Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA
Breakfast was amazing! The French toast was one of the best I’ve ever had. The Japanese style breakfast was delicious as well. Staff were so nice and professional and helpful. I loved how fast the elevators worked every time. The hotel was modern and rooms were very clean. Looking forward to coming ...
