sequence KYOTO GOJO

Modern design hotel that appeals to the younger crowd. Medium queen room was spacious and I could lay out my luggage case on the long bench. Don't expect nice views from the room as it will be facing other buildings. Room was on the darker side, as the interior design is mostly black and gray, and the lighting was minimal, so it is good for relaxing and not working. For breakfast, you can order 1 plate from ala carte menu, and there is a salad bar. Pretty simple but does the job. Location wise, it is closer to Gojo metro station than Shijo station. There is a metro exit with elevator so you can use that when carrying luggage. It is a longer walk to Shijo dori shopping street, so you may prefer to book a hotel closer to Shijo station / Hankyu Karasuma station if you want to be more central to the shopping area.

Very beautiful hotel with nice and modern rooms. The staff was very friendly and willing to help. Location is great and breakfast is ok priced. Toilet and shower very comfortable. Overall great stay!

room was clean and spacious, the sauna was nice, love the slight herbal scent

The hotel is really big than others Western breakfast good for us Just the big bath will change every day

The Hotel is located in a good location, just one stop away from Kyoto Station. The Room is spacious and so big in japan standard, just sadly it didn’t come with a bath tub. Staffs here are so professional and helpful as well. If you going to catch Shinkansen in the morning at 7AM, staying at this hotel is a good choice. The first train to Kyoto station is 6:27AM from Gojo to Kyoto Station, so I recommend you to get the tickets the night before because you would be hassle free.

The lobby makes a strong first impression with its tasteful, contemporary design—very much in line with what seasoned travelers appreciate after a long journey. Location-wise, the hotel is a solid choice. Being close to the train station and surrounded by local food options made getting around and finding good meals effortless. That said, the 5pm check-in time is noticeably later than usual and can be inconvenient if you arrive early. I passed the time at the restaurant and bar next to the lobby, taking advantage of their Happy Hour, which helped. A nice touch was the self-service luggage storage area—practical and traveler-friendly. I stayed in a corner room. The room itself was fine: clean, functional, and simple, as expected of many Japanese hotels. The view, however, was unremarkable. I also tried the public bath. It was reasonably sized and, thankfully, not too crowded during my visit, making it a relaxing experience. Service was a bit cool at first, though it improved as the stay went on. Overall, I would consider returning, especially when traveling as a couple.
