Kioto hotellia

Plussat: Great location for train travellers. Clean, comfortable and modern with good views of the Shinkansen line. When staying here make sure you wander around the magnificent Kyoto station especially at night. Very nice hotel with lots of restaurants nearby. Great place to access all the tourist spots!

Miinukset: Nothing all was good

Miinukset: Hotel itself was just meh. Amazing location above Kyoto Station but it comes at a hefty price. Since we were using the Japan Rail Pass for the day trips, it was worth it. Would stay there again.

Plussat: We love the location of this hotel in the Kyoto station

Plussat: The hotel is located right inside the Kyoto station which facilitate our travel and shopping. Also the Kyoto tower is situation just few meters from the hotel. The hotel staff are very friendly, courteous and helpful. The hotel rooms are very clean.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: they are good everytimes from frist stay.

Miinukset: Bar of top flour didn't open.

Plussat: The hotel was right next to Kyoto station and they held our luggage for us before check-in and after check-out. I liked how breakfast was an individual meal instead of buffet due to the pandemic situation. The bed was comfortable, the room was classy and wifi worked great. There were some free coffee and bottle of water in the room. They can give you some take away coffee to your room after breakfast. I would stay there again if I were to visit Kyoto.

Miinukset: I wish they had more options for children breakfast. Since I read news online these days, maybe provide us something else, such as online video service for free instead of giving us newspaper in the evening and morning.

Plussat: In the station, very convenient to travel around

Miinukset: Outdated Old carpet interior Bad room service

Plussat: Buffet breakfast and location

Miinukset: Fitness center hours and front desk staff.

Plussat: Pidin huoneen ikkunanäkymästä. Huoneesta avautui upea näkymä Kioton tornille. Huone oli tilava, aula ylellinen ja käytävillä japanilaista taidetta, josta erityinen plussa.

Miinukset: Aamiainen oli tavanomainen. Olisin toivonut vähemmän vaihtoehtoja, mutta parempaa laatua, esim. leivät ja etenkin kahvi. Huoneen kulumiin ei heti silmä yltänyt.

Plussat: location, location, location Right at the train station Shopping, restaurants, transit!

Plussat: It’s in Kyoto station which was very convenient for sight seeing. Also once I got off the sheinkasen from Tokyo it was a short walk to put my luggage down and rest. The room is big, in fact one of the biggest rooms I have stayed in in Japan. Lots of restaurants and shops around for eating and shopping. The hotel has couple of restaurants. I enjoyed a few beers at the top floor restaurant on the 15th floor, which has great view over Kyoto.

Miinukset: When I was there the gym and swimming pool were closed. If you are in one of the lowered floors the view is pretty depressing. But if you get a room on the side facing the city (rather than the station) it’s quite lovely.

Plussat: Fantastic hotel

Plussat: Good location. Convenient to train station. Very comfortable and relaxing. Good restaurants (although a bit pricey).

Plussat: The hotel is perfectly located within the train station. Hotel staff could not be more helpful in checking in and out.

Plussat: The location of the Hotel is straight across the road from the Station so very easy to get around from Hotel.

Miinukset: Hotel is very old and tired looking. Carpets in hallway were threadbare. Beds were uncomfortable and very hard. Lower bar was not a very inviting place to have a drink. Staff were a little too attentive and made you feel uncomfortable.

Plussat: Best breakfast of my life, and they treated me like a princess. Amazing hotel.

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: How central it was. Staff were friendly and helpful and very polite.

Miinukset: Not being able to control the air conditioning as it was centrally heated and was too hot. They did change our room after a bit of discussion.

Plussat: Located only a few hundred metres walk from the main railway station, our top floor room had a view over the Shinkansen tracks. Whilst we could hear the trains, the noise wasn't obtrusive. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was necessarily limited to minimise contamination due to the coronavirus pandemic, but it was adequate and very tasty. We had dinner in their café and it was very good. The station has a large number of food outlets and we ate there most nights, experiencing different types of food each time. Enjoyed the stay, but had to cut it short by a day due to UK government advice to get home. Hotel could have compensated us for the night we didn't stay, but they didn't. Ah well.

Plussat: Proximity to rail

Miinukset: No English stations and no room service other than 7.00pm to 10.30pm.

Plussat: Across the street from train station and very accommodating storing luggage.

