Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, good breakfast spread"

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

6/10 Okay

"The first room I was given immediately exuded smelly BO, but I thought it was not aired properly so I turned on air, was so tired, just went to sleep. Although I was exhausted, I kept waking up to whiffs of stinky BO, such that after waking up and nodding back to sleep I could stand it no longer, got up at 2am (02:00), packed up my stuff and went to the lobby for a room change. I want to note that when I first pulled back the comforter, I saw a strand of hair, but didn’t have the energy to deal with it. Upon informing the staff, there was no concern of the quality and no apologies offered. The only thing she was concerned with was whether I left anything in the room. I was made to wait for 10-15 minutes before she and another staff came out to work on the room change. She accompanied me to the new assigned room, which turned out to be one with wheelchair access. Naturally being wheelchair accessible the bedroom floor was marked. The bathroom floor was not dirty but also not spotless. Again I was exhausted, walked into a clean smelling warm bedroom and nodded approval as all I wanted to do was get some rest. With checking in and out automated to a degree, it felt very cold and the word “hospitality « was lacking. The exception was the ladies who handled my luggage. They were very warm and helpful. On the positive side, I really enjoyed the various onsen baths, the amenities such as hairbrush, hair bands and skincare. Love the ice cream. Didnt try the ramen but its a nice touc"

THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC

8/10 Good

"Hotel location is extremely central in a busy area of Kyoto with countless food and drink options nearby. One thing to note is that the area around the hotel can become very hectic and loud in the evenings. The hotel itself is very nice, and the rooms were clean and comfortable throughout our stay. My only suggestions would be to provide additional towels and robes in the rooms. Also, during checkout it was a bit confusing being shown extra charges on a calculator rather than receiving an itemized breakdown. Overall, we had a great stay and would highly recommend this hotel."

10/10 Excellent

"This was such a great experience and accommodation option. My partner and I did hotels in Tokyo and Osaka and the rooms are tiny anyway so we decided to give this a try. The property was extremely clean and the staff were the nicest. The bed was also super comfortable. One evening we enjoyed free beer between 530-630pm in a boot-shaped glass because we showed the staff we walked over 10,000 steps that day, I thought this was unique and fun. We never utilized the kitchen other than for free coffee and water, but it was very clean. I would definitely recommend this place for a unique type of stay!"
