Obara Family House

Outstanding option for your stay in Kyoto. Modern, nicely-decorated hotel with a fantastic staff always smiling, saying hello and very helpful - all speaking excellent English (many foreigners). The hotel restaurant was very good - breakfast highly-recommended - but even if you don’t take the breakfast, you have very tempting options available in the ajoining bakery. The rooftop bar is a must-visit (even with the August heat) with great views, a good selection of drinks and excellent service again. The only negative point is the availability of storage space in the room - we had a triple room and there were no wardrobes so we had to be quite creative with finding places for clothes and cases. Location is very good for seeing the local sites or catching the city bus to others.

The staff and facilities at the hotel were wonderful and would definitely return with my family and recommend to others.

Hotel next door to supermarket which has all sorts on a few floors and great pet store that has exotic animals too like a mini zoo as well as cats & cute dogs that we visited everyday. The actual supermarket in basement is open late too. Easy walking distance to main shopping and food areas famous dotoburi!
