We enjoyed 4 days in Kyoto at this amazing hotel located at Kyoto Station. This is a seriously impressive facility with several dining and shopping options within the hotel itself. As it is connected to the main Kyoto Station there are countless additional food and shopping options, as well as the convenience of being at the main station for the city. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was continuously restocked with water, coffee, tea, and touletry supplies if needed. The room was fabulous and, as expected, spotlessly clean. You cannot go wrong here if you are looking to stay in central Kyoto and want easy access to just about any shopping or dining experience.

A Mixed Bag - Gem in Need of a Makeover

Chose this hotel based on travel guide recommendation--overall a good hotel, but it's showing its age/wear. I stayed in a 2-"twin-bed" room, non-smoking. The pictures on Hotels.com were fairly clear that the bathroom was a little more dated than the king-bed rooms, and they were accurate. However, I wasn't prepared for how dingy the carpet was nor the walls which were in need of some paint touch-ups. The bed was firm enough and the linen was fine, but I would not consider them four-star quality. That said, the service was amazing--especially the concierge, who was so knowledgeable and seemed to have a map to direct me to every area I could imagine. I was a little concerned about being right in the train station, but barely heard any noise from the tracks and that tapered off during the night. Being close to the JR, subway, and Shinkasen were all huge pluses. Ate dinner one night in the Cafe because it was easy to do the night I had a business conference call. Didn't try the buffet, which looked quite extensive, but the a la carte beef curry I ordered was mediocre (especially for the price). The pool/jacuzzi at the hotel were great (though required an additional charge--why wasn't it included) and the rest of the gym was quite small/inadequate given they were asking a fee. Since I was traveling alone, it met my needs but don't think I'd stay there again. Th
