Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA

10/10 Excellent

"All the amenities, lobby, and room were very clean, spacious, and well-maintained! The luggage lockers were especially helpful. Two tips: (1) make sure you rinse off in one of the showers near the public bath before entering (this isn't listed on the list of "rules" but it is, indeed, one). (2) Be prepared to wait awhile for the laundry machines to open up; they were full for a while when we were there. Also you'll probably have to run the drying cycle 1.5 times to get your load fully dry."
