Hotel Legasta Kyoto Higashiyama Sanjo

I love the tidiness and cleanesss. The reception is quick and kind enough. The location is close enough to the city center, yet less crazy. Walking to Heian Shrine was perfect!!! I recommend this location to all.

This was our fifth hotel stay in Japan and the most expensive. It was also the most disappointing. Our room (despite what other reviews say) was small and we had to move because of a very strong smell in our shower. The breakfast counter was dark and unfriendly - any utensils have to be booked out. A note of where to buy supplies would have been really helpful - Fresco Supermarket and Le Bac au Sable were great. There were no other amenities such as a washing machine and generally we felt let down. The staff were friendly but not helpful although we were there 5 nights. Cannot recommend.

It was a lovely room in a quiet lovely little hotel.

super happy with the service and the room there. room is more spacious than a 'Japanese standard'- the staffs are also very kind. everything is just simple but on point, good value for such a room like that in Kyoto.

The location is not too far from Sanjo train station. We had purchased the JR pass before arriving in Japan. Sanjo station was not on the JR line so we had to buy tickets to use the trains from there. We walked from the hotel to various sightseeing destinations. The room was lovely and was so clean. We loved the reception ladies who were so kind and helpful. We left our bags with reception upon checking out so we could make the most of the sightseeing around the hotel. The hotel offers tea and coffee at the reception area which was really nice. The only issue we found with the room was that once all the lights were off there was a light switch in the middle of the headboard that stayed on. We only stayed here for one night but we would definitely come back despite the lighting issue (placed a pillow on top of it).
