“Kyoto Gion U-Bell Hotel strikes me as a particularly savvy choice for experiencing the city's cultural heart. Its Gion location places you steps away from traditional architecture and geisha culture, while the comfortable, generously sized rooms provide a welcome respite. I think this hotel cleverly balances authentic local charm with the practical comforts travelers appreciate.”
