“Urban Hotel Kyoto Shijo Premium strikes me as a smart choice, balancing modern amenities with a great location for exploring the city. The on-site spa and fitness area are welcome additions, though a fee applies for the gym and tattoo restrictions in the onsen might disappoint some. It's a fine hotel that encourages you to get out and discover Kyoto.”
