"Beautiful property, captures the aesthestic"

Hyatt Place Kyoto

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and comfortable. However the room was fairly small. The AC worked well and was quiet. The Nespresso was a nice touch but a pot of drip coffee works just fine for me. Just pour and go in seconds. There was always a line up in the morning because 1 of the 2 Nespresso machines was down. The adjacent bakery is amazing. Laundry was handy particularly with the live status app. Subway station is right below. We enjoyed our stay and would come back again."
