Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

10/10 Excellent
"This place was great - amazing value. Great location, breakfast buffet, staff. One thing that would be VERY useful is if they provided a pillow-topper or something similar and left it in the closet to use. Japanese mattresses are HARD (a small step up from sleeping on the floor)."
