“Hiramatsu Kyoto's authentic luxury”
THE Hiramatsu Kyoto is a luxurious Kyoto hotel — an authentic Japanese feel distinct from Tokyo chains, spacious big rooms, a perfect fantastic location, delicious breakfasts (interesting Japanese sets ordered separately; English breakfast with hand-drip coffee and per-course ingredient explanations), a cozy bathtub, a beautiful karesansui landscape, immaculate second-day tidying, and kind excellent staff. One detailed complaint felt the hotel's own attitude lagged its staff — no welcome drink or room gift, rigid check-in/out times, an empty minibar, and a refused request to keep the room card (it has a chip — later handed over). Only flaw for another: too-soft beds.