Plussat: LOcation close to the railway station

Miinukset: No

Plussat: convenient for transportation because train station is in front hotel. Also getting good food fast, many choices at the train station. Staff the best!

Miinukset: Bed was hard and need english speaking or subtitles on TV selections.

Plussat: Third time I've stayed at Miyako hotel. Great location next to station and shopping mall.

Miinukset: The air conditioning is pretty average. Needed to keep the sliding door to balcony open for air.

Plussat: Two very comfortable chairs in the room. The location, less than 5 minutes walk from the shinkansen. Very friendly, helpful staff with very good english. This is a quality hotel with lots of options for dining but for us the main point is the comfort of the room. Many dining outlets across the street from the hotel.

Miinukset: The bar didn't have a no smoking area

Miinukset: Check in experience was totally inflexibile and lacked any common sense - check in started at 14:00 precisely, no exceptions. At 14:00, lobby was packed with Chinese tourists, right at the most dangerous time w.r.t. covid-19.

Plussat: The location was excellent. The staff were immaculately groomed and dressed. All staff were very polite. We especially want to praise the door-man who greeted us in such a friendly manner each day with a bow and a smile and a few words in English. The rooms were kept very well.

Plussat: clean

Plussat: It has a grear location, the staff is very helpful and the hotel is in great condition.

Miinukset: Beware, single beds are short, if you are 6.2+ I would be aware of this.

Plussat: Wonderful location.

Plussat: Business hotel..mostly small rooms..I got a great one on 14th floor..two queen beds..three windows..views! All because they made a mistake... Third time I have stayed here. All non smoking.. Great staff..good English..well trained!

Miinukset: Amenities not as good as most places in Japan..most rooms are very small..beds are hard

Plussat: Aamiainen oli hyvä, hotelli puhdas ja vuode mukava.

Plussat: It was a comfortably sized room. Pretty decent location. Check in staff spoke English and check in and check out was a breeze. There are plenty of restaurants near by and the Fresh Mart at the end of the block was great.

Miinukset: It was a little hard to find at first.

Plussat: Rooms were very spacious and clean. The staff were very nice and helped me arrange a massage appointment, We also really liked using the coin laundry/dryer.

Miinukset: It's a bit of a walk to the closest station (not bad for every day stuff, but with suitcases it can be tough).

Plussat: Very easy access, very nice streets to walk around Kyoto

Miinukset: I liked all, it was a very good deal

Plussat: Great location , and room so clean , nice staff :)

Plussat: We loved everything

Plussat: Stayed at 2 Mystays this trip, Tokyo & Kyoto. Good wired/wifi speed, ok bfast, cramp rooms. Equate Mystays to Starbucks, reliable but better bang for the Yen is nearby w/ a bit of research. Richmond in Yokohama was great and 4 star Tokyo deals abound.

Plussat: The hotel have their own parking tower, just need to turn left after the hotel building (with parking fee, unlimited entry and exit from 7.00-23.00). Complimentary coffee and tea at the lobby behind the elevator. The room size is considered big for hotel in the city, big enough to open 2 cargo bag at the same time inside the room. Staffs are friendly, helpful and can communicate in english quite well.

Plussat: Good location, comfortable room, clean and elegant.

Miinukset: no wi-fi internet (cable only)

Plussat: It is modern,spacious,clean room and very good bathroom. Bed and pillows were excellent. They give me free coffee and free use of internet. I will definitely stay again.

Plussat: Very helpful staff

Plussat: localization in city center, nice view over the city, lots of restaurants around, friendly staff, large room

Miinukset: maybe only the common bath was missing...

Plussat: Very good location in town; excellent quality of room for the price.

Miinukset: Reception on 1st floor and although all lifts stop briefly there, people not registered at hotel can enter it by lift, bypassing reception. In London, say, this would be a fatal flaw (I once had my room in London entered by burglars in just such a situation). In Kyoto, however, no particular risk is incurred and the door locks were very good. Information about location was not enough to reach the hotel without asking for directions.

Plussat: Good location near the central Kyoto St. The room was comfortable and clean.

Miinukset: They asigned us in smoking floor, and the smoking smells was terrible. We asked for a change and they assigned a room two doors beside. Next day they changed yo a better room in other floor.

Plussat: The staff, cleanliness, location to the train station.

