This is a very unique hotel - with clean and very small rooms. It is worth the money, has good options for room service, a beautiful walking area, and has a cool and unique vibe with vinyl record players in the room. It is not fancy - more of a minimalist, eco-friendly and a “millennial” hang-out spot.

The Ace Hotel was overall amazing. Very clean and spacious rooms especially for Japan. The shower pressure and shower room was great. Hotel is one block from the subway line which makes it very convenient when getting to Kyoto attractions. The restaurants in the hotel were also great but a bit pricey. The only warning I would give to travelers is the loud music from the lobby. It is obviously a the Ace Hotel’s vibe, but seemed a bit odd to have a loud DJ in the lobby while people were working on laptops. You can’t hear it from the rooms or anything, just a bit much when you go from the quiet Kyoto streets to music blasting. Overall, the Ace Hotel was a phenomenal stay and we would not hesitate booking there again!

Nicely designed property in a good location HOWEVER the cleaning (or lack of) of the room was unacceptable, when reported to the front desk, their response too was unacceptable. We were considering to stay longer but after our bad experience (2 nights, 2 rooms) decided to go somewhere else. For the price- go somewhere else, really not worth it!
