Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

Check in experience was totally inflexibile and lacked any common sense - check in started at 14:00 precisely, no exceptions. At 14:00, lobby was packed with Chinese tourists, right at the most dangerous time w.r.t. covid-19.

Located only a few hundred metres walk from the main railway station, our top floor room had a view over the Shinkansen tracks. Whilst we could hear the trains, the noise wasn't obtrusive. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was necessarily limited to minimise contamination due to the coronavirus pandemic, but it was adequate and very tasty. We had dinner in their café and it was very good. The station has a large number of food outlets and we ate there most nights, experiencing different types of food each time. Enjoyed the stay, but had to cut it short by a day due to UK government advice to get home. Hotel could have compensated us for the night we didn't stay, but they didn't. Ah well.

Across the street from train station and very accommodating storing luggage.
