Self-described as “a laid-back streamlined hotel," Hotel Mystays Kyoto Shijo screams viable location. The rooms are modern, and surprisingly colourful. Plus, guests with family in tow can choose one of the rooms available to suit their needs. The accommodations come through with flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. Unlike most hotels, however, you may have to pay for the breakfast here. Things like the cool restaurant, on-site salon and, coin-operated laundry facilities might just sweep you right off your tired feet.
