Romantic Hotels in Kyoto

Beautiful hotel, right in the shopping district, 5 min walking to Nishiki market very close to Gion, and the river just behind the hotel. The Onsen was Definitely one of the highlights in our trip, just what we needed after long walking day. The Roof bar is amazing with view and calm atmosphere I’m goanna definitely recommend this hotel

Great location near Nishiki Market, Imperial Palace and Gion shopping street. It's also next to the Kamo river where there are amazing alleys of restaurant and shopping. The room is very spacious and comfortable. Toilet, Vanity Basin and bathing area is separated which is a great plus! Hotel staff is extremely friendly and amenities are free for taking at the hotel lobby. Lovely stay.

I and my mother stayed there for one night 20000 yen per person, with dinner and breakfast. It was a very comfortable stay. This was more like a hotel, except that we needed to walk around without your own shoes (without getting dirty feet) inside. It was fully booked on that day. We had an earlier check-in, which mean that we could enjoy our relaxing private Onsen bath without standing in line. We also tried the large onsen baths later in the evening after a long walk in the beautiful Arashiyama area nearby. It was hot, but great. One of the baths was outside in a Japanese garden. We got warmed up from the inside out, and had an ice popsicle before we went up to our room for good nights rest. We also enjoyed a huge dinner and breakfast, true local cuisine with typical taste in Kyoto that supposed to be refined and ”delicate” - you shouldn´t expect any strong taste, and correctly cooked. This supposed to be a 3-star-hotel, but the amenity was completed. We didn´t miss anything here. We thought the staff at the front desk were not amazing, but definitely not poor. We didn´t need to deal with them so much as we had good information in written form. Everything was clean and pleasant. Had absolutely nothing to complain. We would definitely love to come back again. My rating is 4 - not more or less. I certainly see that they still have a room for improvement, but overall I didn´t personally understand all the poor reviews.

I cannot compliment the Gate Hotel enough! Set in the heart of Kyoto, it’s 20-30 mins walk from major touristy spots! And on both sides of the hotel, it’s a foodie’s heaven as there’s heaps and heaps of restaurants surrounding! The hotel itself also has some very fancy restaurants overlooking the city with a fabulous view. In terms of service, I was amazed by the staff as this was the first hotel which not only had a check in time earlier than other hotels which is 3 pm but they said our room was already ready and even let us check in early without me asking. So far from my experience other hotels were quite strict to check in times and not allowing early check in. The room itself was also comfortable and spacious enough for 2 people and it was pretty good that they had the bathroom and shower seperate which is a bit convenient when more than one person is staying in the room. Furthermore, the hotel has monthly events on specific dates and we were lucky enough to experience an amazing show with the highest order of the Geisha’s giving us a spectacular performance which was also complimentary for the hotel guests. Generally, when I visit the same city twice I like to experience different hotels but it’s safe to say that on my next visit to Kyoto il definitely be staying at The Gate Hotel Kyoto Takasegawa by HULIC!! 7 on 5 rating easily

In early July, I stayed with my grandson (１ years old ３ months) and 5 people with my family, and in late August I stayed with my husband and wife ２ people. In mid August, I booked for 5 people again. Potel is located next to the Kyoto Aquarium, 13 hectares of umekoji Park on the south side, and Jr Shinkansen, limited Express, new rapid trains, and trains stop at each station run south of the park. The old Kyoto City trams run south and west of the hotel, and the west is Royal Park Hotel, Starbucks, Family Mart, Jr umekoji Kyoto Nishi station and Kyoto Railway Museum. There is a parking lot, a front entrance, and a public bath potato hot water in the separate building. The hotel is a large hall (between the children), and adults can enjoy beer, wine and coffee from 15 o'clock by self service. The potel, which is completely different from the hotel until now, is very clean and feels very good. [Rooms] We used the southwest corner twin with a balcony where the park can be seen. From the top of the hotel, the room is lined up on the left and right sides of the corridor from the 2 floor to the 5 floor in the L-shaped building. The west and south rooms have balconies. Since the window is from the floor to the ceiling, there is an open feeling and the room is bright. Cleaning is well done to the net door, window glass and bathroom drain. I am happy to stay for a consecutive night because the storage space of clothes is large. The thick mattress of the baby bed is kind to the child. [Security] Use the elevator with the card key and open the automatic door of the passage. 【Joint Bathroom Potato Yu】 The large and small Yufune is overflowing, so it has a feeling of cleanliness. You can enjoy dry sauna. Milk soap and towels are brought from the room. 【Breakfast】 Japanese style dishes are lined up in buffet style. Let's start eating at ７ when the store opens because it is crowded. [Awaima] There is a large space where parents and children can play and relax by taking off their shoes. You can go up and down the central stairs from 2 floor to 4 floor. [Laundry room] There is a coin type washing dryer on the 5 floor. [Rooftop] You can see Kyoto Tower, the five-story tower of Toji Temple, and the JR Shinkansen.