Miinukset: Nothing noted

Plussat: Concierge was amazingly helpful

Miinukset: Too expensive compared to other hotels in Japan. They were cheaper and better value. Pool and gym not available unless we paid money.

Plussat: Staff were excellent, very friendly and vibrant

Plussat: The first day, they give us a room in the 5 floor, wich is for smoking people. Wen we make a complain, were change for other room in the same floor. Fortuny the nex day we change to the 8 flor, no smoking and with a beautiful japan is stile

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Fantastic hotel located within an easy 10min walk of Kyoto station. Very foreigner friendly with good dinning options. Ideal hotel for tourists.

Miinukset: Our toddler was dissapointed that he couldnt go swimming, as the minimum age is 3 years. However this is an understandable safety concern. Just keep it in mind if you have a little one that enjoys the water.

Plussat: Great location! Easy access to bus lines and subways. The bathroom is quite large relative to the room size. Effective use of space. They can store your luggage for you free of charge if you arrive early. I did this and it was a huge lifesaver.

Miinukset: No minibar, but I never use that stuff anyway.

Plussat: Quality breakfast at reduced rate (20% off)

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Outstanding hotel in a great location. Well worth the money. Staff were amazing. Rooms were fantastic and facilities excellent. Close to Gion Area & restaurants and great breakfast cafe next door. $12 cab ride from Kyoto station is a no brainer as subway is a nightmare.

Plussat: Good location for shopping and eating and close to Sanjo train station.

Miinukset: No top sheet on beds and quilt too thick

Plussat: Best hotel I’ve stayed in Japan so far... Hospitality is great and very thoughtful, got a gift for our honeymoon

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Very nice hotel. Highly recommended from a world traveler.

Plussat: Hotelli sijaitsi hyvällä, lyhyen kävelyetäisyyden päässä shoppailupaikoista sekä metroasemasta.

Miinukset: Ei moitittavaa

Plussat: Location was excellent and the map provided very informative for main sites.

Miinukset: Found the bed a little hard and the room a bit dated but very comfortable otherwise.

Plussat: It's fine for a three star, but you are paying for five star which it doesn't live up to.

Miinukset: It's tricky one hostess was very helpful and another one yelled at us for canceling a cab, it was very strange. The beds are so hard, it was terrible. Also they don't have a bag room so the lobby is absolutely filled with bags because of all the tour groups. Also bar extremely overpriced. Overall it is extremely overpriced for what you get. Use that same amount and go stay in one of the traditional hotels in the cute part of town.

Plussat: Very helpful staff and always extend help.

Miinukset: Not enough area to mount clothing. Hanger area a bit crampy.

Plussat: The location just across the street from Kyoto station was fabulous. Also close to shopping and some of the major sights. The bed was good and firm. They had CNN on TV.

Miinukset: The room was tiny, with one side of the double bed touching the wall. Still, we managed. Although we specifically required a non smoking room we were assigned a smoking room. At our demand we were assigned another room which felt cleaner with no sign of smoking, but it was still a smoking room on a smoking floor. The room was clean, but the carpet at the front desk was very stained and should be cleaned or replaced. There was no breakfast.

Plussat: The location

Miinukset: The room size

Plussat: Room is clean and hotel very near bus and train station.

Miinukset: Nil

Plussat: Great location, which is important in this area, room was a little bigger than the average basic efficiency hotel, very clean.

Miinukset: No USB ports in room, didn't care for the bathroom/shower set up, light on A/C unit lights up the rom at night

Plussat: Convenience, right across JR station.

Miinukset: Room is too small to move around.

Plussat: The location is the best feature of this hotel. The front desk staff were friendly and spoke English well.

Miinukset: Beyond the lobby, the rooms themselves seemed somewhat run down. This is the first hotel I've stayed at in a long time where I had an actual key to open my room rather than a card. The room itself was adequate though somewhat charmless.

Miinukset: Didn't like the Japanese Style breakfast.

Plussat: Bed Size Room Size Lobby Staff

Miinukset: AC system is horrible

Plussat: Staff were very friendly. Shuttle bus to the train station a pleasant bonus

Miinukset: Prices of room service food way too expensive for what you get. Bathroom was not clean. Hotel is showing its age as rooms need modernising.

Plussat: The staff were very attentive in greeting us. Although I understand in Japan it is common place to greet people in such a manner, it felt sincere and considerate within the hotel. In addition the attention to detail in the room (both in arrival and with the daily turn down) was excellent.

