During our stay at the Muso Hotel, we were amazed by the extraordinary welcome. The kindness and availability of the staff exceeded all our expectations, without forgetting the impeccable cleanliness of the rooms and infrastructure. The rooms are spacious by Japanese standards, providing additional comfort. The location is ideal, with a 7-Eleven right next to the hotel, making our stay even more convenient. Special mention to the manager, always attentive and providing excellent advice. We highly recommend this establishment.

This is quite possibly the best stay we have ever had at a hotel!Do not let the three star rating of the hotel fool you. Both the service and rooms are 5 star worthy.Ryo the manager is super service minded and helped us with both recommendations on restaurants in the area, as well as restaurant reservations and taxi services. He is also pretty much fluent in English which is rather uncommon in Japan.Breakfast was delivered to the room every day at the time of our choosing, fridge was refilled daily with a large selection of drinks (beer, sake, sparkling wine, bourbon, soft drinks and more).The room in itself was fantastic, we stayed in a suite/family room, where the kids slept in their own area on tatami mats with mattresses which they enjoyed, while we slept in a huge double bed. The room had a nice bar/kitchen area, large tv, comfortable sofa. Separate toilet and bathroom. Everything is very clean and feels luxurious, especially the bathroom which had both shower and a bubble bath, double vanity, etc. Everything you might need is available in the bathroom, including hairbrushes, toothbrushes, etc.I can't recommend this hotel enough. If we ever go back to Kyoto we will most certainly return here.Thank you Ryo for a fantastic reception and stay!
