Rooms are very clean, staff is very nice, breakfast buffet was good. The only thing is the location, it was too far from everything we wanted to do.

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo
So handy for getting to transport, good food options and close to Nishiki market. Comfortable twin room where I slept well, being 6ft 5 inches I was concerned the bed may not be big enough, but it certainly was. Great AC too.
