We stayed 2 nights at this hotel. There's a train station across the street, just one stop from the Kyoto Station so the location was very convenient. From the lobby, there is a door that leads to a Family Mart. The rooms are quite spacious. The bathrooms are of a good size and the toilet is separate from the shower which makes it easy for people to use the bathroom. The amenities were good too. The beds were very comfortable as well. Our room rate came with breakfast which was very good and had a very wide selection of food. The front desk service was great too and people were very helpful. We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel and will likely stay here again for our next visit to Kyoto.
My friend and I arrived at the hotel early in the morning. The staff was nice and kept our luggage for us so that we could go out and explore the beautiful city of Kyoto. First impression, the exterior looks very Kyoto-esque, and the interior has a little hint that the brand is from Thailand. We got a room on the basement floor, which at first felt a little weird, but it was nice, clean, and had a window that allowed us to see the sky and get some fresh air. There was no moldy smell at all, which was a relief. Also, we spent most of the day outside anyway. Room is as cozy as the name suggests in the booking and it is super clean. The size is standard for Japan, with a smart design that includes normal-sized luggage storage under the bed. Bed is soft and the linens are clean. Only weird thing at first was that the sink is separate from the bathroom. But on second thought, maybe that's a good thing; one person can take a shower while another can brush their teeth. The shower room has a standing shower with great pressure and temperature control, but no bathtub. The amenities smell good, and the towels are good quality. Surprise! The free WiFi internet is super fast. I was able to back up 100 photos and 10 videos with no problem. Location: The hotel is in the middle of two underground train stations, so you can get in and out easily by walking for 3-4 minutes. However, for the first day, especially when you have a lot of luggage or big oversize luggage, and if you don't want to go around crossing the street looking for escalators or elevators, it's better to take a taxi. The hotel and Kyoto station are not too far apart at all. I know that taxi rides in Japan are rumored to be expensive, but it's up to you if you want to save your bag or your back. After you are free from your luggage, you can even walk 5-8 minutes to the shopping street or even 20-30 minutes to the famous Kiyomizu-dera Temple, which we did after recovering from 10 hours of sitting at the airport and on the flight. Since Kyoto has a lot to explore and there is great food out there, even food from combini Family Mart and 7-Eleven nearby, we did not try the room service or restaurant at the hotel. Sorry about that. In conclusion, this is a brand new, renovated hotel that is clean and has a nice location. I will revisit and recommend it to my family, friends, and favorite colleagues.
京都之旅最正確的選擇就是入住了一直心心念唸的安縵京都,安縵酒店隱匿在靜謐的森林之中,綠茵環繞,禪意清幽。這次入住楢房,房間很新,一層的大落地窗採光非常好,陽光洋洋灑灑的透過窗照進房間感覺匆忙的旅行一下就慢下來了。最難忘的是入住期間每一位工作人員的笑臉和熱情周到的服務!這次提前預約了兩天的晚餐和下午茶,都在the living pavilion,餐廳所有工作人員服務都是特別有禮貌,服務無可挑剔,菜品都非常精緻美味,下次來要品嚐鷹庵,非常棒的入住體驗,下次秋天來!
第一次給酒店寫點評,之前住的安縵都沒有寫,但是京都柏悦真的值得!我掉的項鍊馬上幫我找到並且叫專車給我送到了大阪,真的太感動了!spa真的很棒!房間也很好!服務沒話説!表揚前台一位日本比較高的男士!真的很温暖 I have never written any feedback for any hotel, but I registered this account and writing this comment specifically for Park Hyatt Kyoto. I booked the Kind bed with Garden Terrace room for two nights from June 28 to June 30. The view and the garden terrace are fantastic, and I can enjoy my own time and space with a cup of tea for the whole afternoon. The housekeeping team not only provided a considerate night bed service but also surprised me with little hand-made paper animals! I have also booked a 120min signature spa and 40min mini facial, and I have to say this is the time that I enjoy the most, even compared with Aman Kyoto. The most unforgettable thing is I accidentally lost my diamond pendant in the bathrobe. I thought it is going to take a few days to find it back. At that time, I was heading to Osaka, so I suppose they will find it and deliver it to me in China at some extra charge. Surprisingly, they find it on the second day! And most importantly, they send a person driving from Kyoto to Osaka, where I currently live, and deliver my pendant! They did not charge me anything, and they sent their warm greetings with little Mocha pancakes. I would definitely like to stay in Park Hyatt Kyoto again! And I strongly recommend people stay there! Great location, excellent service, fantastic view.
