Luxury Hotels in Kyoto

We chose a large corner room with windows on both sides. The hotel building has a history of more than 200 years. The location is great. It is right at the entrance of Kiyomizu Temple Commercial Street. It is quiet in the bustling city. The hotel is very quiet and elegant, with high-end decoration, complete facilities and excellent service! Breakfast is served in a library-style restaurant, which is very special. I highly recommend Japanese breakfast. Everyone thinks it is high-end Japanese cuisine when they post it on WeChat Moments. There are also vegetarian and children's meal options for breakfast. I also strongly recommend the window seat in the executive lounge. Drink Japanese tea or Japanese whiskey in the afternoon and look at the quaint buildings outside. It is worth the effort!

To sum it up, this is, in my opinion, the best choice in Kyoto under 10,000 RMB (my criteria when traveling with a baby are a kitchen for cooking and a washing machine for laundry). First, the hotel's amenities are impeccable. It's spacious and comfortable, and what you see in the official photos is exactly what you get. All kitchen and bathroom appliances are top-of-the-line (for example, the wine cooler is a LIEBHERR). The bathroom also featured an automatic hot water dispenser that keeps the water at a constant temperature, which was a first for me and incredibly convenient for bathing the baby. Secondly, the hotel service is the best I've ever encountered. Their team made me feel like they genuinely care for their guests, not just doing a job. This was a stark contrast to the cold, fake smiles often found in chain hotels. On our first day, a part was missing from the crib, so they helped us move our large bed, thoughtfully placing the mattress against the wall to prevent the baby from bumping their head. I was completely satisfied, as the issue was resolved. But to my surprise, the hotel immediately bought a brand new crib for us the very next day, which truly touched me! And the warm, welcoming Chinese-language service, plus the responsive WeChat service group, was incredibly convenient. Finally, the Kamo River is just so beautiful. I didn't even want to go to any other attractions; I just enjoyed strolling with the baby, soaking up the sun, and chasing wild ducks. Life is elsewhere, but perhaps this is the true meaning of travel.

So glad that I chose Six Senses Kyoto, love the design and everything about the hotel. I must say the pool was one of the best pools I ever swam, felt so calm and relaxed. Room was super comfortable and clean, overall experience was beyond my expectations. Thank you the team for their impeccable service, they are so well trained and professional. Excellent quality breakfast with buffet and à la carte menu.

The hotel is very pretty, Andre Fu never fails to impress! Breakfast was nice with good variety to choose from, would be great if we can have a drink menu as well. The room was a bit small for 3 ladies and the bathroom is quite transparent. Would be great if switchable smart glass is used instead for the bathroom window for privacy. Despite the minor inconvenience, the bathtub is amazing and spacious. It’s perfect for couple. The thermal spring is clean and is usually not busy. The hotel provides swim suit for guests as it is a mixed pool. The service was smooth and the environment is very relaxing. The only thing we didn’t like about the spring was that there is no natural lights as it is located in the basement. Don’t miss out on the morning breathing session! Special shoutout to the concierge team as they very efficiently helped us with restaurant and workshops recommendation and bookings prior to our arrival. Taxis were arranged promptly every time. We had a really good time in Kyoto and we can’t wait to come back again!
