Review by hotel critic
During my recent stay at Kinkaku, I found the accommodation to be a mix of practicality and comfort. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, the hotel offers a serene refuge, ideal for any travel photographer like myself seeking inspiration after a long day of exploring. The tatami rooms provided ample sleeping space, complemented by a large kitchen perfect for preparing meals. Though the host isn’t on-site, communication was seamless via WhatsApp, ensuring any inquiries were swiftly addressed. The availability of a laundry service was a significant advantage, especially for longer stays. While the hotel delivers a commendable experience, it’s essential to weigh the pricing against amenities and overall value, particularly if traveling on a budget. For those focused on balancing luxury and practicality, Kinkaku could serve as a reasonable base for your adventures.
