    polite staff
    overpriced breakfast
    busy road view

    The staff was impeccably polite and was always available for assistance.

    Unfortunately, the breakfast buffet was overpriced, especially for western options which were limited. Additionally, the view from the temple-facing room was not worth the high price, with the busy road outside making it hard to enjoy. I was also disappointed by the overall cleanliness, as dust was noticeable in various corners of our room.

    onsen
    breakfast spread
    outdated couch

    10/10

    Yo, waking up to the temple view every morning was unreal! The onsen after a long day out was just what I needed. Quality breakfast spread too, omelets and all. Only thing? Couch in our room was kinda tired, could use an upgrade. Otherwise, the vibe and staff were top-notch—definitely felt at home here.

    stunning view
    traditional bath
    great breakfast
    outdated mattress
    unreliable internet

    The location near Kyoto Station made exploring so easy. I enjoyed the stunning view of the temple from my room—definitely a highlight. The traditional Japanese bath was a perfect way to unwind after a long day. I appreciated the breakfast with its mix of local Japanese dishes and some satisfying Western options. However, the internet connection was pretty unreliable. I also found the room a bit outdated, especially the mattress which was not very comfortable. Staff were friendly but could have been more helpful when I brought up some cleanliness issues. Overall, a solid stay, but some updates are needed.

    great location
    delicious breakfast
    helpful staff
    thin mattresses

    Kuu in Kyoto has a killer location near Kyoto Station and charming Higashi Hongan ji Temple. The breakfast spread's awesome, with fresh local options. Just be ready for thin mattresses if you're with kids-but they helped us out with extra ones!

    decorative entrance
    delicious breakfast
    dated amenities
    cleanliness issues
    worn bedding

    The atmosphere stands out with beautiful entrance decor and exceptional public baths. A highlight was the breakfast, featuring classic local dishes that were simply delightful. However, while the location is ideal for exploring the area, the room amenities felt slightly dated, and the cleanliness could use improvement in some corners. Additionally, the double beds, although wide, could benefit from a refresh as they were showing signs of wear.
