Kyoto Brighton Hotel

Kyoto Brighton Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"One of the best hotels that i stayed and especially its staff and services, a truely 5-star hotel. The room is very large and clean. The breakfast both the Japanese style and western style restaurants were excellent, both the food quality and services. The shuttle bus to from the subway station is great, it is running like a clock, not missing a second. The location is right next to the imperial palace and close to some top attractions in the west side of Kyoto. Highly recommended."