Miinukset: I could say the price, but I would be biased. It was in fact good value for money. The only thing I missed during my stay was a cup of tea, due to lack of milk. Cream/ powdered milk isn’t the same. This is the only issue, and it’s a very minor one.

Plussat: Great pillows! We walked 1.5km along different small street routes to station mostly but regular bus to Kyoto station a great service especially in the rain. Drip coffee sachets in room very nice way to start the morning. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Plussat: We got the chance to book at a good rate which actually does not correspond to its real segment. Usually rate for this hotel is sheraton segment (150 euros++). We benefit from undisturbed renovation leaded in this hotel, which downward the rate. Max benefit, thank you. Very good hotel.

Plussat: I enjoy my stay a lot.

Plussat: Loved this hotel! Met all our needs nice sized rooms.

Plussat: The fantastic architecture with its central atrium around the lobby made it such a tranquil place to return to every day. The gift shop was excellent too, with higher quality souvenirs than most other shops.

Miinukset: The mattresses were a bit too firm for us, however this seems to be the case for all the hotels we stayed in. The location is not too bad, however there was nothing of interest close to the hotel, such as restaurants or shops to walk to. The hotel did offer a shuttle bus to the station where there are a few restaurants and shops though.

Plussat: Great location by station and excellent value

Miinukset: No view, but not a problem

Plussat: Great location right next two Kyoto JR station. We could get there via the underground subway so we didn't get wet when it was raining. Clean room with the best shower of our stay.

Miinukset: We asked for a queen bed in our room but the rooms are so small, one side of the bed had to be pushed against the wall, which made it hard for one of us to get in and out of the bed.

Plussat: Very comfortable and modern room, with very good amenities. Very clean and cozy. The staff is also very helpful and kind. The location is great

Miinukset: Small room, but nothing different from the standard for big hotel chains.

Plussat: Olisi kiva, jos henkilökunta puhuisi edes auttavasti muuta kuin japania. Myös kaikki materiaali huoneessa oli vain japaniksi. Erinomaisella paikalla. Hyvä hotelli, huone aika pieni.

Plussat: The room we had was somewhat tight, not enough room for baggage in our case.

Miinukset: Convenient to station and bus services.

Plussat: Good choice

Plussat: I love the room we upgraded to. Super modern, clean and beautiful Amazing staff super friendly

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Helpful and friendly staff. Room was good size.

Miinukset: A bit difficult to find from the main train station but eventually found it!

Plussat: Location of the property is fantastic only 2 mins walk from the train and bus station, reception and concierge staff were super friendly and just unbelievably helpful, the bed was really comfortable, clean rooms and a great selection for their breakfast buffet

Miinukset: The room sizes were a little small and the only other complaint I would have is that part way through our stay they changed from a breakfast buffet to a served breakfast due to issues around corona virus and while the choice of breakfast was still there the service was completely disappointing- often we would get coffee but no milk was brought with it by the time someone turned up with milk the coffee was cold, part of our breakfast would be served and we’d be waiting for the remaining breakfast to turn up so you couldn’t eat all the things you wanted to eat together. We were given vegetarian breakfast tickets, but that didn’t seem to mean anything to the waiting staff as every morning where breakfast was served rather than buffet style someone would bring a selection of meats to our table which we would have to send away. I completely understand that the issues around corona virus and the guidance from the Japanese government has thrown everyone - however there are some basic standards that the hotel should have considered training restaurant staff on.

Plussat: Good room and comfortable bed. Just great facilities and a good location. The staff were so gracious and polite too

Plussat: The staff were excellent, breakfast was very good, the room was more than adequate and we enjoyed our stay there.

Plussat: Proximity to Tokyo Station (shinkansen, short train to Arashiyama), close to some good breakfast/coffee spots (Lorimer, Walden Woods), good WiFi, nice comfy duvet and pillows

Miinukset: It is quite a distance from Higashiyama/Gion/Philosopher's Path etc. but we knew this prior to booking. We booked as it looked like a good option for business purposes

Plussat: Great location

Miinukset: Rooms are old and over-rated, furniture and carpet is dirty. This is a 3 - 3.5 star hotel, not a 4 star.

Plussat: The rooms are beautiful, and the beds are so comfortable. The staff cannot do enough for you, they are just so friendly and helpful. We stayed for our honeymoon and my birthday, and so they left a flower in our room, and a hand made card. Such a lovely touch! And only a stone’s throw from Kyoto station and Kyoto Tower.

