Our overall 4 night stay in Kyoto at the Grand Monday was outstanding! From the Management team and to some of the staff (Vanesa, Muang, Thiri, etc.) and amenities were all amazing! The hotel was very modern and very clean! Would definitely come back and stay there again. Thank you for making our stay very memorable 🙏

We loved this hotel so much that we stayed two extra nights!! I can’t say enough good things about Hotel Seiryu in Kyoto. The property is amazing…a tranquil escape from the tourist-ridden streets. You turn into the property and immediately enter paradise. I will definitely return to this hotel in the future.
