"Big, clean room in a great location. The hotel is well maintained and feels contemporary.
The only caveat (which is to be expected in Kyoto) was the mass chaos of the breakfast buffet."

The NEST at Nishiki is both a new and an exceptional property. The rooms were spotless and functional, the staff was extremely attentive, and the location was just perfect--steps from the Nishiki Market and the Gion district. Yet the single most outstanding feature of the NEST at Nishiki is its manager, Ms. Chie Nakamura. She is professional, knowledgeable, a top-notch hotelier, and a wonderful person. This hotel is a reflection of its manager. ありがとうございました.

The room had everything we needed. We were traveling with my son and niece which are both big Pokémon fans so they loved the Pokémon themed room. The room was small for all 4 of us which is usually expected in Japan but we made it work.

Staying at this hotel was definitely a highlight of our trip. The location is unbeatable—right across from Kyoto Station, but as soon as you step inside, it's like entering another world. It's so peaceful that you'd never guess you were just steps from the hustle and bustle of the station.
The rooms were sleek, comfortable, and had a modern vibe. The bathroom was fantastic too—really added to the whole luxurious feel.
The staff were incredibly friendly. And get this, they even had a robot...

This hotel is fabulous. The rooms are stylish and the location could not be better. It is right next to a subway station and an easy trip from Kyoto station. The breakfast is tasty with many choices. The rooms are a little on the small side for Americans...we are from New York City so pretty typical for NYC standards. Would 100% stay here again. Five star for food, design, location, and service.

Great little hotel. Very quiet and calm. Great showers. Lots of pastries and drinks, which solved the problem of breakfast, especially for us, as we woke up at 5 am most days. (We noticed that some guests filled up bags of croissants after checking out, which was really sad to see, as they just emptied out the box of pastries into a plastic bag and left other guests nothing.) there is a 7/11 and a metro line right next to it. And some nice restaurants around too.

Hotel was absolutely beautiful. Very serene and lovely, was exactly what we were looking for on a vacation to Kyoto. Staff was super helpful, spoke English well. It was nice to return to the hotel after long, hot days of touring in the summer.

I had a great stay at THE GATE Hotel in Kyoto! The property is modern, clean, and well-maintained. One of the highlights is definitely the top floor, where the reception and bar are located—it offers a stunning panoramic view of the city, especially at sunset. The location is super convenient, just a short walk from the train station and close to several local attractions, which made it easy to explore Kyoto. Overall, a comfortable and stylish place to stay. I’d definitely come back!

This hotel is perfectly situated- it is an easy walk from the Sanjo station and it’s embedded within the ultra-beautiful Gion district. The hotel staff are English-fluent, ready-and-waiting to answer questions, give directions, and make recommendations. Our rooms (we had two and stayed for three nights) were aesthetically lovely and spotless. Our shower was pristine and modern, though I regretted not booking a room with a soaking tub. Breakfast was in keeping with our overall experience:...

This is probably one of the best possible locations to stay in Kyoto with easy access to everything Kyoto has to offer. The area is extremely safe and walkable at night. Rooms were a bit small but adequate and the staff was very professional and helpful. Absolutely we would stay here again.
