Cross Hotel Kyoto
8/10 Good
"Location was good for ease of getting everywhere. The room was small but ok. TV lacked being smart to watch YouTube or cast to.
Shower was ok, except on full power in the wet room would swivel to the wall and had to be held."
"Very clean and well located. Just around the corner from train station with good eateries nearby and many sites within walking distance or a train/bus ride away. Rooms are generously sized for Japan standards (didn't feel like a closet). We enjoyed our stay and would come back again. "
"The hotel is located within walking distance of the train station.Very easy to find.It provides a very good lunch for about twenty dollars and a has easy to move around town.Very, very good location.It is traditional japanese hotel must remove their shoes.When they come in, it is really wow"
"Close to the rail station. A decent sized room spoilt by having a double bed pushed against a wall, and the quilt cover being too big ( each night the actual duvet moved to the bottom of the bed - very uncomfotable. The bed needs to be away from the wall."
"The property is extremely clean, quiet and the staff was very professional. The hotel is conveniently located in central Kyoto with Nishiki market only a few minutes walk away."
