Kyoto Shijo Takakura Hotel Grandereverie Reviews

Good room and service

Totally fantastic experience! Everyone of the staff was super helpful and stayed on top of everything we asked about. Room was great, modern and practical. Would definitely visit again!

The location is very convenient! If I come to Kyoto again, I will choose this hotel again!

Leider hat das Hotel sehr nachgelassen. Es gibt Probleme mit Feuchtigkeit und Schimmel. Wie es aussieht, sparen sie bei der Klimaanlage. Es wird offenbar nicht feuchter, wenn gerade niemand das Zimmer gebucht hat. Ich hatte eine Family Suite gebucht und Platz zu haben. Dabei ist das Bad eine Etage tiefer. Dieses Bad stinkt und hat Feuchtigkeitsschäden. Auch kleine Tiere sind da. Das war dem Management auch schon bekannt. Da beide Family Suiten betroffen sind, musste ich in ein kleineres Zimmer wechseln. Man hat mir trotzdem den unveränderten Preis berechnet. Vor allem aber gab es auch in diesem Zimmer Geruch wie bei einem Feuchtigkeitsproblem. In der Tat habe ich dann gesehen, dass die Klimaanlage ganz voller schwarzem Schimmel ist. Ich habe davon dann ein Foto gemacht und der Reception gezeigt und mich sehr deutlich beschwert. Man hat sich auf das feuchte Wetter raus geredet. Das ist aber eine schlechte Ausrede. Ich war zwei Wochen durch Süd Japan unterwegs in vielen Hotels. Alle waren tadellos sauber und überall waren die Klimaanlagen hygienisch. Auch insoweit hat man sich zwar entschuldigt, aber keine Kompensation gegeben. Dass das Zimmer nur bis 12:00 Uhr gemacht wird, ist auch nicht besonders gut . Leider zu meinem Aufenthalt von vor zwei Jahren ein starker Abfall der Qualität. Die zentrale Lage ist nach wie vor sehr gut. Aber sie müssen feuchte Schäden vermeiden und Gestank. Beides ist für dieses Hotel und zumal in Japan nicht akzeptabel.

お部屋が広くて、スタッフの対応がとても良かったです。 また次も泊まりたいです。

The Kyoto Shijo Takakura Grand Reverie is a completely decent hotel, but I just couldn’t deal with the opaque windows in our room. Pictures of the hotel show that the windows are clear and unobstructed. But our two windows were frosted over, completely opaque. I yearned to see out, to feel a part of the outside. I wanted to see the skies and check the weather. Our room felt like windowless room in the bowels of a cruise ship. There was no airflow and the room was dark. The window would only open 5” and the other window was sealed shut. We couldn’t get the thermostat to work. The room felt stifling and the air didn’t feel fresh. In a way, our room with no view forced us to get out and get out early. I wanted to go out into the fresh air and explore. If you’re claustrophobic or require fresh air, and appreciate a clear window, then this might not be the hotel for you.

We stayed in 4 hotels while in Japan, and this was my favorite. It wasn’t the most expensive, and it didn’t have the largest room, but they completely won me over with their warm, excellent service, and with just getting the important stuff right. Very comfortable bed. Provided packets for pour-over coffee in the room. Fantastic breakfast, brought to our room at our chosen time. I think this last one went the furthest for me. I also liked the Matcha drink on our arrival. It’s a little weird how they do the key to the room, but ultimately they won me over. They’re also located in a great part of Kyoto and we really enjoyed our 5 nights here.

My wife and I just came back from Japan and had a wonderful stay at the Kyoto Shijo Takakura Hotel Grandereverie. The staff provided great service and anticipated our every need. Our room was very spacious (especially for Japan standards) and had plenty of amenities, as well as an ultra comfortable bed. Location was amazing, surrounded by nice restaurants and +/- 5 minutes walking distance from a metro station and Nishiki market. A nice treat was a newly built lobby bar that is now shown on the website pictures.

Loved this little hotel. On a small quiet street just feet from the main drag. Rooms are large for Japan norms. Staff is soooo sweet and helpful. Breakfast is delivered to the room every morning. Delish and fresh. Beyond clean and comfy. The most sumptuous bed. Restaurants abound and laundromat literally across the small street. Just lovely.

This hotel was by far the best of our trip. Room was beautiful and comfortable. Everything was top notch: great bed, outstanding shower, good lighting, nice location on a street with lots of small restaurants. Excellent service too. Only about 20 rooms, so book early.

Japan Reviews My adult son and I spent 8 nights and 7 full days at this wonderful hotel in Kyoto. The rooms are a great size and well appointed especially compared to Tokyo room sizes. It’s a small hotel with a huge heart because the staff are simply awesome at customer care and support, without exception. Spacious bedrooms rooms with excellent controllable air-conditioning. The separate toilet and walk-in bathrooms are extremely comfortable and spacious The location is outstanding for shopping, sightseeing and travel across the city and further travel. 10 mins from Kyoto station on the Karasuma line and as a fan of Uber, its central to anything you need to get to within 5-20 mins. Walking distance to Teramachi street and Nishiki food markets. The Samurai Experience and the Shijo-Dori downtown shopping district. Meals are delivered to the rooms as there is no dining facility, but this is not a downside if you are a budding travel/adventurer. Meals can also be brought in from any Family Mart or 7-Eleven, which becomes the norm in Japan. Additionally, there are 15+ restaurants within a two minute walk, many of which are on the same quiet street. I absolutely loved this small characterful street this hotel was located on. I wanted to make a special note of the support this hotel team provided before we arrived. As a motorsport fan my son was keen to explore Suzuka race circuit. The hotel contacted the circuit directly and found out there was an all day practice session for different classes of cars on Saturday. The hotel also helped us find a car hire place, Toyota right next to Kyoto station. Picking the car up the night before I drove to Suzuka circuit, which all resulted in an another amazing day. Post event the hotel team then contacted the circuit and was able to get a list of all the driver and their cars after the event. This hotel goes above and beyond and all you need to do is ask them!! One of the best Hotel customer experiences I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. It was incredibly well located, the staff were super friendly, helpful, and attentive, the room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, the shower/bath area was huge, and the western in-room breakfast was yummy. What more is there to say?!

The hotel is located in a Great location, great room with ample space. Staff super helpful at all times. Many restaurants around the hotel, staff gave excellent recommendations and took care of bookings. Excellent for solo travelers for sure.

Nice spacious room. Good sleep quality. Good location for shopping and nishiki market . Bathroom has big bathtub and big shower area . Location is behind the Main Street. We didn’t book breakfast as there many places around for breakfast. Also we drove and could easily find parking space around the hotel . The room still use the key and you can drop off your key at reception when Leaving hotel .
