We stayed three nights at The General Kyoto Bukkoji. This is quite literally one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in! The staff was warm and welcoming and went the extra mile to offer assistance/recommendations. The package we chose included breakfast, which was so delicious and abundant! With free snacks and drinks (including espresso), we were never hungry! The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, with cozy cotton pajamas that were changed out each day. The location was also perfect, with walking distance to Nijo Castle and Nishiki market. Tons of great dining options are also close by. We hope to stay here again sometime, if we ever make it back to Kyoto! This is our number one pick!
Tasty breakfast!

Very pleasant stay. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The complimentary longe was a nice touch. The only minor issue was with the humidity level in the room and the hardness of the bed.