Overall, amazing stay at the Miyako Westin Kyoto. Great location (quite central but not in the hectic district of Gion, at the foot of the hills on the east side of the side), stones throw to most restaurants / places of interests. Immediately got upgraded to suite when checking in (Platinum Bonvoy member), great service and hospitality. Suite was beautiful with balcony and great view, 2 member of the reception went up and escorted us to the suite. Food was amazing! Great breakfast spread with Japanese and Western options (the croissants are to die for, probably the best I've ever had!). They also have a Japanese Kaiseki option for a more authentic experience Concierge was super helpful. They managed to book us a table at a 1 michelin star Kaiseki restaurant with one day notice (keep in mind that most places are booked out 1-2 months in advance and the concierge had to call 15+ restaurants to find us a table) There was also an in-house ”Onsen” (Japanese bath house) with over 2000 sqm indoor and outdoor hot pool. Amazing place to relax and unwind after a day of exploring the city. Wonderful stay all in all and a definite stay again for future trips to Kyoto. Highly recommended!
We were a group of 6 people staying at the Hotel Mitsui on a trek through Japan. Suffice it to say, that the group was all pleased that we stayed here. Our initial check in process was a bit bumpy (no tea service) as it was clear everyone was checking into the hotel for a holiday weekend. However, within 30 minutes, we were all on our way to our rooms. Overall, the hotel and the rooms are designed in muted tones and a modern zen vibe. Where other hotels would simply have drywall covered with pictures, the Mitsui has clearly thought about every surface. We were in a room that looked out to the central garden, which is beautiful. The room had a nice long marble bench at the entrance which was nice for putting shoes on or setting things down to pack / unpack. Further in the room, there is a bar area, desk area and a nice long padded bench by the window. Controls for the room are near the bed and you can dim lights or raise and lower blinds with ease. The bathroom is a very clever design with two pocket door entrances, offering a closet area, double sink, a wet room with tub and shower and rom for the toilet. The room for the toilet is wide and very peaceful. Of course, it comes with the fancy Toto Neorest toilet that raises and lowers the seat automatically, has a heated seat, has a bidet feature and more. The shower offers both a hand held and a rain head that with a fine spray. Bathroom toiletries are crafted for the Hotel Mitsui. Of course, robes were available (just ask if you need a different size). Let’s talk about sleeping…. The bed was among the most comfortable that I have ever tried (firm, with just the right amount of softness). Down pillows and a duvet complete the scene. And course, should you not like your pillow, there is a pillow menu. The rooms at the Mitsui are quiet with blackout shades. At night, gentle nightlights illuminate the path to the bathroom. In all, the sleep experience is well thought out and devine. One of the stand out features of the hotel would be the Thermal Springs in the basement. The Thermal Springs are a modern version of a traditional Japanese onsen. Access is open to everyone in the hotel, but the number of people permitted in is managed to in more than 14 people at a time. You have to call ahead to make sure there is space, but in our case, we were always able to get in. Anyone who out touring in Kyoto, should make time in their busy schedule to visit the Thermal Springs between their tours and dinner - it is a great way to wash off the city and relax before dinner - very civilized. This review is particularly fun for me as our stay at the Mitsui ultimately caused us to break up with our travel agent. He was SO insistent that we stay at the Ritz , he could not imagine trying something new like the Mitsui (nor was he willing o have his team check it out). In the end, I feel vindicated, we loved our stay at the Mitsui and would happily return