This hotel is incredible ! It’s brand new, rooms are very upmarket, great facilities, quality of food (breakfast needs to be experienced to be believed), gym was excellent but it is the service that is absolutely mind blowing ! We haven’t experienced anything like it decades ! The check in experience was first class, room service first class and the concierge managed to surprise us every single day - running after us with umbrellas, chasing down taxi’s in the rain, big smiles every day and they were all really nice to our 5 Year old daughter (and it was genuine) ! So, we left our passports in the room safe by mistake - they called as soon as they found them (by which time we were in Tokyo) - the hotel manager, Kiyoshi Gomamoto sent one of their staff (Kokoro) to Tokyo hi hand deliver/return our passports to us, she was a lovely lady ! We are so appreciative and will cherish the memories from this hotel ! Thank you Kokoro, Kiyoshi and everyone at Fauchon. Highly recommended !

My wife’s birthday trip at the Suiran was a dream come true. With successive Covid cancellations, it took us four years of planning, but it was worth the wait. With their traditional Japanese structures and landscaping, the Suiran was our oasis of calm during Kyoto’s busiest season (cherry blossoms). We enjoyed a wonderful dinner and the best breakfasts of our lives in their dining room, and blissful riverside happy hours in their cafe. Our comfortable room had all the amenities, and a soothing minimalist aesthetic. The Suiran staff is spectacular: thoughtful, gracious, attentive. Through our years of planning and days of enjoyment, we were guided by Suiran’s chief concierge, Hiromi Maruyama. Her kindness, patience, and expertise added greatly to the success of our time in Kyoto. Her suggestions and insights, and good spirits were a beacon shining our way. We are indebted to her for her efforts on our behalf.

This was by far our favorite hotel in our 2 weeks in Japan. They were very nice and helpful, let us check in early, and made luggage forwarding easy. Plus, the room had lots of great amenities, including a balcony and an incredible tub (the microbubbles were a life saver after a long day of walking!) The face masks were a nice bonus, since my skin did not take to Japan very well. And breakfast was amazing, and served in the room, every morning. On top of all that, the location is amazing: overlooking the river, extremely close to Pontocho, only a few blocks from a major train station.

Kyoto is such a big city, but I have to say that is hotel is in a very convinient location, in an area where you can walk thru every diretion and look many amazing stuff in the way.The walking distance to Nishiki Market for example is short and is a place where is a great to eat, walk around and do great shoping. Talking about the hotel now, is fantastic!!! the building looks and feel very new, with amazing furniture in all the place. The ONZEN is great in the first floor, I highly recomend live the Japanes bath. The room was great. Good space and Deco. The bath fantastyc. And the best of all ... the PJ´s

5 min walk to Kyoto station. Having unpleasant experience at laundry area. This hotel has 2 separated laundry for male and female. However  some female will crossover to use male laundry machine. This was due to free of charge of laundry service but detergent need to pay 50 yen per pack.  I would suggest Ala hotel to charge laundry service and upgrade your dryer. Many people complain these dryer not function welll as they required more time to dry their clothes.  Also some people forced to stop the in operating laundry machine and took up other people clothes and to dry and clean their own clothes.  Please get those 2 in 1 with equip password laundry machine which used by Keihan hotel.  Poor people need to stand outside the laundry room just to wait for their own clothes.
