The room in this deal

This is the room the price was measured on and the room the button books. The hotel lists its rooms under different names, so we could not match this one to the supplier’s own photograph and description — they are in the fold below, unmarked, because guessing which is this one would be a claim we have not checked.

In October a single refundable night here runs $85 at the median. This deal is a different product — 7 nights, refundable, priced 30 days ahead — and the claim above compares it with 25 comparable Kyoto hotels priced for the same stay when we published, not with these one-night rates. On the last sweep, among the 25 comparable hotels we priced for a single night, this room was 2nd cheapest.
