THE GATE HOTEL Hotels in Kyoto

Big thank you to Sayako - perfect check in customer service - friendly and warm. Also thank you to the hotel and team for making it a memorable trip for myself and my parents. They remembered it was my mum’s birthday and prepared swan towels and during lunch prepared a happy birthday message on the dessert (do not have photo on this phone). Really appreciate the thoughtfulness. And thank you for upgrading my room to better view. Good: - Service was exceptional for my stay. - Location as others have mentioned is one of the best hotels in Kyoto - near the station you get off from Osaka - outside cherry blossom canal - near shopping - brought my suit for friends wedding day before just 5 mins away - Room size is good and clean - chair was stained but they replaced it when I mentioned it. - Espresso machine - under appreciated by other hotels but big hit with my dad - very nice touch - TV had screen casting from phone Nothing bad to really say just below points for travellers. - Paid over 10k HKD for 3 nights - to be expected at cherry blossom peak season - Have to ensure you are above 6F for a good view - Foot steps above for my particular room (end room 3 beds) was noticeably bad - hotel really needs to fix this - The shower bath door need to install feature to turn it opaque - 3 beds is usually family and showering is awkward with glass window - No spa or pool. The amenities in the hotel are lacking.
