Hotels in Gion/Kiyomizu Temple, Kyoto

Title: An Extraordinary Stay at an Exquisite Kyoto Gem Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) I recently had the pleasure of staying at a truly remarkable hotel in Kyoto, and I can confidently say that my experience was nothing short of excellent. From the moment I stepped foot into this elegant establishment until the day of my departure, every aspect of my stay exceeded my expectations. Nestled in the heart of Kyoto, the hotel's location was simply perfect. It provided easy access to some of the city's most iconic landmarks and cultural attractions, ensuring that I could explore the beauty of Kyoto with utmost convenience. Whether it was the majestic Kinkaku-ji Temple or the serene Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, everything was within reach, allowing me to immerse myself fully in the city's rich heritage. The hotel's architecture and interior design were a true reflection of Kyoto's aesthetic beauty. The moment I entered the lobby, I was greeted by a sense of tranquility and harmony. The attention to detail was impeccable, with traditional Japanese elements seamlessly integrated into the contemporary design. The serene garden views from the common areas only added to the overall charm and provided a peaceful oasis amidst the bustling city. The staff members at the hotel were the epitome of hospitality. From the warm welcome at check-in to the attentive service throughout my stay, they went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. Their genuine smiles and willingness to assist with any request created a welcoming and friendly atmosphere that made me feel right at home. Their knowledge of the local area and recommendations for sightseeing and dining were invaluable, enabling me to make the most of my time in Kyoto. The room I stayed in was a haven of luxury and elegance. Immaculately clean and tastefully decorated, it exuded a sense of serenity that allowed me to unwind after a day of exploration. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the comfortable bedding to the carefully curated amenities.

I booked a twin room after arriving at the store, 3 people can not stay or can not be an extra bed. I can change to a 3-person room. Originally 1400 one night, now one more person has changed to 2600 one night. After the cancellation time, otherwise I rebooked the hotel. The bathroom in the room is very satisfied. Since it is a single room, why is the other bed very good? Strange and there's no bed on the ground floor.

There was no xymi in a firm thick wooden bed, and the mattress was moderately soft and comfortable and had a good sleep time. In addition, the bottom of the mattress is tatami mats, and there is a cushion, so the hardness of the plate is not felt at all, and the size is about two tatami mats, and the cozy of the room is also the best. Gion kobashi and Yahanshin Sha shrine were also very close, and there were many restaurants and restaurants. The neighborhood is located in a quiet street in the old art town, so it is quiet and calm when you use the lounge or go to bed at midnight. The lounge also has tatami space, so you can really relax like you are in the inn. Towels and bath towels are also available for free, and amenities are also available in Shiseido, and if you have a real change of underwear, you can stay hanging. The location was good, so it was perfect for Kyoto sightseeing base.

Spent four nights at this cute hotel in Gion. We arrived late to our hotel the night we got into Kyoto and the staff was very understanding and accommodating. English-speaking staff made check in and other tasks easy. Room is somewhat small which made it difficult to have our large luggage in the room, but we made it work. New clean towels every night delivered to the room. We were able to do some laundry as well as the hotel has coin laundry on site. Lots of free amenities for you if you forget or need something. One of our group members lost their bag on a train on the first night and the staff was so helpful to contact the train company to help us track down the bag. Additionally, the hotel provides luggage shipping which was super convenient for us as we were traveling to Tokyo next. Overall, a great hotel with value-added services at a great nightly rate!

