Need to put the Japanese Style in CAPS as folks clearly did not read the description or look at photos before staying here. It is absolutely gorgeous but yes, the rooms are small and beds are low to the floor as it is Japanese inspired. The restaurant is really nice, fair size, breakfast buffet, and good on the current menu for dinner. Do not miss the Japanese baths - one for men and one for women. Highly recommend!

Good value for the price. The lobby photos look more elegant online than in reality, since luggage storage near the entrance makes it feel a bit messy. It’s a bit inconvenient going down from street level to the lobby and then back through to the elevators, the room was a good size (though only twin beds were available when we booked). The gym and onsen were a nice perk, I didn’t try the food, the location is convenient—on a main street near the touristy geisha area, within walking distance to sights and close to a train station.

The hotel is very nice, the infrastructure is great, they have public baths but I didnt use them as they have a strict no-tattoo policy. Breakfast is really good, they have both Japanese and Intercontinental food. We got the Tatami Room, which is really great and sets you in the mood for your Kyoto trip! Situation is ideal as well, near Gion. Overrall, would recommend and stay again !

Unfortunately this hotel rates very poorly due to poor hygienic conditions and negligence concerning their guests. I got bug bites during the night while sleeping at the hotel. I showered before going to bed without any sorts of bug bites. At around 3 AM, I woke up itching and my legs were covered with bug bites, after that I was up waiting for the morning. I informed the staff and later as I had already checked out, I was contacted by the manager via email. They asked for pictures and I sent them. Finally I got a letter telling me that their inspection shows no sign of bedbugs. The hotel did not take any responsibility, they asked for pictures to verify my complaint but finally they dismissed what had happened.

The location is great. The hotel is maintained well. Most of staff are friendly. However, I was struggling the traffic noise every night as my room was at the lower floor and facing the busy road. I asked for a quiet room at the counter specifically. It was very disappointing that the staff still assigned the room with the poorest location to us. I doubted whether it was because I booked the stay through expedia as the third agent. Anyway, I hope at least ear plugs are provided, or staff could be more responsive to customers request.

Wonderful hotel in heart of Kyoto. The staff were incredibly nice and accomodating. The rooms, while modest (our king room was small, and faced a wall just feet away across a narrow alley; request a front facing room to at least get a street view) was very well appointed and comfortable. The Japanese cultural elements-- floor mats, shower room, onsen bath on main floor-- were great touches.

This is more of a practical value stay than a standout hotel experience. The location is excellent—close to plenty of attractions and conveniences. The tatami room was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for luggage and a well-thought-out layout. However, I’d strongly recommend the hotel consider a no-kids policy for the onsen. During my last visit, the experience was unfortunately disrupted by a father and his two young sons shouting and splashing around, treating the bath more like a pool. I had just settled in but ended up leaving immediately, which was disappointing and completely broke the otherwise relaxing atmosphere.

The room is really dark. I had to use a compact mirror by the window to put makeup on. Even the make up mirror was dim. Weird. There is only a hand held shower. Disappointing not to have an overhead shower like the other Hilton’s. The restaurant staff is over the top nice and attentive but I wish they served “real” coffee. Vending machines don’t cut it for me and their drip coffee was gross. The guy who makes the fried eggs was great too.

The entire team was absolutely fantastic! The tatami room was perfect—serene and exquisitely designed, and I especially loved that the shower and bathtub are separate within the same bathroom. The hotel’s facilities are quite new, and it’s conveniently located near Kyoto Station. I even discovered some lovely casual eateries along the canal nearby… I’ll definitely be coming back next time.

The overall hotel stay was wonderful, and the front desk staff was incredible helpful with suggestions. They also offer Yamato luggage service from the front desk but wished I’ve known earlier when I checked in, so I could’ve timed my delivery. Hotel condition was great, and location was great! However, during our stay, we didn’t receive room cleaning on time during any of the day. It was a bit inconvenient especially when we came back to our dirty room to relax a bit and not knowing when the maid would come knocking for cleaning. It was minor, but it was one of the little things. Bar service was slow but breakfast service was amazing.
