My stay at Hotel Kanra Kyoto was a wonderful experience, filled with Japanese charm and modern conveniences. The staff went above and beyond, particularly Mr. Satoshi Ito, who provided excellent recommendations. The only downside was that the breakfast, although fantastic, tended to repeat after a few days.

I had a lovely stay at Hotel Kanra Kyoto, appreciating the beautiful Japanese-style decor and thoughtful amenities, though I encountered some noise issues at night. While the service was generally excellent and the food options impressive, the room was a bit messy due to the housekeeping policy, which might be a downside for some. Overall, it's a great spot for a peaceful experience near the train station.

My stay at Hotel Kanra Kyoto was a mix of luxury and comfort, but marred by a major issue with condensation in the room. The hotel's design beautifully combines modern amenities with traditional Japanese style, and the staff was very helpful throughout my stay. However, the disturbing water drips from the vent made my last night quite uncomfortable.