Plussat: Beautiful hotel around the corner from the train station. One of the best hotels of our trip in Japan.

Plussat: Location Room size English speaking staff Very clean

Miinukset: 3rd bed for a 3rd person is pull out couch & very hard. Although, I was very happy they even had a 3 person room, so it's not that much of a negative.

Plussat: Great location next to station - a short walk to bus & metro. Very helpful & polite staff.

Miinukset: Hotel decor is a little dated.

Miinukset: breakfast expancive, hoor and unteasty

Plussat: Very comfy beds and the staff were extremely helpful.

Miinukset: The only reason I've rated the comfort as "fair" is because it was excessively hot and therefore difficult to sleep. The air-conditioning, although being able to be turned down to 18 degrees was on heat mode throughout the entire hotel. Then, when it was off in your room, the air was extremely dry. Made the stay a little uncomfortable.

Plussat: We had a spacious room with a very comfortable bed. The Cafe in the lobby served a delicious Green Tea Puff Pastry There is a beautiful view of Kyoto from the Restaurant on the top floor. The breakfast/brunch was amazing.

Plussat: Location was excellent, close to making shopping area. Big room for Japanese standard.

Miinukset: Staff not very friendly. Limited English with some staff. Concierge overwhelmed with people. Perhaps 2 at the desk would help. Very strict check out policy. Was not given a copy of my bill because I made the reservation over KAyak.

Plussat: The Hotel is located close to Downtown Kyoto and Pontocho street and we got the top floor room which faced the river and had a beautiful view of the city The staff were very helpful and kind especially the concierge who helped us with taxi bookings and guided us to places to see

Miinukset: Nothing that I can recall

Miinukset: Okura was listed as luxury, which it was far from. We ended up not staying here after checking in as the rooms were not like they looked on the website and nothing about this hotel was luxury. It’s a very basic business hotel - oversized and questionable on cleanliness.

Plussat: We loved staying here. My only complaint is that it cost additional money to use the pool, if you chose to use the pool, and more importantly, that you had to be 18 years old to use the pool at all. My wife and I were traveling with our 9-year-old daughter, so none of used the pool because our daughter was too young. This was a huge downer, because Kyoto is very hot in August and we would have welcomed being able to cool off in the pool. By contrast, the hotel we stayed at in Tokyo (The Park Hyatt) had no age restrictions on pool usage (or usage fees) and we used the pool twice a day. Other than the disappointment about the pool, the Kyoto Hotel Okura was a total delight and perfectly located and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating, and the free shuttle too and from Kyoto Station was a welcome surprise.

Miinukset: The pool cost money to use. And you need to be at least 18 to use it. This was a huge disappointment since we were traveling with our daughter, who is 9.

Plussat: We spent two periods at the Hotel Okura, a week at the beginning of our Japan trip and then another five nights at the end. For us (my wife and I), it turned out to be the perfect choice of hotel for a number of reasons. We were in two different rooms for our two stays, firstly a room on the seventh floor and then subsequently a room on the eleventh floor. Both rooms were excellent with wonderful views out in the direction of the Kamo River. The location of the hotel is excellent, being near to the Kawaramachi-dori shopping area where there are many excellent stores and restaurants. It is also just a short walk from Pontocho-dori which may seem dull during the day but comes alive at night, when it is wonderful experience just to walk along and enjoy the lights. Again, the hotel is just a 10-15 minute walk to Gion which is totally magical, particularly in the evening and at night. (And, yes, we did see real geisha/maiko both in Gion and on the Pontocho-dori). Finally, I should add that the hotel buffet breakfast (included in the cost of the room for us) was outstanding, being a wide mixture of delicious Japanese, Chinese and Western foods.

Miinukset: The windows in the bedroom could not be opened. It would have been nice to have let in some nice fresh air. Other than that, everything was excellent.

Plussat: Why?

Plussat: Property was very clean, and everything looked new and well kept. Staff was welcoming, polite and really helpful. Great location too! Will come back to hotel when in Kyoto again!

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Lovely staff, very helpful. Hotel seemed oriented towards the business traveller and more for the older Japanese population. That said, it was a very good, very comfortable hotel. Good value!

