Highly recommended!
Very nice atmosphere, clean rooms and a very short walk from Kyoto station. Quiet location but close to Gojo metro station. Also the hotel has public onsen which was superb and free for hotel guests. Reception staff was helpful and always greeted on entry and exit. Highly recommended!

I love Hotel Kuu. It's a 10 minute walk from Kyoto Station, a transportation hub for both the city and beyond. The staff is super friendly. The rooms are comfortable and there is a public bath on the property, which is a real plus as far as I'm concerned.

Loved the staff. Breakfast was the best I have ever had anywhere the very best. Servers and cooks worked very hard at making everything perfect. Front desk staff was more than helpful with every little need.. Small rooms but worth it. Would definitely stay here again. Great location. My husband loved the hot tubs.
