My stay at Urban Hotel Kyoto Gojo Premium was a mixed experience. I enjoyed the breakfast selection greatly. the variety of both Japanese and western dishes was impressive. However, I found the breakfast charge for my children to be a hidden fee that I wasn't informed about beforehand. Additionally, the cleaning service was lacking, as my room wasn't cleaned daily apart from towel changes, which was a bit uncomfortable.

While I appreciated the available amenities like toiletries and a public bath, I found the onsen experience to be more akin to a hot tub than a relaxing spa. Also, the gym had an hourly charge, which didn't sit well with me.
