What guests think

At Sakura Terrace The Gallery, travellers praise the handy location near Kyoto Station and the relaxed, resort-like vibe, with an open-air lounge, nightly welcome drinks with live music, and useful extras like a public bath, coffee, and laundry.

Rooms are generally clean and comfortable, many with balconies and decent space, though some feel small or basic, beds and pillows can be firm or thin, and bedside power outlets are limited. Staff are widely described as friendly and professional, but several reviews note strict policies for groups and occasional unhelpful responses. Breakfast consistently earns high praise for variety and taste, though seating queues can occur and some common areas feel cold or hot; a few mention weak Wi‑Fi or smoke drifting near the entrance. Expect a convenient, amenity‑rich stay with a social atmosphere near the station.

The exercise room doesn’t exist anymore. They filled the exercise room with massage chairs and moved the treadmills to a very awkward location (in the lobby by the elevators). So when running everyone sees you as they pass. If exercise is a part of your routine then stay elsewhere. Otherwise very nice, but due to the fact that I run daily I will be staying elsewhere moving forward.

Atrium/lobby area is open air so quite hot in the summer. I would assume it is cold in the Winter also. The free welcome drinks daily, the make your own hand dripped coffee and larger than normal size room make up for it though…

Hotel was great. Staff was top notch. Had a evening welcome drink every night and 24/7 coffee and tea in the lobbies. Hotel had fire pits in the lobby and blankets to use while enjoying the evenig drink as it was in the 40's temperature wise. Public bath was great as well to relax in after a day of sightseeing

CLEAN: 5/5. Room was clean and after a few days at a hotel in Tokyo, was also spacious. The balcony was a nice touch (we were on 2nd floor of the South bldg). QUIET: 5/5. We faced a road & heard occasional street noise, but nothing that kept us awake. More importantly, we heard ZERO noise from our nextdoor or upstairs neighbors. AMENITIES: 5/5. We didn't partake in breakfast, so I can't speak to that. A daily free drink (boozy or not) for guests was a nice touch. Checking in and out was super easy. Speaking of which, the front desk was in the North bldg, and guest rooms were in both the North and South bldgs. The South bldg was directly across the street from the North bldg, and you needed to use your room key card to gain entry. Separate onsen (in South bldg) for men and women; the one for women also required a security code that the front desk provided). Multiple drink lounges (water, coffee, tea...one in the North bldg where restaurant was & where breakfast was served and another in the South bldg). I can't recall if laundry service existed or was offered, but we didn't do any at this stage of our Japan trip. ACCESS: within a 5-10 minute walk of Kyoto Station so everything was super accessible. Also a 7 Eleven half a block away from North bldg. AFFORDABILITY: Was here at a non-peak time so I suppose that's why it seemed affordable, but for the price and location, it was a good value to us. Would definitely stay here again.

ホテルそのものの評価、部屋の作りや、サービス、食事の質・量、雰囲気など、は非常に評価は高いですが、唯一喫煙所の設置に再考の余地ありかと思います。喫煙所に関しては、大浴場のあるサウス棟のエントランス脇にあり、喫煙者のいるところから大きな扇風機でサウス棟入口方面に風を送るため、入口付近ににタバコの煙が来て、場合によってはサウス棟の中、または大浴場にまで臭いがしています。ホテルを快適にするため、喫煙室の場所を変えるべきであると思います。 The hotel itself, the room layout, service, food quality and quantity, and atmosphere, is excellent. The only reconsidering point is the smoking area. It's located next to the entrance of the South Building where the large public bath is located, and because a large fan is used to blow air, cigarette smoke comes into the entrance. To make the hotel more comfortable, the smoking room should be changed.

Great location, great staff, decent sized room. Easy check-in/out process. We were welcomed with a welcome drink. We loved the live music from the local musicians. They really did a great job creating a resort-relax-vibe in a busy city. They provided laundry machines for guests to use with a purchase of ¥100 laundry pod. The only thing I see into oemnt on is the smoking area infront of the entrance to the amenities. The smoke smell gets draw into the lobby and the massage chair area, making it very unpleasant to stay.

