My stay at The Westin Miyako Kyoto had its highs and lows. The great location near the subway and temples really stood out, and the breakfast buffet was delicious. However, I encountered a strange scented air issue that bothered my allergies, and the value didn't quite measure up to the price. Overall, it's a good hotel, but it could use some improvements.

I had a wonderful stay at The Westin Miyako Kyoto. The beautiful views of the city from my room were a highlight, and the staff were friendly and incredibly helpful. However, due to ongoing renovations, some amenities like the gym were closed, and getting to my room involved navigating two elevators and a long walk. Overall, I'd definitely return once renovations are complete.

My stay at The Westin Miyako Kyoto was fantastic! The location was perfect for exploring the Higashiyama temples, and the picturesque views of the mountains added to the charm. While I found that the room could get a bit cool, especially during the cold spell in March, the cozy, comfy bedding made for some restorative sleep. A couple of downsides were the higher prices in the restaurant and the lounge's limited hours, but overall, it was a beautiful experience where luxury meets convenience.

My stay at The Westin Miyako Kyoto was quite nice. The staff was incredibly attentive and helpful, making my experience enjoyable.
