Summary

I had a nice stay at the “Kyoto Century Hotel.” The hotel is not new as it is a classic and historic hotel, but the hotel was kept very clean and I was able to stay comfortably. The most recommended space is the atrium in the lobby on the 2nd floor. With a profound and nostalgic atmosphere, the large stand light, which is a symbol of the hotel, is overwhelming and makes you want to take pictures. I think it’s a spot worth taking a look at when you visit Kyoto. Why not stay at a long-established hotel in a convenient location in front of Kyoto Station?