This Ritz-Carlton location sitting on Kamogawa and Hagashiyama mountains, is one of the best locations to stay in Kyoto. The architecture is gorgeous on every level as you enter the hotel. You feel transported to a particular place that you will never forget. In addition, the quality of service the Ladies and Gentlemen provides goes above and beyond any other Ritz-Carlton location. Staying at the Kamogawa Executive Suite was an unforgettable experience. Approximately 1350 sq. ft., the suite provides luxury accommodations that exceed the highest expectations of any guest. The bathroom is gorgeous, especially the bathtub, where the wall and bathtub are decorated with sakura flowers. The bed is comfortable, and the living room is quite spacious. One thing I would have loved to see inside this room is a Genkan to place shoes as you enter the suite. Preserving the floor and rug is necessary and educates foreign guests about the importance of doing this. Another aspect that I loved about this place was Mizuki. Every morning I visited it for a Japanese-style breakfast, and it was a fantastic experience. In addition, I went to one of their sushi demonstrations and felt that I had a lifetime supply of sushi. Every bite was delicious, and the chef went above and beyond to make every guest feel special. Please make reservations for kaiseki, tempura, teppanyaki, and of course, sushi during your stay in advance. The spa is also a must if you are staying in this location. It is one of my most relaxing experiences, and the facilities are excellent. As you enter the spa, all the details regarding the walk to the counter or attendant, the changing room, and the pool area are planned quite well, so the guest can feel extra special and disconnected from reality. Finally, I must recognize the Ladies and Gentlemen's hard work and dedication at the Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto. Thank Ana and Naoto, for your friendly welcome to the hotel and making things possible during my stay. Chef Tomohiro Goda and his team provided an experience I will never forget at Mizuki. Naoki was friendly and helpful as I researched information. Pablo and Thain were attentive to my needs as I left the hotel and provided a great experience as I checked out. Special thanks to Carlos for leading such a fantastic Ritz-Carlton property in Japan and consideration prior to my stay. This is one of the top Ritz-Carlton properties I have stayed in, out of 25 Ritz-Carlton. I will cherish all the memories that I gained from this place and will make sure to come back in the future.
Our stay at Six Sense Kyoto has been, by far, one of the best experiences ever. We travelled as a family of four, with a 9 and 12 year old, and stayed here in July 2024. We loved every thing about the hotel, but I’ll stick to the highlights that left an impression on us: 1. Grow with Six Senses: a children’s club (5 years to 12 years) that is managed by two amazing, high-energy, wonderful, wonderful ladies! Both our girls loved visiting the club and engaging with the instructors. 2. Earth Lab: a lovely little program that is centered around the sustainability theme of the hotel. They have workshops where guests can learn the traditional Japanese art of gift wrapping, Fukushima, or work with natural, plant-derived colors to paint, or try your hands at creating washi paper! Our girls loved these workshops as well! 3. Breakfast at Sekki: as vegetarians and vegans, we usually have very limited options when it comes to food, outside of bread and some sad looking vegetables and fruits. Sekki offered us a lot more and then some! Plenty of vegetarian options, local, fresh fruits, gluten-free bread… it was more than one could possibly want. Their dinner menu too, is extensive, as far as veg and vegan options go. They did not hesitate to modify the menu either, when my daughter wanted a specific type of pasta! 4. The staff: I was saving the most important for the last: the staff. They are the true gems that make the absolute difference! Every EVERY single one of them is very courteous and deeply committed to making your stay one of the best ever. They work hard, with the warmest smiles, to organize your schedules, offer with brilliant recommendations… and doing pretty much everything you could possibly want, so all you need to do is relax and enjoy your stay. Special shout out to Yuko-San, Miku-San, Eiki-San, (front desk), Saki-San, Kaori-San (Grow with Six Senses and Earth Labs), Megumi-San (please ask for her at the spa! She’s bloody brilliant!) I’ve only mentioned the names that I remember, but this is also true of **every** one of the staff that we encountered. The experiences that we encounter in and with a city, is largely influenced by the place of stay. Six Senses Kyoto has made memories of our visit to the city, that much sweeter, and has left us wanting for more. We are coming back. For sure.
