Dear Sir/Madam, I recently had the opportunity to stay at your hotel, and I would like to share my experience with you. First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude for the exceptional design and comfort your property offers. Kengo Kuma’s architectural brilliance, with its use of natural wood, thoughtful lighting, and integration of art pieces, creates a stunning and serene atmosphere. Additionally, the comfort of the rooms, the quality of the materials, the size of the beds, and the premium linens were truly impressive. In terms of design and comfort, your hotel sets a remarkable standard. However, I did encounter several service-related issues that I believe could be addressed to enhance the overall guest experience. I would like to share these points in the hope that they are helpful for future improvements: 1. Breakfast Lounge and Sushi Area: The proximity of these two areas creates a strong odor upon entering, which can be unpleasant. Improved ventilation could easily mitigate this issue. 2. Food and Beverage Service After Breakfast: The lack of food and beverage service after breakfast hours was inconvenient. At the very least, providing a space for guests to enjoy tea or coffee would be a welcome addition. 3. Room Service Availability: After a long journey, I was surprised to learn that room service was unavailable and that only rice balls could be provided. Expanding room service options would greatly improve the guest experience. 4. Flexibility with Breakfast Hours: Due to the time difference, I arrived slightly late for breakfast at 10:10 AM and was informed that nothing could be served. Even my request for tea did not receive a clear response. Greater flexibility in accommodating guests dealing with jet lag would be highly appreciated. 5. Lobby Services: The inability to offer anything to drink or even host a guest in the lobby felt restrictive. This could be improved to make the lobby a more welcoming space. 6. Spa Experience: I was unable to experience the renowned Banyan Tree spa as it was fully booked. Expanding spa reservation availability would help meet guest expectations for this signature offering. In summary, while the hotel excels in design and comfort, the service offerings seem to be constrained by rigid rules and limited hours, which can detract from the overall guest experience. I strongly believe that adopting a more flexible, guest-centered approach would significantly enhance satisfaction. If the above issues were addressed, I would certainly consider staying at your hotel again during my next visit to Kyoto. Once again, I want to thank you for the exceptional design and comfort provided during my stay and hope that these suggestions contribute to further elevating your standards. Best regards, next visit to Kyoto.

Very good location right beside kyoto station especially when arriving late at night. Good amenities and service at affordable prices. There’s even free washing machine and dryer but just have to bring your own detergent else there’s the option to purchase as well.

Kyoto Station and surrounding areas
Location wise just one stop from kyoto train station. Free flow drinks, private bath and public bath available. Midnight noodles & ice cream available from 9-11pm. Japanese course dinner served special menu from their chef. Buffet breakfast choices were a lot. Can store luggage before check in or after check out. Provide luggage transfer with some fees within kyoto area. Definitely worth to pay a visit to experience kyoto culture. 👍🏻
Hotel Monterey Kyoto

Kawaramachi
Onsen must pay 2,200 ¥ extra per time . No laundry machines inside the hotel. Rooms are comfortable and toilet are equipped with bathtub . Location is quite convenient about 5 minutes from metro and neighborhood is pleasant to stay . Rates were reasonable for weekdays and if you don’t want to enjoy hotel facilities it is a good option.

