Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was really nice and the rooms were nice and big. Extremely convenient as the train station is directly across the hotel and also 3 minutes from the Avanti building where most tour groups meet up. The Aeon mall is right next door and lots of food choices and a 24 hour restaurant close by. Try coffee in the room was not very good but they allowed me free coffee from the buffet which I thought was very nice of them! I had my luggage delivered here from Tokyo and it came on time. All the staff was really nice. No laundry rooms, the only downside but still a beautiful hotel. Would recommend!"