Plussat: Location

Plussat: Spacious bathroom

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: The air conditioner in our room was broken. They couldn't fix it and offered no compensation for it. The rooms and main hallways were stuffy and filled with smoke.

Plussat: It is conveniently located for shopping and public transportation. Service is excellent.

Miinukset: There is nothing I did not like about the hotel. I would love to stay again!!!

Plussat: Excellent location spacious rooms accommodating staff

Miinukset: Lower floor rooms needs refurbishing

Plussat: I appreciate the position and the room comfort

Plussat: Very clean, with very hospitable staff in central city location, Easy walking to lots of shopping and to subway and train stations. Many restaurants in the atrea with first class restaurants in the hotel.

Plussat: location

Miinukset: bathroom decor outdated, bedding a bit too hard

Plussat: Very comfortable and of high standard

Miinukset:

Plussat: My husband and I found the staff to be absolutely fantastic. They were always very helpful and made our staf in Kyoto very memorable.

Miinukset:

Plussat: This is the most luxury hotel in Kyoto. Everyone will stay there will have the best room and best service for sure!!

Miinukset:

Plussat: Very convenient , 7-eleven ,Family Mart , bakery and lots of food all within walking distance . Huge room enough for 2 adults , 2 teenagers and 4 large luggage! We chose the Japanese style room and it was fun doing up our own beds! Will definitely recommend this hotel.

Miinukset: All good!

Plussat: Great hotel! Clean, comfortable, friendly and good location! Would definitely stay here again!

Plussat: The hotel provided a map showing the locations of nearby places for breakfast. The map also showed the bus stops with the bus line to major attractions in Kyoto. The location of the hotel was great, with restaurants and shops nearby.

Miinukset: The room was a little small, but that is not surprising for Japan. I did not like having to step up to the bathroom.

Plussat: Very close to the subway station and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Tiny room and the dryer didn't work in their laundry room.

Plussat: The location was superb with shops and the Nishiki Market just nearby. Good size room and cozy. Staffs are friendly and helpful.

Plussat: Fantastic location right in the shopping and eating centre of Kyoto. New rooms and of reasonable size (south tower) Great staff who are very friendly Highly recommended to stay here.

Miinukset: Nothing to note.

Plussat: Location is sensational, rooms well set out, staff exceptional, in house DIY laundry

Miinukset: All great

Plussat: Hyvä ja viihtyisä lähiympäristö. Ostoskadut vieressä, mm. kuuluisa Nishiki Market. Ruokapaikkoja pilvin pimein. Lyhyt matka mm. Gyonin geisha-alueelle ja moneen muuhun

Plussat: Next to shopping, transport, restaurants and several attractions. Staff and cleaners communicate in English, friendly and efficient. Thank you! Room has separate areas for toilet, sink, bathroom and bedroom with a sliding door, spacious and good value for money.

Miinukset: Only a news channel in English. Please include free cable or paid TV in English. Thank you!

Plussat: Ystävällinen henkilökunta, keskeinen sijainti

Miinukset: Pienehkö huone, hinta laatu suhde

Plussat: Hotellin sijainti oli erinomainen. Se että wc ja kylpyhuone olivat erikseen oli plussaa. Huoneemme oli pohjoistornin ylimmässä kerroksessa ja siellä oli hyvin rauhallista. Tänne haluan tulla uudestaan.

Miinukset: Double roomissa oli yöpöytä ja -valo vain toisella puolella sänkyä. Toinen yöpyjistä oli niitä ilman. Tämä oli suuri puute!

Plussat: Cleaness

Miinukset: The location is not good.

Plussat: Gorgeous hotel

Miinukset: Everything was great

Plussat: Hotelli oli hienompi kuin olin etukäteen kuvitellut. Se oli tyylikäs ja siisti. Huone oli juuri ja juuri riittävän kokoinen isojen matkalaukkujen kanssa matkustavalle pariskunnalle. Siinä oli sekä parveke, että minijääkaappi, jotka olivat valintakriteerejäni. Myös wi-fi toimi moitteettomasti. Sijainti oli loistava vain muutaman minuutin kävelymatkan päässä Kioto-stationilta ja silti rauhallinen. Aamiainen olisi maksanut 2300 jeniä, joten nuukina luonteina emme sitä kokeilleet. Hotellissa oli myös kylpylä. Kysyimme siitä muilta vierailta, jotka kertoivat veden olevan japanilaiseen tyyliin kuumaa. Koska vierailuaikaan oli 36 asteen helle, ei ylimääräinen hikoilu houkuttanut.

