"I liked how close it was to the train staion"

"Kyoto Brighton was a high quality hotel our family stayed at during the second half of our Japan trip. One thing that really impressed us was the staff's friendliness and professionalism - very respectful and bowing during each greeting. The hotel was very spacious and the rooms and bathrooms were large to accommodate us 4 comfortably. Location was good - just far enough from the busyness, and they offer a shuttle service which we used multiple times (convenient). The Hotel was right next to the Kyoto Imperial Palace which was beautiful and relaxing place to relax and walk. There is a controlled entry into the main palace areas but it is free and worth the time to visit. We loved how the hotel had different housekeeping options (i.e. trash, towels, supplies only, no making beds, etc...)- all we had to do was pick the options and hang the doortag on the handle. Only thing was that they didn't have laundry machines to do laundry but instead had dry clean/laundry service which was additional costs. We ended up walking 8 minutes to a laundromat which was fine with us. Overall great experience and appreciate the high quality hotel and staff."

"New, beautiful hotel in an excellent location in Kyoto. Close to bars, restaurants and the lovely Pontocho Alley. We had a club premium room which was a good size, great amenities, a super comfy bed and the most quiet air con and great black out blinds. The club lounge was good, a nice breakfast and cocktail time. Good, friendly service. We really enjoyed the hotel, only let down for us was the roof top bar. No menus on the table, and had to order and pick up from the bar yourself, no huge issue normally, but drink and food prices were high and setting could and should have enabled table service. Such a shame was one of the reasons we booked the hotel…. But a minor issue overall. A lovely, well located hotel which would recommend if staying in Kyoto. "
