Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

10/10 Excellent
"Love this hotel. Close to the train/metro station. Clean, quiet, good maintanance. The only thing need to recommend guests is that they are restrict on the check-in time which is 2 pm. But you can store your luggage in the hotel for free before checking in. So you can go sightseeing. No complaints. Highly recommended!"

10/10 Excellent
"They picked us up (free shuttle) from the airport after a very long flight, which was amazing - we landed pretty late and I was grateful for not having to figure out how to get to the accomodation. The instructions to get to the bus were pretty clear! Beds were very comfi and the stay was quiet! Konbini within the same building was great. Rinku town station was 2 mins away, with straight connections to Namba. Staff were very kind and helpful! Loved the stay"