Ohara/Kibune/Kurama
Beautiful view and delicious food. The picture shows breakfast, mostly vegetarian dishes, very healthy. The manager is very handsome. Check in at 3 pm, even half an hour earlier is not allowed, pay attention to the time arrangement. There are many fat koi in the courtyard outside the room, and they also let me feed the fish food, very happy 🥳
Soraniwa Terrace Kyoto Bettei
4.8/5174 Reviews
Kawaramachi
My husband and I have been to Kyoto many times and stayed in various luxury hotels, but the Kyoto Bettei at the Sora-niwa Terrace this time is definitely our favorite and most satisfying one! Although the room rate is nearly 6,000 per night, it is worth the money. If it weren’t for the fact that the bed was a little too soft and not elastic enough, it would almost be a full score💯 The hotel is in an extremely advantageous location, with subways and trains nearby, small rivers and large rivers within easy reach, and beautiful scenery; The room has a private hot spring in Shijo Kawaramachi, which is extremely rare in a hotel in the city center, and the hot spring water quality is excellent. After taking a bath every day, I feel that my skin and body are in great condition; The service is first-class, the front desk guy is handsome and gentle, not only carefully and thoughtfully explaining all the details, but also recommending several particularly delicious restaurants for us (we have almost tasted them, great!) The hotel room is spacious and very comfortable, making us almost reluctant to go out... There is a warm outdoor terrace overlooking Kiyomizu Temple, a TV that can be projected, and a refrigerator full of snacks and various drinks for free... What surprised us most is that the hotel has a ”secret exit” only for guests. From here, you don't need to go through the front desk and go directly to the nearby streets. Every time you walk, you feel like you are on a ”Roman Holiday”. I strongly recommend friends who come to Kyoto to stay here. We will definitely choose this place again next time we come.
Green Rich Hotel Kyoto Station South (Artificial Hot Spring Futamata Yunohana)
4.5/555 Reviews
Kyoto Station and surrounding areas
First up: it can get really scary walking thru long, dark, quiet lanes from the Kyoto station to the hotel late at night. Regardless of how safe Japan is, this was one of the few times I got spooked. So please just take a cab from the station and dun try walking if you are arriving close to midnight like I did. In the morning though, and after checking out the area + google maps, I realised the hotel location is rather good if you are taking buses instead of trains. The bus stop to many tourist locations are just a short walk away from the hotel entrance. And in Kyoto, I realised buses are the way to go! So this is the best point about the hotel, in addition to the small public bath. Room is small, old, and because they ran out of non-smoking rooms, the room was really smelly because the cigarette smoke/smell has gone right up into the aircon vents. No matter how much deodorant spray you use, it is futile. So please note if you are a non-smoker. Staff are alright but they hardly can speak English. Also a little inflexible in accommodating requests, such as refusing to help me to heat up some packed food. Breakfast spread is average, same food every day.
Sora Niwa Terrace Kyoto
4.7/5787 Reviews
Kawaramachi
We recently spent 4 nights here and had a great experience overall. The check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. The hotel's central location is very convenient, providing easy access to Kyoto's popular attractions. Although the room is a bit small, it’s was very comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. One of the standout features of this hotel is its stunning rooftop terrace overlooking the city, which was our favorite spot to unwind and relax at the end of each day. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Sora Niwa Terrace Kyoto to anyone visiting this beautiful city.
Hotel the Mitsui Kyoto, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Spa
4.7/565 Reviews
Nijo Castle
We loved our stay at Hotel the Mitsui. Super nice and zen design . Absolutely adore their lobby area, which I think is designed by Andre Fu. Always drawn into his work somehow. Breakfast food was okay, but the view really made up everything l. Super relaxing & beautiful Service was great. Most of them were able to speak English proficiently. There’s a thermal spring at their basement, which you have to call the reception before you go to ensure there’s enough space. Everything was well prepared, including swimwear, disposable underpants, towels, water, etc. Since they control the # of people, everyone has their own space and it still feels very private. Room is nice with many details. Love their huge selection of pillows available for guests. It’s not huge, but the space is well used. Location wise, I wouldn’t say it’s the most convenient, but if you take a cab, everything is reachable in 20 mins max, so it’s not too bad. There are still good restaurants and touristy places to go that are in walkable distance, so it’s not middle of nowhere. Overall, fantastic experience which I will recommend for others!
Super Hotel Kyoto Shijokawaramachi
4.6/5136 Reviews
Kawaramachi
Hotel location is decently accessible. Short bus or train ride to Kyoto station and easy to get to many attractions. Free breakfast included, but do get down early if there are many people staying there. Free drinks in the evening with a selection of liquors. Public bath was great, but time limited with both genders using one bath on alternate timings. Also abit on the smaller side. Ammenities was great and staff was friendly. Plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. Overall a good place to stay.
