“Kyoto Travellers Inn presents a practical base in Higashiyama, balancing traditional Japanese and Western room styles. Its location suits relaxed exploration, with the Heian Shrine nearby and Gion within a reasonable walk. While the absence of an elevator might challenge some, the staff's attentiveness and the available hot bath add a touch of welcome.”
