This place is truly an experience. Amazing customer service, specifically by Daisake. The rooms are incredibly comfortable and clean. Rooms with access to the lounge give you access to light appetizers and cocktails for a few hours in the afternoon. The downside of this is it is so good it is easy to just have that for dinner and miss all of the amazing food in Kyoto.

We spent 4 nights at the hotel and we love the staff from reception desk to the breakfast area and special lounge. I will definitely return to this delightful hotel. It is also located at a great place in Kyoto and many activities are walkable distance. Hotel personnel is really looking for the most to help you. After a bad fall in a tour, when I returned to the hotel, they provided big I e-pockets which helped much. Thank you Fauchon for this wonderful memories you helped us create. To the next time!

Excellent Excellent Excellent 6 🌟

I’ve been to 53 countries in the 🌏. I was very impressed with this hotel. First starters , the location of the hotel is perfect. It’s centrally located to everything (walking distance to major shops, old town etc. the room is spacious with a huge comfortable bed. Upon every arrival you’re greeted with a hand towel and a bottle of water (brutal summer months) The STAFF is amazing. They go above and beyond to make sure the client is taken care of. Every single need of mine was met with no complains. I have to give a HUGE thanks to Jin . She’s of the front desk managers. I can’t explain the measures she went through for me to get all of the things I needed. From Baccarat items to last minute dinner reservations. The hotel should be grateful to have her as an employee and I hope whoever reads this message from the hotel will acknowledge her accordingly. Also, thanks to the other manager (male) I can’t remember his name at the moment however, he was always amazing in assisting with client relations. He recommended a few places to visit in Osaka. Lastly, the hotel restaurant is superb. Excellent breakfast and lunch. They also have a small shop downstairs upon entering the hotel. I would definitely recommend this hotel. I’m actually looking forward to staying here upon my next visit to Kyoto. Thank You hotel Fauchon and keep up the excellent customer service.

Wonderful stay at Fauchon L’Hotel Kyoto

The staff and service were great! Breakfast was included and it was delicious. It was great having the gourmet bar in the room to enjoy afternoon tea/coffee with cookies or a madeleine. We loved the location as it’s within walking distance of Nishiki Market, Takashimaya, Gion, a few temples and restaurants. We will definitely stay at the Fauchon L’Hotel again!
