages prior to check-in, and even after we checked-out, as we had some time to kill before we checked-in to our next accommodation.||||Thank you for the great stay...

Excelent location, 5 minutes from JR Kyoto Station||Tipical japanese hotel, with oriental and big rooms,tatami floors, and beds with futon, table with chairs on the tatami floor in the main room, and table with 2 chairs in a separate and private room ||We reserved a kaiseki meal (which is basicaly a traditional meal with the most fresh and fine ingredients of the day, carefully prepared, in a japanese ritual), to celebrate the birthday of my son. It was prepared and served in a separate and private room just for us , really an amazing show!!!||Typical breakfast, small delicious japanese dishes, but if someone is looking for a western breakfust there will be no choices, because there's only japanese food, BUT if a person decide to be in a ryokan, it's because the person wants to have/live a unique experience, dream of a real...
