SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is ideally located, just outside Pontocho Alley and within easy reach of shopping, restaurants and Nishiki Market. It is modern, with spacious, comfortable rooms – a welcome change from the smaller rooms we experienced in Tokyo. Breakfast was excellent, offering a wide selection of both Japanese and Western options. Kyoto Station is around 15 minutes away by metro or a short taxi ride. Overall, a great base for exploring Kyoto!"
