The hotel Miru Kyoto Nishikiis awesome. The location is very close to Nishiki market, there are tons of food options as well as convenience stores nearby. They have laundry facilities on-site, and supply soap and fabric softener. They also offer luggage forwarding services. Every morning each person in your room gets a free croissant.
The rooms are fairly normal by Japan standards. The beds are very comfortable, they have the normal amenities, microwave, mini fridge, etc. Bathroom is awesome, toilet with bidet and the water pressure and temperature in the shower is great.
The best part? The staff. Super friendly, incredibly helpful, and very efficient.
It's about a 1700 yen cab ride from Kyoto station.
I can't recommend this hotel highly enough. Best hotel we have had since being in Japan. I will not hesitate to stay here again as I fully intend on visiting Kyoto again.
