We had the most amazing time staying at Rakuro where the staff has been so welcoming, friendly and supportive! Lovely spacious room with great amenities, the en suite bathroom feels like a miniature sentō and spa! Great connections to public transport but you can also easily reach the city centre by a short walk. Couldn’t recommend staying at the hotel more!

This is a nice, small hotel in a great location. It is clean and quiet. The staff is very helpful, and staff members speak English fluently. For breakfast we had 3 sandwiches to choose from, served with a soup, small salads, fruit, and beverages. Amenities include in-house coin washer/drier and a very nice guest lounge with free tea and water, an icemaker, microwave, and seating options. A subway and bus station, numerous restaurants and convenience stores, and Kyoto Gyoen National Garden (with the Imperial Palace) are in close walking distance. We had a very nice stay.
