Kyoto State Guest House

We were 3 people in a deluxe room. It was very spacious with amazing views. We had 2 toilets and a separate wardrobe area. The hotel is perfectly positioned on top of several underground lines and with easy access to Dotonbury. The staff were very helpful and if you are going to Osaka airport, the airport coach is next to the hotel. We didn't use the restaurants at the hotel so I can't comment on that.

Very Comfortable stay!

The hotel was clean, comfortable, and in a great location, with easy access to the metro, convenience stores, restaurants, and supermarkets. Overall, we had a pleasant stay. Our main disappointment was the breakfast. While the food was nicely presented, the menu lacked variety. If you're only staying for one or two nights, it's perfectly fine. However, for longer stays, the limited selection becomes repetitive. Breakfast included three pre-made slider options (breaded chicken breast, egg tempura, and smoked salmon), a ciabatta sandwich with your choice of filling (veggies or pork), a side salad with cocktail fruit, a cup of granola, two soup options (chicken with duck or pork), and beverages including coffee, tea, lemonade, iced tea, and apple juice. Although this may sound like a decent selection, the menu remained the same each day. After a few mornings, we found ourselves wishing for more variety. We also noticed that several guests left their meals unfinished, suggesting that others may have felt the same way. We traveled with our 8-year-old son and felt that the hotel caters more to adults than families. The Lively has a youthful, social atmosphere, with a daily happy hour offering complimentary beer and live DJs. It's well suited for younger travelers or those looking for a vibrant social scene, but families with young children may find that it lacks a family-oriented environment.
