Hotel Musse exterior
The Musse couldn’t be more central: It’s right in the middle of Kyoto’s downtown shopping and dining district. So, if you want convenience, you’ll love this place. If you want peace and quiet (at least when you step out of the hotel), you might look elsewhere. The rooms are large considering the price and there’s little to complain about here. It’s clean, well run and the rooms have everything you need.
Standard family room
If you’re looking for a solid hotel in the budget range and you seek a convenient location, you will find it hard to beat the Musse Kyoto.
