Our take
Kyoto Tower Hotel wins on position: it sits beneath Kyoto Tower, a minute from Kyoto Station, with restaurants, a rooftop bar, a bathhouse and free Wi-Fi.

I recommend it to travellers who want to step off the train and be at their hotel straight away; those prioritising room size or a quieter street should compare other options nearby.

- Visit the rooftop bar in the evening for impressive views of the city lights and a relaxing drink.
