We loved our stay at the Rakuro hotel in Kyoto. It is a beautiful space with lovely rooms and peaceful communal spaces. The lounge is a lovely place to sit for a while after a busy day in Kyoto. The staff is kind and helpful as well! We enjoyed breakfast one morning as well. While it was a bit pricey it was nice and filling.

Jack, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We LOVED Rakuro Kyoto and would come stay here again! The staff was so nice and helped me book a breakfast while I was there, and were just lovely people. The room was great, and felt slightly bigger than other Japanese hotel rooms. The amenities at this hotel were so nice, and made coming back to the hotel something we looked forward to instead of just being someplace to sleep at night. The location is great, around the corner from a subway stop, right on the main road for the busses, and next to a great park.
Lois, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had the best customer service in this place, amenities are great and the Japanese breakfast was beautiful and delicious. The only thing i didn't like was the mattress, it was uncomfortable and stained, wich was weird because everything else un the hotel looked new
