Kyoto Hotels with Pools

This time I stayed at the Imperial Hotel Kyoto and the experience was really good. The hotel is in the Gion, the old building is very tasteful, it is convenient to go out to the attractions, and it is quiet in the middle of noisy. The room was comfortable, the breakfast was divided into Western and Japanese styles, the taste was very online, and the roof terrace was great to see the scenery in the evening. The best thing is the service, the room has been upgraded, the people are polite and thoughtful, the details are in place, will not be excessively disturbed, people feel very comfortable, this is the essence of Japanese service. Living here in Kyoto, the fatigue of the journey can be relaxed.

A Truly Exceptional Stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto Our family had a wonderful experience at The Ritz-Carlton Kyoto, and we left with nothing but gratitude and happy memories. From the moment we arrived, the service was flawless and heartfelt — the kind of genuine hospitality that makes a trip feel truly special. A huge thank you to Cecilia and Vinnie from the Guest Experience team, who went above and beyond to make our stay seamless and comfortable. Their warmth, attentiveness, and thoughtful gestures made us feel incredibly welcomed. A very special shout-out to Cecilia, who noticed my daughter’s love for Winnie the Pooh after our visit to Disneyland Resort. She prepared a beautiful card, a sweet message, and even a handmade Pooh origami and placed it in our room. It absolutely made our daughter’s day — such a thoughtful touch we will never forget. We also want to commend Yuki from the restaurant team for his warm and wonderful breakfast service each morning. His kindness and attention to detail set the perfect tone to start our day. The Ritz Kids adventure passport was a delightful surprise — engaging not only for our daughter but also enjoyable for us as parents. And of course, we loved the festive Christmas atmosphere, especially the beautiful Christmas tree and the amazing gingerbread house with the incredible aroma that filled the lobby. The Ritz-Carlton Kyoto truly exceeded our expectations in every way. We felt cared for, welcomed, and genuinely appreciated. We can’t wait to return again. Highly recommended for families and anyone seeking an unforgettable Kyoto stay.

It was alright. I booked this hotel on Trip.com because it was listed as a ”Chinese Choice” on Ctrip. However, there was no Chinese-speaking receptionist at check-in; I had to use a translator. I know my lack of English is my fault, but I booked it specifically because it was listed as a ”Chinese Choice” hotel! Without that label, I wouldn't know what to say. Besides, Uber kept having problems locating me at the correct hotel location, so I had to walk 100 meters to the other side of the street to hail a taxi. However, the location is quite close to Sannenzaka and Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and I took taxis throughout the city. The room wasn't very big, but it didn't bother me since I was alone. The price of 13,000 yen for three nights was moderate, but I later went to the InterContinental Osaka for 8,700 yen for three nights, which seemed like a much better deal, and the city view was better.

Our experience at Six Senses Kyoto was truly wonderful. As a new hotel opened in 2024, it exudes an elegant Japanese Zen style, and the public courtyard is particularly photogenic. The room was spacious enough at 42 square meters, and the attention to detail was impeccable. The breakfast selection was rich, offering both local Kyoto flavors and Western options, and the quality of the food was excellent. Its location isn't far from Gion and Kiyomizu-dera Temple, making it very convenient for sightseeing. The only slight downside is that it's a bit of a distance from the subway, so I'd recommend taking a taxi for getting around. The service was meticulous and attentive, making for a very relaxing stay overall, perfect for those looking to slow down and enjoy a holiday.

The service was great and the location was just perfect. I love everything about this hotel. Especially the thermal pool right outside the door.

The environment is great, especially the outdoor area, which is absolutely stunning. The service was also excellent; the hotel owner is from Shanghai and even walked us to our car when we left, making us feel truly at home. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Kyoto; it was so comfortable. The room isn't huge, but considering space is at a premium in Japan, it was still a very decent size.

The location is just opposite Nijo Castle, within walking distance, very convenient. Kyoto is not big, very leisurely, and the hotel is generally good to the attractions. The front desk and lobby manager are good, their English is online, very international, especially the European and American guys hired, the communication is very smooth. The facilities in the room are also good, the breakfast is also great, especially the freshly squeezed orange juice machine is quite interesting.

In the cherry blossom season, the hotel is difficult to set, although the location is not quiet in the scenic area. It is the signal that does not work, using the Kyoto Tourism official website network. The complimentary breakfast and dinner are good and the taste is good.
