Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA
The room is very spacious in Japanese standard. The breakfast was excellent. The location is not the best because everything’s closer to the north gate instead of South Gate.

Sakura Terrace The Gallery
They only gave us one flat pillow on the first day and we had to call the front desk for more pillows and they gave proper ones. The first pillows were a bit ridiculously flat.
