Ace Hotel Kyoto

Ace Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent
"Just finished a 5 night stay at the Ace Hotel in Kyoto, absolutely beautiful hotel with fantastic staff all round. Front desk staff couldn’t help enough, and the breakfast….one of the best I’ve ever had in a hotel, and I’ve had too many over the years. Great location as only a 2 min walk to the nearest metro station."