We stayed here for two nights from October 5-7 and have no complaints about the service and care we received. This is renovated primary school, but you wouldn't know it from how it has been remodeled. Though we did like the wide stairways with wooden bannisters that retained a little of the ”school” feel. The overall atmosphere of the hotel and its grounds is very calming; a nice oasis from the bustle of the city. The room was a good size with very good amenities that made the stay convenient and comfortable. The in-room bar was complimentary and restocked daily. We also had access to the lounge which had free flowing snacks and beverages throughout the day. It was nice to sit next to the window with a warm beverage or a glass of wine after a long day of trekking across the city. We ate in the city, but also made a point to try all of the places to eat in the hotel. We had breakfast on the outside terrace of the main restaurant. The ”well-being” breakfast was healthy and hearty; very filling. We liked that the breakfast was ”by order” rather than buffet. Buffets can be tiring when you just want to sit comfortably on a terrace, enjoying the morning with a cup of coffee. We had one dinner at Benoit, the French restaurant. We tried three mains as part of two set meals we ordered: Sea Bass, Lobster, and Pork Loin. All were done very well. For a late supper, we had a steak on the Rooftop Lounge. The chef himself, strongly suggested I order a different wine with the steak as he felt it complimented it better. It was actually a cheaper wine than I had ordered, so I appreciated that it was a true recommendation. We followed dinner with cocktails in the bar, where the bartender apparently is rather well-known in Kyoto. He certainly had admirers watching him as he made the drinks. The hotel general staff and concierge were all very helpful, helping us reserve cars and check to make sure that our destinations were convenient for our purposes. They also follow-up with us to see if what they had suggested worked out. The only suggestion is to make sure that you leave plenty of time for arriving and leaving. The hotel is right in the middle of a major tourist area. There are many temples in the area, and the streets are lined with tea houses, places to eat or buy souvenirs, and places just to discover or wander about. So depending on the time of day, the traffic can be very congested. That said, from the hotel it's only a 20-minute walk to Nishiki market and the areas around it. Overall, an excellent stay. We would definitely consider the hotel again for any future trip we might have to Kyoto.

My family and I truly enjoyed staying at the DoubleTree by Hilton Kyoto Higashiyama during our recent trip to Japan. We found the rooms clean and elegant and the food in the restaurant to be very good. However the one thing that truly stood out was the warm and gracious service we received during our stay. Service: The service we received was truly above and beyond expectations. We had flown in on a red-eye flight from Singapore the night before our stay and were dead tired by the time we got to the hotel. The next day, we realized that our camera was missing and checked with the hotel if someone had turned it in. The front desk told us no one had, but then proceeded to help us trace back our steps to the last time we saw our camera at a restaurant in the Osaka airport. They then proceeded to call the restaurant for us and helped schedule a pick-up time for us at the airport lost and found. We are forever grateful for the hotel's front desk's help in finding our camera! Location: The hotel is conveniently located in the Higashiyama area of Kyoto. From the hotel, we were able to easily take short cab rides to local sites such as Kiyomizu-dera and the Kyoto National Museum. The hotel is also conveniently located near Kiyomizu-Gojō Station. Rooms: The rooms were absolutely spotless and clean. The beds were comfortable with thick bedding (perfect since the weather was on the cool side when we were there). The restroom was also split between a room containing the shower and tub with the toilet in a separate room. Dining: At the hotel, we had dinner one night and breakfast the two mornings we were there. Everything that we tried was very well prepared and delicious. At dinner we ordered a variety of plates to share including a salad, pasta, fish dish, and dessert. Breakfast was served in buffet format and included a variety of both Japanese and Western options. Overall we truly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning in the future!

A lovely boutique hotel close to Kiyomizu-dera, the most popular tourist attraction of Kyoto, and other atteactions. Many traditional Japanese restaurants around. Free afternoon tea and snack at the guest lounge. The bath is nicely deaigned though there is no sauna. All in all, if itbis yoir first time visit to Kyoto, it is a good choice to stay in this hotel for exploring the attractions and sampling Japanses restaurants nearby.

The staff were very kind and made my stay even nicer! From the rooftop you can see the Kiyomizu-dera and at night the view is easily breathtaking, especially if you contemplate it with some typical green tea and some japanese sweets. I reccomend this hotel to anyone who is interested in seeing Kyoto as both tourist and local. A bus station is situated right at the corner of the street, you can reach it in one minute by foot, like the central Kyoto train station which is 15 minutes far by foot.

Kyoto maintains a strong Southeast Asian style. Entering the hotel, the smell, trees, and decoration style are all very Southeast Asian. Don't worry, the service in Southeast Asia is also first-class, not to mention in Kyoto, so the service must be great, especially the Japanese beauty who checked in and the ********* beauty at the door, the service is absolutely attentive and considerate. However, the cleaners are a little casual, not like Japan. The food provided by the hotel is not too delicious, but not bad, and all non-alcoholic drinks in the mini bar are free. The huge balcony is only useful when the weather is perfect like now, and it is not good when it is too hot or too cold. The facilities are good, the room is not big, but it is enough. The network speed is average, and the game cannot be played. The bed and pillow are great, suitable for rest. Other facilities are also very good, but the hotel has many special things, including lighting design, toothpaste... Different from other places, you need to adapt. The breakfast is also very Southeast Asian, I am not used to it. After all, I came to Japan and wanted to eat standard Japanese or Western breakfast, not Southeast Asian Japanese breakfast.
