Oriental Hotel Kyoto Rokujo

Oriental Hotel Kyoto Rokujo

10/10 Excellent
"I really loved the hotel, the interior is very well decorated and planned out. I stayed in a Japanese style room, everything was clean. Couple things I wished were different was I wished the tv slanted a little so you could watch from your bed and I also wish a vanity are as well, not dealbreakers at all though. The staff were very sweet and helpful throughout my whole stay. The breakfast food options were also very good and not typical hotel’s breakfast food, the food tasted fresh and there were many different cuisine options. I loved that breakfast was open till 10am, so it’s perfect for ppl who want to sleep in a little."
