I can not fly to Japan on schedule because of the reason I can not control (my Japan Visa not issued yet )
I sent email with the document to prove it, I called the hotel to explain my condition & also the Trip.com , but Double Tree by Hilton Kyoto can not accept my free cancellation while with the same case, the other hotel in Osaka that I should stay 2 days before , accepted my free cancellation request and refunded my full payment
Very bad service with no emphaty at all
From 3 nights I pay, finally I only stayed 1 night after my Japan visa issued
Room is relative small compare to the price we pay, Lobby is also too small and crowded
It's hard to bring your luggage to entrance with stairs and no one will help you in the front door
After checked in late night, front desk didn't ask if you need help to bring you luggage to the room
This is not what I expect in the 4 stars hotel at the nicest city Kyoto
Will not come back to this hotel anymore

Our stay at DoubleTree by Hilton Kyoto was truly memorable. The service was outstanding, with staff who were not only professional but also warm and attentive to every detail. The room was spacious, clean, and elegantly designed, reflecting the serene atmosphere of Kyoto. The hotel’s amenities were top-notch, and the welcome cookies added a delightful touch to the experience. Its location offered easy access to Kyoto’s cultural landmarks while still providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring. Highly recommend for a perfect balance of comfort and excellent service in Kyoto!
Response from Property: Thank you for your kind review of your stay with us. We are delighted to hear that you had a truly memorable experience and that our service, amenities, and overall atmosphere exceeded your expectations. We hope you had a wonderful time exploring the cultural treasures of Kyoto, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Significantly over-rated and over-priced. It is ironic that you stay in an International-chain hotel (under the Hilton Group) in Japan, you receive the US fast-food-style services, with standards a far cry from other leading Japanese local hospitality groups.
We were allocated to a lower level room on Floor 2, literally in parallel to the pedestrian outside the window. So be prepared there will be no privacy if you don’t draw the curtain. Not to mention noises of traffic. I start to wonder why every time I book from Ctrip.com, I am always assigned to a lower-floor room wherever in Japan. Is it prejudice towards Chinese tourists? Or is C-Ctrip considered a 无良商家 that has been essentially blacklisted by Japanese hotels?
Response from Property: Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent stay with us. We sincerely apologize for the disappointing experience you had. It is clear that the room allocation and service quality did not meet your expectations.Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused. We value your feedback, as it helps us identify areas for improvement. We hope you will give us another opportunity to provide you with a more satisfactory stay in the future.

Absolutely enjoyed our stay here! Room was relatively clean with new towels provided daily. Staff were very friendly. The welcome cookie was delicious :) The hotel is located in a relatively quiet area and but is very near to Gojo Station, which allows you to get to the city centre quickly. Would definitely come back again!
