Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kyoto is a solid choice for travelers looking for comfort and convenience in downtown Kyoto. The rooms are clean, modern, and well-equipped with all the amenities you’d expect from a quality hotel. The staff is friendly, helpful, and speaks English well, which made our stay even smoother.The hotel is located near many of Kyoto's major attractions, making sightseeing incredibly easy. It’s situated in a lively part of the city with plenty of dining options nearby. However, the location is a bit of a downside if you plan to use local trains frequently—there's a bit of a walk to the nearest station, or you can take a bus to get around. Despite that, the central location and the access to buses more than make up for it, especially if you plan on exploring the city by foot.All in all, we had a pleasant stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable base to explore Kyoto!

The hotel is super well located! Great for resting a little before going out at night. The location is perfect, I walked to the main street every night for dinner and shopping. You can also go on your own to the center of Gion. The staff are extremely friendly and the hotel is super clean and organized.

Regulinchi. Kyoto is expensive, but for the same price or better breakfast, or better location without breakfast.The breakfast is not very good, it is not because it is strange (I have lived in China for years, nothing can scare me), it is because it is not rich or unappetizing.The location is not bad, there is a metro/bus nearby to get around.But in general, average. I would use the same money for a place with a worse location but a great breakfast, or one with a better location without breakfast. This is not worth it.
