THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is perfectly located in the Akasaka district, less than a 10-minute walk from the nearest subway station, making it easy to access the main areas and tourist attractions across Tokyo. The staff were incredibly lovely and welcoming throughout our entire stay.

Minn Gion

10/10 Excellent

"This place is great! Very spacious, had fridge, microwave, kitchen utensils … we got a room with a separates bedroom that had washer machine which was so convenient. Bathtub was also great. Great option for those who want more space and don’t care about having a person at the front desk all the time. Only down site is that as they don’t have staff at front desk they do not receive luggage from another property. But if you want send it out, there is a family mart right next to it that does the job. Highly recommend this place though."
