Charismatic Hotel & stay
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful with a very Kyoto like atmosphere - calm, relaxing & natural.
The rooms are super comfortable & the staff very courteous & friendly.
Our favorite part was the free flowing bar & coffee shop at the lobby.

Cons:

Everything was great, the hotel has great connectivity but is a little farther from Gion & Kawaramachi area. We walked it or took the bus.
The hotel does not have any wellness center.

An absolutely exceptional stay and without a doubt my favourite hotel during my trip to Kyoto.
Pros:

The room was exquisite! A perfect blend of traditional Japanese elements and contemporary design. The in-room amenities made it possible to create the most beautiful little self-care ritual for myself and I loved the traditional wooden bath.

I will always be thankful to Hotel Kanra Kyoto for the excellent staff and beautiful lodging.
Pros:

I cannot say enough about the staff at Hotel Kanra Kyoto. From check in to check out they are 5 *. The lodging is beautiful with many cultural touches. The location is perfect. We had room service and were thrilled with the excellent meal. I had an unfortunate accident requiring assistance from the front desk with a wheelchair, and many changes in our itinerary. My husband spent hours with staff going above and beyond to assist us. I hope to return to Hotel Kanra Kyoto to personally say thank you.

Cons:

Nothing!
