“Converted schoolhouse serenity by Kiyomizu”
The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu occupies a converted elementary school near the Kiyomizu lanes, and guests love the quiet, atmospheric setting for dusk and dawn walks. Rooms are spacious, clean and great; the location is excellent; and service is called fantastic and thoughtful. The guest lounge is a highlight — free drinks, snacks and activities including an encounter with maiko performers — while the rooftop bar draws interest. The single noted disappointment: the bar was not operating during one stay. Otherwise reviews are uniformly warm.
