"Great host and communication. The house is cozy and it had everything we needed. The air conditioning was great in the Japanese heatwave.

Top Otani Sobyo Hotel Reviews

Kyoto Granbell Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location, quiet yet close to anything you might need. Comfortable bed and good water pressure in the shower. Room is a bit tight but we weren’t in the room much anyway. A luggage rack would be nice though I’m not sure if there would be enough room. Laundry was a great perk! Staff is top notch as they are throughout most of Japan."
