The Moxy brand hotels is a always a great choice, no matter where in the world you are. When traveling, it's always nice to recognize the vibe that connects all the Moxy's. Check in at the bar is always fun, a free signature cocktail is such a nice touch and the rooms are always roomy enough with just the right amount of touches. Our bed was comfy, shower and restroom combo convenient. I appreciate the mini fridge and hot water kettle. The location in Kyoto is away from the hustle and bustle of Kyoto, but surrounded by so many great non touristy restaurants, shops and bars. The Nijo Station is a block away and takes you pretty much anywhere you need to go, which is so convenient. When sitting at the bar, just make sure you shout the standard Japanese "Sumimasen" to get their attention. You can tell the staff takes pride in their work. They offer a restaurant and quick eats at all hours which is so convenient. This location is wedged between a Family Mart and 7-11, so you're never without food and drinks. I love Moxy, they make it easy.
