“Hotel Meldia Shijo Kawaramachi Annex struck me as a practical choice in central Kyoto, near enough to Gion and key transport links; the air-conditioned rooms and larger-than-average beds (by Japanese standards) certainly add to the appeal after a day of sightseeing. Its location in Shimogyo Ward makes it easy to explore attractions like Sanjusangen-do Temple and Nishiki Market. A solid, no-frills base for exploring the city.”
