"What a gem!! We stayed for 4 days. Had to readjust our arrival and departure date at last minute due to typhoon Shanshan☹️. They even refunded our last day stay without asking as we had to leave a day earlier due to approaching typhoon.We arrived at midnight by train and the manager met us on site to welcome us and explain everything. Having a washer and dryer in one machine on site saved us! We would do a load of laundry every night and in the morning have clean clothes. Saved a lot of time...

THE BLOSSOM KYOTO
10/10 Excellent
"We had such a wonderful experience at the hotel! The staff were incredibly professional and kind, making us feel welcomed right away. Our room was not only clean but also equipped with everything we could possibly need and more. We really enjoyed the breakfast and light meals we tried a couple of times; they were quite satisfying! The lounge in the basement was a lovely touch, offering great snacks and drinks that we appreciated. Overall, we fell in love with both the hotel and Kyoto, and we can't wait to return!"

Great services, you get free shot of sake daily and unlimited matcha and coffee,loved the size of the room, was good according Japan Standards."
"The property is gorgeous and it was a pleasure to stay here! The staff is very courteous and helpful. Because it was raining, the roof top bar was closed, but we had nice cocktails downstairs at the other bar. Super helpful to have the bakery and coffee bar downstairs when you’re running short on time in the morning. The baked items were wonderful!I would absolutely recommend this to friends and family traveling to Kyoto"
