    temple view
    onsen
    breakfast spread
    outdated couch

    Yo, waking up to the temple view every morning was unreal! The onsen after a long day out was just what I needed. Quality breakfast spread too, omelets and all. Only thing? Couch in our room was kinda tired, could use an upgrade. Otherwise, the vibe and staff were great-definitely felt at home here.

    polite staff
    overpriced breakfast
    busy road view

    The staff was impeccably polite and was always available for assistance.

    Unfortunately, the breakfast buffet was overpriced, especially for western options which were limited. The view from the temple-facing room was not worth the high price, with the busy road outside making it hard to enjoy. I was also disappointed by the overall cleanliness, as dust was noticeable in various corners of our room.

    The rooms are spotless here with comfortable beds, a View of the Temple plus a mini-fridge. The breakfast variety is gorgeous with the best yoghurt in Japan, perfectly baked croissants and also the best yoghurt, outstanding service

    Too expensive breakfast, it should be way much better.

    It was fantastic, modern and with comfortable beds. The staff were all immensely pleasant and incredibly nice. The location was marvellous and beautiful there, in Gion area. In El Pollo you could have Japanese meals.

    fine view
    traditional bath
    great breakfast
    outdated mattress
    unreliable internet

    The location near Kyoto Station made exploring so easy. I enjoyed the fine view of the temple from my room-definitely a highlight. The traditional Japanese bath was a perfect way to unwind after a long day. I appreciated the breakfast with its mix of local Japanese dishes and some satisfying Western options. The internet connection was pretty unreliable. I also found the room a bit outdated, especially the mattress which was not very comfortable. Staff were friendly but could have been more helpful when I brought up some cleanliness issues. A solid stay, but some updates are needed.

    great location
    delicious breakfast
    helpful staff
    thin mattresses

    Kuu in Kyoto has a killer location near Kyoto Station and charming Higashi Hongan ji Temple. The breakfast spread's awesome, with fresh local options. Just be ready for thin mattresses if you're with kids-but they helped us out with extra ones!

    cleanliness issues

    Window designs lack clarity. AC emits an odd smell. Outdated room amenities need attention. Cleanliness issues like dust on surfaces. Comforter needs replacing due to poor condition.

    decorative entrance
    delicious breakfast
    dated amenities
    cleanliness issues
    worn bedding

    The atmosphere stands out with beautiful entrance decor and really good public baths. A highlight was the breakfast, with classic local dishes that were good. While the location is ideal for exploring the area, the room amenities felt slightly dated, and the cleanliness could use improvement in some corners. The double beds, although wide, could benefit from a refresh as they were showing signs of wear.

    excellent breakfast

    Kuu offers a great stay with its clean rooms and excellent service. The location is conveniently walkable to Kyoto Station. The breakfast selection was excellent, with a good mix of traditional Japanese dishes and local treats. The staff's attentiveness was particularly noteworthy, as they assisted with luggage transport in a timely manner, great for a smooth transition to the next destination.
