Hotel Rubino Kyoto Horikawa, Kyoto

The hotel surprised me with its spacious rooms, much bigger than expected in Japan, and the amazing cleanliness and tidiness. The staff was friendly and helpful despite the language barrier. However, the location on a side street parallel to the main road might not be ideal. The dining experience was quite good with a nice choice of food.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were nice, especially the air conditioning unit and the auto-switch off for the TV. It stood out compared to other hotels we visited in Japan.

Being on a side street parallel to the main road, this hotel feels like a hidden gem in a great local area with easy access to bus stops and a short walk to Nijijo Castle and the imperial palace grounds.

The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful, despite any language barriers, offering assistance even in arranging bike rentals.
