Location! Location! Location! Close to many shopping areas and Gion and a hop and skip to a subway. There also a wonderful Kimono rental shop nearby called Akuru! Above and beyond staff: I lost my JR Pass (had to get the green car one as I have pneumonia and cannot take smoke or smoking smells) and the front desk staff found it! All the staff was really friendly and helpful. Sure the room is a bit outdated but it was clean and loved all the little things they provided in the room like super fluffy bath robes, bath salts, qtips, etc. Anyhow place was so good we extended our stay and was able to nab one of the few ones left. Next time I’m in Kyoto, I’m staying at this hotel for longer than the 3 nights.

This is a 3 star hotel, the property is very very outdated with musty smell in the rooms. Not a great value for the money, in my opinion. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel, the lobby looks grand and expensive, but the rooms are not clean and are run down. Location is very good. Gym is not free, which is very unusual. Service is fine.

Excellent--and very good value if booked far ahead

Our check-in was tremendous: the woman there was so efficient, gracious and kind and her English was perfect. All Japanese hotels maintain a high standard, but the Okura is in a category all its own. And the room is comfortable, and graced with a lovely view.
