Hotels With Spa in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

This was our favourite hotel in Japan. The location is very central to Kyoto, but did not feel too crowded and overwhelming. It was very easy to get around Kyoto from this hotel, with a lot of train stations close by. The room was clean and bigger than most hotels I’ve stayed in during my trip to Japan. The finishes of the room are just gorgeous. It really feels like luxury. The smart TVs were a nice touch too. The amenities of the spa were really good, and I loved the extra feeling of security knowing women receive a women only key card and men receive a separate one. Nice touch having washers, dryers and vending machines too. The staff are kind and polite and are more than happy to assist you. Although I did find the self check-in a bit confusing - some translations were a bit off. Regardless, I really recommend this hotel.

The biggest drawback was the size of the room for the price we paid. We could not even open our suitcases on the floor. There is no water in your room, you have to go downstairs to have a drink of water. Do not have breakfast there, it's too expensive (if you cannot eat everything) . There is a supermarket (LIFE) a few meters away with a very nice bakery. The hotel do however have all the toiletries available next to reception counter. Also coffee in the mornings from 6.30am with water and juice. A sauna and a hot pool, but you have to be in your *************. Not suitable for everyone. I enjoyed our bathroom the most, as the shower was amazing.

The hotel staff are friendly and helpful, and there is good information about staying in Kyoto. Everything is exceptionally clean and the rooms comfortable. The sento is nice. There is a gym, too, but this has an additional charge to use which is a shame. The hotel is located centrally, but it is a walk of several blocks to the nearest metro station. Buses run regularly nearby, and it is also a pretty good spot from which to walk around the city or to JR Kyoto.

The front desk had English-speaking staff who were very proactive and helpful with check-in. Unfortunately, that person wasn't there during check-out, and the others weren't as good. The hygiene was excellent, and the location is great, right next to Kyoto Station with a convenience store downstairs and a large department store across the street. However, the breakfast experience was really bad. It was too crowded, and we had to queue for a long time to get food. The seating area was also quite far from the serving station. They should really consider staggered dining times.

The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast here was fantastic, with a great variety and delicious food, especially the late-night soy sauce – it was amazing! The hot springs were absolutely top-notch, with large pools and several different ones to choose from. The hotel's location is excellent and convenient for transportation. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip.

The hotel service was excellent, and the premises were spotlessly clean. Its location was also very convenient for travel. I particularly enjoyed the artificial carbonated bath, which was very clean and great for relieving travel fatigue; even the toiletries were from premium brands. This stay also included a complimentary trial size of Decorté serum, which was a lovely bonus. The hotel staff were incredibly patient and helpful with all my inquiries. Furthermore, they provide washing machines, a thoughtful convenience for travelers, and vending machines are available on almost every floor. I would definitely choose this hotel again for my next visit to Kyoto.

I really loved this hotel. The facilities are very new and have an artistic flair – I really enjoyed the style! The rooms are also quite spacious, which is a rare find. The hotel's location is a tranquil oasis amidst a bustling area, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. You can pretty much walk to all the shopping you need, and there are some great local boutiques nearby that are fun to browse. There's also a subway station close by, so getting to further places or coming from Osaka isn't much hassle at all. Overall, it's pretty ideal! The only thing is that breakfast is à la carte. The taste is decent, but the options are quite limited, maybe just four or five dishes. The buffet items were exactly the same every single day, and staying for four nights, I honestly got tired of it. Plus, freshly ground coffee might be an extra charge.

We like the quiet streets along the hotel. The free shuttle service to Kyoto station was convenient but taking the train wasn’t difficult too. We could walk all the way from Gion to the hotel about 20 min walk. Have many nice restaurants around the area. Will definitely stay here again. Love their matcha gaufrette and coffee.

Beautiful hotel with a relaxing atmosphere. Room are clean and comfortable. Staff are all very friendly and welcoming. Enjoyed the afternoon tea and evening cocktails at the Iounge. Highly Recommended!

Overall a very positive experience. Room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The hotel assisted in my additional request perfectly and made us have a very warm and enjoyable stay. The breakfast buffet also had a good range of foods to choose from including western menu choices and some Japanese choices as well. I would love to come back!
