“Spacious Kyoto Station-adjacent comfort”

The Thousand Kyoto is praised for a spot right next to Kyoto Station — a minute's walk to Lawson and 7-Eleven, taxi rank beside it — plus a beautiful lobby, large clean comfortable rooms and a relaxing spa. Breakfast comes in both Western and Japanese styles, both well regarded. Sustainability-minded touches mean amenities like toothbrushes must be requested via the iPad or reception. Notes of caution: rooms look onto side streets so views are limited, and one guest found the design less striking than guests imagined it.
