Hotels With Breakfast in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

First of all, thank you to the front desk staff who check us in when we encounter error on the self check in and gave us a free upgrade… ours was the compact room or something and was at a lower level, she upgraded us to a higher floor on level 7 with a view of the train station. Thank you for making our trip in Kyoto a memorable one. The room was big with a long sofa which we can sit and have our meals, enjoy the view and even put our large luggage. Will book again next trip to Kyoto. Sorry didn’t managed to ask for your name. Throughly enjoy my stay with this hotel and it’s pretty near to aeon mall and konbini stores. Thanks again!

This hotel is amazingly good. Gotten free room upgrade and the room is very big. There are nice gardens, sauna, gym and swimming pool in the hotel. Had a pleasant stay and will definitely come back again if I am in Kyoto.

The room is clean The staff is really helpful. But it's hard to wait for the laundry because many people using it. And it takes some minutes to go back to the louder streets. But it's fine if you get used to it and know the directions. For transport, this hotel is closer to two different subways. It should be easy to travel to places like arashiyama or somewhere further. The price is also really affordable, good price for center of kyoto.

Ala Kyoto Hotel is superb! I stayed for my birthday and it was lovely - clean, great location (near to Kyoto station) and easy enough to get the bus to Gion (shopping area). The staff’s customer service was exceptional - went through extra lengths for my birthday and sorted out forwarding our luggage. The hotel’s laundry facilities were great, the gym was a little small but had what you really needed if you wanted to run/cycle/elliptical. I didn’t try the onset but imagine it was good! Nothing to complain, the rooms were lovely! - stayed in both the double and twin - lots of space in both (larger than most in Japan). Highly recommend, the prices are usually good but stayed during golden week, so the prices were inflated but still worth the money. 10/10.

We are a family of 4 with 2 young children. Pros: excellent location. Hotel is right opposite Kyoto station. Short 3min walk from the station. We visited kyoto railway museum and bamboo forrest, all connected via the train. Lots of food options around like Kyoto Porta underground and aeon mall nearby. Price is reasonable. Free umbrella loans from counter desk. Will be back if we return to kyoto! Cons: rooms are a little tight, but normal for japan hotel room size.

If I had to point out a slightly unsatisfactory aspect, it would be the inefficiency of the front desk service. When I asked for a recommendation for the nearest laundry service, they didn’t provide any suggestions at all and were quite perfunctory. Due to being in a hurry, I asked the front desk to call a taxi to the bus station for me. Instead of taking action, they kept saying that the roads were closed today and that taxis might be delayed, along with a lot of unhelpful comments. This wasted a few minutes. It would have been much better if they had simply gone downstairs to call a taxi and helped solve the problem. Overall, I felt their service lacked enthusiasm, which was something I was very dissatisfied with. As for location wise, this hotel’s location is UNBEATABLE. I would stay again for the location and nothing else

The Gate Hotel Kyoto is conveniently located to the shopping area. It was formerly a primary school and the scenery is perfect. My wife and I also enjoyed our cocktails on the top floor with a great view. Perfect stay!

Comfortable stay with an impressive terrace on roof top where you can chill out with the view of Kyoto while soaking your feet, so comfy! Bar time in the evening at the terrace. Small hot bath area yet peaceful ambience. Small room but well equipped. They suggest to store the luggage under the bed but personally found that it isn't practical for big luggage. Otherwise the mattress is comfortable and the provided amenities are all fine for the stay. Good location even department stores, shops, restaurants, public transportation, attractions, Gion and etc are in walking distance but still silent enough and I had a good stay here. Also taxi stop is just right in front of the hotel entrance. Luggage can be store after check out but please check with the time for picking up with the staff.

Stayed for 4 nights. Plus Points: 1. Friendly, helpful and welcoming staff in particular  Mitsukawa 2. Good size TWIN room with washer dryer machine, kettle, microwave and possibility to partially open the window. 3.  Very Near to the metro, Tram, 24 hr convenient stores and main touristic places. 4. Of note:  McDonald's next to metro  (in the event you want to eat breakfast). 5.  Self-served Coffee machines from 6am -  11pm. Ice water & ice cubes dispensing machine.  Minus Points: 1.  Poor unhygienic room service policy:  Room only cleaned and bed linen change only when guests stay  7 nights, despite the fact that guests are paying the same daily rate.   Otherwise guests are charged.  No good reasons that at the very least this rule is not  apply for the  first 2 nights.  This was strange given the Japanese are perceived to be very cleaned people  (which I totally agree with). In some hotels you are encouraged to not walk around with shoes in the rooms.   On the other hand they can  - as with many hotels -  let the guests decide whether or not they want their rooms to be serviced daily.   However, the concierge agreed to give us the bed linen when told we would change them ourselves .    !    Bins are emptied and towels are changed every day ONLY if requested.   2.  Bed could be firmer. 3.   Unlike other Japanese hotels we have stayed, we found the breakfast was too Japanese in content:  mainly 'same' typical Japanese menu with cold dishes and even the couple of supposedly bit dishes were tepid.   Not a great choice of bread and fruits. In short  the choice of menu was not even as good as  another Tokyu Stay Hoteks in Tokyo where we also stayed.  It seemed to the same theme of breakfast for the Tokyu Stay groups.  We decided to go to McDonald's for breakfast on our 3rd night and on our 4th night we left very esrky  for our flight and did not miss not having breakfast.   In short,  we travel a lot and we would be willing to visit this hotel again if we cannot find something else  but will not include breakfast in our booking as other guests did .  And it certainly would not be for more than one night.

Hotel was convenient, room was decent size too. If you are not comfortable with wearing their room slippers (they use a common slipper as there is a public bath), then I would suggest for you to bring your own slippers.
