If you are not planning to take a day trip, but are planning to stay in Kyoto and have fun, Okura is the ideal five-star hotel - this is first of all determined by its unique geographical location next to the city hall: the underground passage seamlessly connects to the municipal subway and is only one stop away from the transfer station of the Cross Subway Line. It is absolutely centrally located - it is relatively convenient to go to any scenic spot in the city. It is also walking distance from the most lively commercial area. Considering the convenience store that comes with the city hall subway station and the high-quality catering/bakery in the basement of the hotel property, tourists can completely avoid eating in the hotel restaurant.
Compared with its competitors that opened in the past decade, Okura is a bit old, but it is well maintained. The bedding is comfortable and the attitude and quality of the service staff are excellent. Of course, these are the basic elements of a five-star hotel. So what I want to say most is its excellent value for money, which is very important for tourists who are going to stay here for a few days or longer. Just to give a small example, the price of laundry here is much cheaper than that of domestic hotels.
If you have breakfast at the hotel, I recommend the Western buffet restaurant on the 17th floor. Not only because it can overlook the panoramic view of Higashiyama, but also because its food quality and variety selection are very ideal. The price of its breakfast is less than half of that of a nearby hotel, but the experience is much better.
