Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Kanra
Shimogyo-ku, Rokujo-sagaru, Kyoto, Kyoto-fu, 600-8176, Japan
This chic downtown pied-à-terre successfully combines traditional ryokan elements—sliding paper screens, tatami rooms—with some unexpected boutique-hotel touches like the contemporary room design and the lobby aromas that change with the season (citrus when it's cool outside, mint when it's warm). One definite break with tradition is that you can opt for a plan that includes no meals.
PROS
- excellent restaurant with reasonable prices
- near subway
- on-site electric-bicycle rental
CONS
- smallest rooms may be too snug for some
- on a busy street
- not close to the best restaurants and shopping
