Cross Hotel Kyoto
10/10 Excellent
"Very nice property in a convenient location. It is, however, near many nightclubs and the parties went on until 6 AM all four nights of our stay. While the noise did not keep us up (we were on the 6th floor), it was certainly noticeable. But otherwise a great place to stay and that didn’t really detract from our visit."
"Rooms were clean. Breakfast was excellent. We have 2 choices. The buffet at Le Temp or the japanese restaurant on M3. My son tried the japanese style BF set and said its delicious. If we are going back in Kyoto. I will choose the same hotel.

"Rooms were very nice. I especially enjoyed the size of room 611. So spacious! The free refreshment room near the lobby is a nice touch. Although I did not have access on my last three days. Staff is very courteous, particularly the front door staff. 18日間お世話になりました。有り難うございました。"
