Summary
I had a nice stay at the “Village Kyoto.” It was a nice hotel with a modern Japanese style chic atmosphere and was close to the station and convenient for transportation and dining. Above all, the spacious rooms with tatami-mats were very comfortable to spend time in. I also enjoyed having breakfast in my room. It was overall very relaxing. I recommend staying at this hotel on your trip to Kyoto.
