I had a fantastic stay at The Root2 Hotel in Kyoto. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated, with a lovely bathroom that made relaxing a breeze. However, there were a few minor quirks, like the fixtures that could have used some attention and one light that was a bit annoying for anyone taller than 5'1". Overall, though, I would highly recommend it!