We’d stayed here for 5 nights and loved the hotel. Very close to Kyoto station. Seems all the rooms have a small terrace which was lovely. There is an open lounge and refined live music each night. We enjoyed a pizza in the restaurant as well as a welcome drink. We didn’t realise that was available every night of your stay, but the lovely Manager refunded the other drinks we had paid for, a service we certainly expect. We had breakfast once, but that was excellent, buffet style with a huge selection. There are also countless food options within the station complex, as well as a convenience store a minute away. Hotel provides free laundry machine and dryers which was very handy. Easy to catch bus from front of station to the old town, or it’s a 30 minute walk if you’re keen to use legs! We also did day trips to Himeji and Nara from here, so convenient to get JR rail or Shinkansen trains due to proximity to station. Would definitely stay here again.

Convenient property close to the JR train station, 7-11, and a taxi stand within a few blocks. Nice amenities at this property like complimentary drinks all day and an evening welcome drink daily. Property also has on site massage chairs, washing machine and dryers, and public bath. Rooms are about average size for Kyoto. Our bathroom had mildew accumulated around the bathroom door which left a lingering odor in the room. Otherwise the room was nice.

Hotel reception is very impressive as well as the breakfast room and other common areas but the room was a little underwhelming and didn’t match the rest of the hotel. Very small room for 2 people with 2 suitcases and the bed was very hard and pillows very thin. Found hairs in the bath so wasn’t confident the rooms are thoroughly cleaned. Kettle needed to be moved to plug in and there was only tea no coffee. No sockets near bed for charging phones. No English Chanel’s on tv. Breakfast was amazing good selection and very tasty. Very good location as only few minutes walk to station. 7/11 just up the road. Staff were welcoming and helpful. This could be an amazing hotel if rooms were bigger and better arranged. We had a room with a big terrace which was nice but would have preferred a smaller terrace and bigger room. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a short stay only because of distance from station and the amazing breakfast.

Live music goes til 10 ish so that can also be noisy if your room is on the lower floor.

It was a nice hotel on a good location. This hotel is extremely strict. You can only do 3 nookings at a time, and because there was 8 of us, and the "leader" , I have to sign an agreement about their policies on big groups regarding noice policy and that because we are in a group and want to eat at their restaurant, it's not guaranteed that we weill be seated together. Understandable, since their breakfast area has limited seatings. The worst part...I have to pay 3000yen because I stained the towel,pillow case and shower curtain because I just had my hair colored prior to coming here. :( . I did not oppose, I just paid without questions. I told them about it because I don't want them charging my card by surprise and they scan passports on check- in.I miht get banned if I argue with them. Overall, our stay was ok.

Great hotel, overall pleasant staying experience. Except some unsafe conduct by the receptionist. I forgot my room key and asked the staff to help making a new one. The front desk employee requested me to say my name and room number out loud even when I offer to give him my passport. Many other people were present at the scene. It was very unsafe to give out info like this in public. What if other people took note of the information and ask to make another room key?!…

We love the property. My husband and I had stayed there before. This time we were traveling with our daughter ghetto and sister and brother-in-law. We booked our rooms separately but when we arrived together they told us they didn’t allow groups of more than four people and that we would not be allowed to sit by the fire pit together or eat our breakfast in the dining room together. They were very unwelcoming and made us sign a paper swearing that we would not congregate together in any part of the hotel together and never make a reservation to come again. They basically spoiled our whole stay.

They serve a delicious breakfast buffet, unlike I’ve ever seen in a hotel. My group was 6 people total (family), but we were not allowed to sit together. They showed us a paper saying that we can only gather in groups of 4. Also, their restaurant only serves dinner, not lunch so we had to buy lunch outside. Many restaurants in the area could not accommodate 6 people so we brought food back to the hotel. We were asked to eat lunch in our room, even though there were empty chairs and tables in the main floor. Our room was tiny so ended up eating on the floor, on the bed and standing up. I would not come back.

El hotel es muy bonito y el desayuno espectacular. Muy bien cuidado y original. El único problema es que el salón del desayuno es muy pequeño así que de media hay que esperar 10/15 minutos; no sería tanto problema si no fuera porque esperas al aire libre, en nuestro caso nevó los dias que nos alejamos, es decir, esperabanos a 0 grados, eso si, te dan una mantita. Es que las zonas comunes del hotel son mayoritariamente al aire libre. El tamaño de las habitaciones es amplio y está a 200 metros de la Estacion de tren

The breakfast was fantastic with so many options, highly recommend at least once. Dinner options were few. The pillows are tiny and rock hard. We should have requested additional pillowsl. Location was perfect and there is alot to do. Kyoto was definitely the best out of Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto trip. I would have spent more days there had i known better.
