Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo
Very clean room, they upgraded us for free so we can have three beds instead of two. They gave combs, toothbrush n tooth paste, shsvers, and slippers. The water pressure was perfect. It’s right next to the Kyoto station where you can shop and eat. It was easy check in and out, I didn’t have to speak ...
