Sawasdee kub. Am trying to learn (for the 1st time) to write a review here so I can put some (below average) pictures for those wanting to go Kyoto and may looking to stay at Westin Kyoto kub. The official address of the hotel is 'Sanjo, Keage, Higashiyama-ku Kyoto, KT'
Westin Kyoto is a SPG category 4 hotel which can be redeemed for 10,000 starpoints. The hotel itself is about 120km from Osaka Kansai Int Airport and approximately 6km from Kyoto Station. There's a complimentary shuttle bus service which runs half hourly between Kyoto Station directly to the hotel via Gion Shijo. Journey time is around 15-20 mins depending on traffic.
I arrived the hotel quite early around 10am and was lucky to be given the room immediately to freshen up and I was assigned a room on 8th Floor. I've seen K. TeDDy T's past review and it's already very extensive and cover pretty much all aspects of the hotel such as entrance, lobby, garden etc so I will just do whatever my photos allowed me la kan kub 5555!!!
Below is a description of the hotel's local area from its website.
'The Westin Miyako Kyoto, an urban resort surrounded by the green Higashiyama Hills, is located right next to the subway station and within walking distance of downtown. With convenient access to the city, guests can explore the surrounding area or stay close by.
The capital of Japan for more than a thousand years, Kyoto is still considered the country's spiritual capital. Graced with an abundance of temples, shrines, palaces, and gardens, Kyoto boasts 17 UNESCO World Heritage sites. It also maintains a rich cultural heritage as seen in major festivals and rituals such as the Daimonji bonfires.'
Please excuse the quality of my pictures kub as am a novice photographers and ALL pictures were taken using an iphone camera. Please also not that all my pictures in the review are not done in order so first picture does not necessary means the first day and last picture not reflected my last day etc....
Again am not really sure how to put caption underneath each photos or how to makes this review look 'less boring'....any suggestions or recommendations please feel free na kub. There are more photos of the hotel public areas form my other phone so, at the moment, I can only put up as much as I wish for.
