Mountain View Hotels in Kyoto

"The hotel is just one subway stop away from Kyoto Station. There's a shuttle bus that runs between the hotel and Kyoto Station, and you can get discount coupons at the hotel lobby. It's 100 yen per ride for both adults and children. On the second floor, there's a restaurant, and on the first floor, there are shops and experience centers for flower arrangement, tea ceremony, and pottery. The hotel also provides discount coupons for dining on the second floor, with no restrictions on use. Each coupon is worth 1000 yen, and we received and used all four of them. Behind the hotel is the Central Fish Market. I recommend visiting between 4-5 AM to witness the wholesale auction. We arrived at 5:45 AM and it was almost over. If waking up that early is too difficult, exploring all the exhibitions in the corridor on the second floor will also provide a lot of interesting insights. Next to the hotel are Umekoji Park, an aquarium, and a railway museum, making it very suitable for families with children. The hotel rooms are spacious, and the hot spring on the third floor is very comfortable. There's also a rooftop on the ninth floor where you can enjoy the night view."

"Many reviews complained about the size of the room but my family and I liked it though. We got a triple bed room and felt that it was cosy and that the space, while limited, was sufficient. There was a coat hanger space, wall bars to hang more coats/towels and there was space for us to open our luggage as well. Was a comfortable stay and we wouldn't mind going there again if we revisit Kyoto. The staff were friendly and efficient and they made the place feel welcoming!"

"advantage: The location is good, the attached hand soap, body wash, and shampoo are very high-end, the room is nice and tidy, the lighting is good, and the breakfast is good (meal coupon for sandwich in the cafe next door) shortcoming: There is a kitchen in the room. Occasionally, there will be a little smell wafting out, maybe a few times (I thought it was us, but it wasn't), and it is a bit inconvenient to get in and out. The door can only be closed after one person takes off his shoes and goes to the entrance, and the room The key is physical, not a card, so you have to hand it to the counter when you want to go out (be careful if you don't dare to communicate with the counter)"

"I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, where the hospitality truly stood out. The front desk staff greeted me with the warmest smile one that never faded and offered an ice cold towel to wipe off the summer sweat. Such a thoughtful touch in Kyoto’s scorching heat! The room was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and provided a peaceful retreat after a long day of sightseeing. Small acts of kindness like this make all the difference, and I’m so grateful for the staff’s attentive service."

"Pros : Easy access to downtown area and sightseeing spots - there are bus station and subway station nearby. Hotel is quite newly furbished and room size is more spacious than other properties of the same hotel chain. Service standard has been kept up to expectation. Cons : If there is anything to complain about - no onigiri (rice balls) found in breakfast during my 4-night stay. ."
