The hotel is very close to the Kamo River, and it's conveniently located on a main road, making it easy to get to the bustling commercial area. The facilities are relatively new and pleasant to look at. However, the dinner for the hotel's 'one night, two meals' plan was too small; we had to order extra dishes to feel full! Overall, we were quite satisfied!

The hotel's location is excellent, just a hundred meters from five subway exits. It's super convenient to get to Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Sannenzaka/Ninenzaka, and Kamo River is right outside the door for a stroll. The room was quite spacious, with a corner sofa and a separate toilet and shower. When I stayed, it seemed like the hotel was fully booked with many guests, but the service remained very organized. Especially at breakfast, there was hardly any waiting, and if I needed anything, the front desk was quick to assist.

Has a very Western vibe, with foreign staff members. The breakfast is quite refined, and it's very convenient to walk to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Kamo River, and Gion. The subway station is right at the entrance.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, offering convenient transportation with a subway station and Kamo River just a few minutes' walk away. There's a convenience store right opposite the hotel, and Goryo and Takashimaya department store are within walking distance for easy shopping.

The staff especially Joseph were friendly and helpful. The room was big and comfortable with a lovely touch of Japan with sliding shoji screen door and windows. It was nice and quiet our room being at back of hotel. Walking distance to Gion and kiyomizu temple. Approx 15 to 20 mins.

A highly recommended hotel with a lovely Japanese aesthetic. The location is superb: the subway station is just a few steps from the entrance, and it's not far from major shopping districts, including Takashimaya. With a 7-Eleven and FamilyMart right across the street, convenience is unparalleled. The service was impeccable. While the rooms are not huge, they don't feel cramped at all. The ice machine on the ground floor was a fantastic amenity – absolutely perfect for enjoying with a cold beer!

An utterly terrible experience. I'm unsure if this is a hotel's ploy or a platform's trap, but I truly never imagined that dinner at a Hilton wouldn't be a buffet and would only come with a 5500 JPY allowance. This allowance is barely enough for anything, and anything extra needs to be paid for out of pocket! I'm beyond frustrated! For such a major brand hotel chain to offer dinner with a spending limit instead of a buffet – I feel completely ripped off! The room amenities were also very basic, only marginally bigger than a standard hotel room. If you're visiting Kyoto, avoid staying here, as the transportation is also inconvenient!

Response from Property: Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We apologize for any confusion regarding the menu format or inclusions for your dinner set. Our dinner set offers a fixed amount of 5,500 yen per guest, with the option of choosing from an à la carte or set menu; it is not a buffet. We understand that there may have been some inadequate information during the reservation process, and we will continue to improve this information. We also regret that you were not satisfied with the room and location. We will discuss your feedback with our team to optimize the experience for future guests. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back to Kyoto and providing us with the opportunity to provide you with even better hospitality.

Great service, increíble English, hotel felt traditional yet modern. There’s public baths separated by gender if you want that experience. And best of all they give you a warm free cookie and a yukata pajama you can wear in your room (I was really tempted to buy afterwards). Truly recommended so far my favorite hotel in Kyoto.

Location is great, walkablr distance to 清水寺。The hotel is right next to a subway station, tho the line does not go thru Kyoto JR. Facilities at the hotel are good, gym and Japanese bath area is included. Watet machine provides still and sparkling water, couple with sealed clean glass bottle for you to bring back to room. Room is spacious for 2 easily.
