I could not have asked for better service and accommodations (okay breakfast was okay- not great). Amazing spa and fitness facility. Amazing views of the garden. When it snowed it was like a winter wonderland. My friends and I were blown away by how incredibly nice the hotel was and how much nicer the employees were. This place is EXPENSIVE, but with every penny. I will be back.

One of the most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed at. Our room was garden view and the most comfortable ever. The garden pond and tea house that we looked out on was both beautiful and relaxing. Everything is immaculate and the staff is helpful, warm and welcoming. In the spa I had an excellent massage and the food there is top notch. The room service staff and manager Maggie Ling were wonderful. Within easy walking distance to Temples and Museums. The Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto was a highlight of our trip to Japan.

Based on the level of service, the staff consists of what appears to be 75% new trainees. Breakfast hostess forgot to give us menus until we asked. Coffee order took 20 minutes and we had to ask again before receiving. Sushi restaurant is dismal. 1 star Michelin price but clearly outdated by 20 years. Fish quality good. Cooked dishes were heinous. 1 piece Anago nigiri sushi = 30 USD! Check-in was awkward. Definitely a trainee. Don't bother with the iPad service chat feature. They don't reply.
