Hotel Kitcho

Frommer's Review

This great-value hotel is located in a charming, old-fashioned neighborhood called Ningyo-cho, near the Suitengu Shrine (popular with expectant mothers hoping for a safe delivery). During cherry-blossom season, try to get a room facing the front with its tree-lined median. Rooms, mostly singles and twins, are tiny but tidy, but there is one Japanese-style room (¥12,000/$114 for one or two persons). The hotel also provides a small library, tea ceremonies in its Japanese restaurant (Fri-Sun afternoons), free use of bikes (reserve in advance), and even a choice of pillows.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; small library; in-room massage; coin-op washer and dryer, free use of bikes
