Great! A little long to walk but not bad. Might differentiate from others if there was a car to drop off guests. Awesome GM extremely personable
We had a very comfortable stay at the Six Senses Kyoto. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely room and we appreciated the welcome snacks! Great breakfast buffet with lots of interesting choices!
Hotel was perfectly clean and the staff was welcoming. On tbe other hand, guest services and staff knowledge of restaurants and attractions was subpar.
Wow this property was unbelievable!!! My husband and I came for our honeymoon and from the moment we walked in they made us feel so special. Shoutout to Jenn, Yoshi and Mizuki for making our stay extra special. They all made such nice personal touched throughout our stay which made it that much better. 12/10 stars thank you so much for providing an experience we’ll never be able to forget.
Our experience at Six Senses Kyoto was extraordinary from start to finish. Every detail felt thoughtful, personal, and beautifully tailored to our family.
What truly made our stay unforgettable was the outstanding care from the Kids Club team —Saki and Kaori. They went above and beyond for our 8-year-old son, creating moments of joy, learning, and connection that he will never forget. From fun activities to teaching him the art of origami, they brought so much warmth and magic to his days. Their kindness and attention made our stay feel deeply special.
The reception team was equally impressive — attentive, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Every interaction felt genuine and gracious.
Six Senses Kyoto is a sanctuary of beauty and calm, but it’s the people who made it truly exceptional. We are grateful for this experience and can’t wait to return.
The most amazing hotel with the most attentive staff! Our experience all around was amazing. Of course check in was great and the property itself is beautiful (with great room service) but the staff going above and beyond is what makes this a true 5-star property. My husband tore his favorite jacket on a night out in town and the hotel staff was able to source a vendor to fix it for us overnight before we flew out. We made all restaurant reservations through the hotel concierge because they were incredibly helpful and detailed (and gave great recommendations). That is rarely my experience; yes, even at 5-star hotels. Would absolutely return again!

Sehr schöne Zimmer, auch wenn unseres aufgrund der Lage etwas dunkel war. Das Personal war freundlich, jedoch schien das Team gelegentlich leicht unterbesetzt, was zu Verzögerungen beim Turndown führte. Das Spa ist wunderbar, und meine Massage war hervorragend – die Erfahrung meiner Mutter fiel allerdings etwas gemischt aus. Insgesamt ein angenehmer Aufenthalt, jedoch würde ich in dieser Preisklasse beim nächsten Mal vermutlich ein anderes Hotel in Betracht ziehen.
