Top Shimokawaracho Hotel Reviews

Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"Petite chambre pour 3, mais tout le reste était parfait. L'hôtel est près de la gare si vous avez beaucoup de déplacement à faire. Le déjeuner est très bon avec plusieurs choix ! Ils offrent des après-midi avec café, gâteaux, et crème glacée. Le soir, c'est des apéros avec bière, vin et saké. Ils offrent également des petites activités en après-midi genre dessins, décorations, etc. Je recommande l'hôtel !"
