During my stay at the Keio Prelia Hotel Kyoto Karasuma-Gojo, I found the location to be fantastic, conveniently located between the main station and the shopping district. My room was a good size, clean, and comfortable, perfect after a day of exploring. However, I was disappointed that basic amenities like mineral water were not included in the room rate, which felt a bit off for the price. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
