“A fantastic stay at Rinn Sanjo Takakura! The room was spacious and nicely decorated, with comfortable beds and pillows. The bathroom was spotless, and we loved the tatami sitting area. The location was perfect for exploring as a tourist, with attractions within walking distance. Staff were friendly and even held our luggage before check-in. The first-floor laundry room was a useful extra. Highly recommend this hotel for a Kyoto stay.”
