Ace Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was great, very clean and helpful staff. Breakfast food was very good - only recommendation is to get to breakfast early. The breakfast room is pretty small and gets full fast. Also, the location is not directly accessible by taxi, but can be ready with a very short walk after dropoff nearby."

Hilton Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is new, barely over a year in age and still has the “new” smell. The rooms are very tasteful in decor, and very quiet despite the hotels close location to a busy street. Highly recommended. My one recommendation is that when the hotel is full that the breakfast spread be enlarged and cooking stations be added as in other properties. It felt as though the staff was overwhelmed by the number of guests."
