Beautiful hotel with incredible service. Rooms are spotless and well appointed. Every employee is attentive, helpful and incredibly dedicated to making your stay exceptional. Location is quiet with beautiful grounds yet close to many temples and everything the old part of Kyoto has to offer.
Amazing hotel — truly wonderful in every way! The staff are incredibly welcoming, the food options are fantastic, and the pool and spa are just perfect. Highly recommend!
We had an exceptional experience. From the moment we set foot on the property we received a warm welcome & the service felt customized and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us . We were also traveling with small children and they loved their stay and the staff so much that they didn’t want to leave . I highly recommend this property!
We have stayed at many Four Seasons hotels and other 5 star hotels around the world, but this is by far the best. Exceptional property, facilities and service!
This hotel offers a great experience with its exceptional service. However, I wish there were more dining options available, as the nearby area seems to be quite inactive. Additionally, the garden could be improved by installing better lighting to make it usable at night.

Excellent hotel in a great part of Osaka. Easy accces to airport and subway lines. Quiet and safe.
This hotel was perfect. The staff was friendly, helpful and genuinely cared about the service. The room was upgraded without asking. There were birthday surprises in my room every day. The music and ambience in the hotel were top-notch. There were always offering activities. Valet in the concierge’s were amazing and helpful With restaurants and getting us to our destinations.
I have travelled all over and this was by far the most gorgeous, clean and friendly hotel I have been to. The staff went above and beyond with their service! I will definitely be coming again!
Excellent hospitality. Nice view from the room. However, the location is a bit far away from the Main Street. Overall, it is a superb experience and I will visit again next time.
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.
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.
We stayed in the Four Seasons Room designed for a family of three at the Four Seasons Kyoto. The room features a shower door that swings to create a wet room combining the bathtub and shower. The bathtub includes a hand shower, offering versatility. Additionally, there's a Smart Toto washlet for added comfort and convenience.

For the uptick in price because of the Christmas holiday $1000 per night it was a mediocre experience. The tub didn't have enough hot water, I smelled bacon in my room on the 3rd floor from the kitchen, the gym mirror were dirty in the same spots 2 days in a row. High tea wasn't great and i wish i had it at the Ritz, where i came from. The omakase was just ok. I had better outside of the hotel. The hotel seems under staffed and the staff wasn't very trained in high end hospitality. I wouldn't pay $1000 to stay here.