Miinukset: Menimme aina vähän eri aikaan nukkumaan, mutta emme keksineet, miten yöpöytälamput olisi voinut sammuttaa erikseen. Onneksi oli silmäsuojat mukana.

Plussat: Hotel is close to the trains, close to a reliable taxi company, and has amazing facilities. Some of the best accomodations for the price I have ever had.

Plussat: - Free drink (alcohol or soft) for every guest in the evening was a nice touch - we liked enjoying our drinks by the open-air fireplace - Free tea/coffee in the mornings for every guest - Nice interior design in communal areas - Great location for taking trains from Kyoto station e.g. to Arashiyama or Nara

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: Hotelli tarjosi enemmän kuin mitä olimme osanneet odottaa! Joka ilta baarissa oli tarjolla tervetuliaisjuoma (welcoming cocktail), aulassa oli ilmaiseksi kahvia ja teetä koko ajan tarjolla ja onsen-kylpylä oli tasokas (naisten puolella suolasauna, "shampoobaari" ja lämmin poreallas). Lisäksi hotellissa oli mukavan näköinen pieni ravintola, jossa emme kuitenkaan ehtineet käymään. Sisustus oli moderni ja kekseliäs. Sijainti rautatieaseman vieressä oli ihanteellinen, sillä Kioton nähtävyydet ovat hajallaan ja niihin kaikkiin pääsi junalla kätevästi.

Plussat: It takes only 5 minutes walk to the Kyoto sta., and there are many kinds of choices for breakfast from bread to Japanese style miso soup.

Plussat: Everything from the reasonable room size for a Japanese hotel (we went for the King North Terrace which was one of the bigger rooms), complimentary drink at night including reasonable quality spirits, wine etc., live music at night, leisure areas with comfortable seating, complimentary beverages (on ground floor) with a range of coffees to choose from etc., a reasonable buffet breakfast with enough choices to cater for western dining,free washing machines and dryers and it is very close to the station and the bus terminal.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Henkilökunta oli pääosin erittäin ystävällistä. Huone oli siisti, mutta yleisistä tiloista ei voi sanoa samaa. Aamiaisella erittäin hyvä: laaja tarjonta hyvin valmistettuja suolaisia ja makeita tuotteita.

Miinukset: Sisäänkirjautumisen hoitanut miespuolinen reseptionisti oli joko puutteellisesti koulutettu taikka tarkoituksellisesti epäkohtelias. En tiedä, kummasta oli kysymys. Hotelli sijaitsee rautatieaseman eteläpuolella, kun nähtävyydet ovat taas pääosin pohjoispuolella.

Plussat: This was a great hotel located right near the central station. You get a free drink of your choice from the bar every night. The rooms are really nice and staff very friendly. The hotel restaurant is also very good.

Plussat: This place is amazing - super close to the central rail services, so many food options - staff were amazing

Miinukset: Nothing - keep it up team

Plussat: Food

Miinukset: Noting

Plussat: Yes the room was quite small but had everything required. Great toiletries toothbrushes etc. Very pleasant staff willing to answer questions & loads of hand sanitizers everywhere. There was free coffee & tea all day they also provided takeaway cups so we could take it to our room. you also got 1 free drink every evening alcohol was included and they had a lovely area with fire pits to relax after a long day sightseeing & someone playing music. All in all we felt the best hotel we stayed at in Japan although we still have 3nts in Tokyo left. If we were returning to Kyoto i would definitely stay here again.

Miinukset: Can’t think of anything

Plussat: The location of hotel is very convenient, because it is near to Kyoto train station. As a tourist, you can use easily way to take bus, JR, and so on. Thus, you can save many time to find route and transfer.

Plussat: The location is very convenient, room is big with comfy pillows. The most important was a staff at the cloakroom, Kan-San, left an indelible impact about true Japanese service culture. Mr Kan not only helped me contact the bus company of which I left a bag and jacket behind when I disembarked, he actually accompanied and showed me the way to the office to claim back my stuff

Miinukset: Could improve on providing coffee in the room, only green tea was provided.

