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.

Our experience at Six Senses Kyoto was truly wonderful. As a new hotel opened in 2024, it exudes an elegant Japanese Zen style, and the public courtyard is particularly photogenic. The room was spacious enough at 42 square meters, and the attention to detail was impeccable. The breakfast selection was rich, offering both local Kyoto flavors and Western options, and the quality of the food was excellent. Its location isn't far from Gion and Kiyomizu-dera Temple, making it very convenient for sightseeing. The only slight downside is that it's a bit of a distance from the subway, so I'd recommend taking a taxi for getting around. The service was meticulous and attentive, making for a very relaxing stay overall, perfect for those looking to slow down and enjoy a holiday.

The hotel is nested in a quiet corner, within walking distance of Sagaogurayama Tabuchiyamacho. Im however a bit disappointed with the limited facilites it offered when compared to the price we paid. We stayed in the Tsukinone Twin Room which is on the third floor of the building. The view is pleasant. The room is of decent size. Yet there were no public onsens. We need to pay YEN5000 for 45 minutes and there are only 2 private onsens. For more luxurious rooms with private onsen, the one I visited was on the ground level with no views as it were by the pathway to the reception , separated by wooden planks. We paid around Yen5000 for the breakfast in the hotel, Both western and japanese breakfasts were offered. We tried both. It is of standard. The 4 different juices presented on the top of the bento box was impressive. The vaccinity is pleasant. We could walk to the train station, the tourist rown area , the nearby parks and the world heritage sites. Nice area .
