SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely stay at this hotel, beautiful room with a great view, nice public bath in the basement, very helpful and friendly staff. Only negative is that there is only 1 washing machine available to males (2 for females) but as there were no females in our group there was a long way to use the washing machine. Would definitely stay again."

"Loved the property, the location, and the corner rooms were very spacious. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great combination of good property, location, and price. The check-in is by machine, but if you need help, there is always someone to help you with the check-in. The amenities as toothbrush, combs etc; they have it on the 1st floor. From Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto this wone the best hotels we stayed."