Plussat: Bed is big

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: the location was great, just outside of Kyoto Station, you can basically go anywhere in best convenience

Miinukset: there's nothing really I didn't like about the hotel itself(in fact it's already my second stay here), but I gotta say there's nothing much to do in Kyoto in the nights, maybe that's just because I didn't found the right place to go?......

Plussat: Very convenient location. Just at the opposite side to the Kyoto station, which made us could go everywhere we’d like to through train, bus and underground. The staff and service were good.

Plussat: Right across the street from central train station. The room we got was a nice size. The hotel is a tad dated but perfect for a few days in Kyoto. Location is fantastic and reasonable price. We were happy!

Plussat: The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was great, right next to Kyoto station. They stored our luggage for us before we checked in and also after we checked out, so it saved us having to rent a locker at the station.

Plussat: Luksushotelli hyvällä sijainnilla.

Miinukset: Aamupala, hotellin oma kylpylä ja muut palvelut todella kalliita.

Plussat: The location was superb and gave great access to local attractions like the Imperial Palace and the market. All staff were very helpful and friendly. They gave us great advise about how to get to attractions, bus routes etc.

Miinukset: The room view wasn’t very good but that it is to be expected in a central city centre hotel. The lack of view did not detract from our stay

Plussat: Hotel Monterey Kyoto is located near Gion, the main shopping area in Kyoto, and walking distance to Maruyuma Park, Pontocho Alley, and Nishiki Market. It is a block from the Karasuma Oike station, which is only a few stops from the Kyoto Station. As a tourist, this hotel is well located, considering many of the temples are best reached via bus. Our room felt extremely clean with modern decor. Though space was tight, it was manageable for two people. Everyone we spoke to was very accommodating, polite and helpful. We never heard sounds coming from other rooms.

Miinukset: No complaints!

Plussat: Hot spa

Miinukset: Shower pressure not strong, take a while for the car pick up and shaking noise from the the spirit air con.

Plussat: Very convenient location for sight-seeing & restaurants. And they have a parking.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location is pretty good. It’s easy to go to Kyoto station by tube, to Arashimaya by Hankyu, Kiyomizu temple, Yasaka shrine, Liver Kamo on foot.

Plussat: Everything. Especially staffs are awesome.

Miinukset: No microwave.

Plussat: Convenient and more regular size rooms and bathrooms than other similar hotels in japan. Good selection for breakfast.

Plussat: Mahtava sijainti Kioton rautatieaseman vieressä. Yhden hengen huone oli pieni mutta siisti ja rauhallinen. Perushotelli josta oli hyvä lähteä seikkailemaan eri puolille Kiotoa.

Plussat: Location and staff

Miinukset: Size of room . Very small.

Plussat: The best location for travellers!

Plussat: The hotel is right across from the train station. The room provides all the basic necessities in a very tight space. The bed was comfortable and the hotel was quiet at night to provide a good night sleep.

Miinukset: The room seemed overpriced and the seller required the room be paid in advanced with a poor cancellation policy. The next time I book a room in Kyoto I will look further in advance and check the fine print better.

Plussat: I took an airport limousine bus from Itami Airport, the bus stop in front the hotel. Few step away Nakau Restaurant open 24 hours . Next to the hotel, taxi stop. JR Kyoto station just across the street. Location Excellent.

Miinukset: The aircon for heater only.

Plussat: Near Kyoto JR Station

Miinukset: The room was so hit & stuffy. I had to ask for a coole And use of a working air conditioning.

Plussat: Nice no-nonsense place to stay in Kyoto to explore the city and surroundings. Conveniently located right next to Kyoto Station.

Miinukset: Booked two separate rooms for 4 people in total. Both rooms seemed to have the same issue with the air conditioning which kept blowing warm air even though it set was to 17 °C. Nothing an open window can not fix, but you might have trouble sleeping because of the traffic lights.

Plussat: Convenient location, close to Kyoto train station

Miinukset: Very noisy, there’s no noise insulation in the building. Defeat the purpose of hotel as a place to relax and unwind

Plussat: Normaali.Tila muistutti työmaaruokalaa joka on liian ahdas.

Miinukset: Huone oli aivan liian pieni. Yritimme vaihtaa suurempaan, ei ollut vapaana. huoneessa ei mahtunut liikkumaan kuin 1 henkilö kerralla, toisen piti olla sängyssä. matkalaukuille tai vaatteille ei ollut tilaa. Tuskaista asua kuin komerossa.
