Kyoto Century Hotel

We loved our stay - gorgeous room with some small gifts when we arrived on our honeymoon. Perfect location for us in kyoto next to the station as we were also doing day trips to nara and osaka. Slightly further from gion but easy to access by bus or taxi. Plenty of good restaurants and konbinis nearby. The room felt very calm and beautiful. Loved having a separate tatami mat area and dressing table/mirror. All the amenities we needed and comfy pajamas in the room. We also used the in room massage which was good value

They had a great breakfast buffet with everything from drinks to hot and cold plates, both eastern and western to deserts and more. One of the best breakfast buffets I've ever seen. Their dinner buffet was expensive but also came with an ice cream bar. They also had a great bathroom setup with a separate wet room (whole room is a shower with a tub to one side) and separate sink / mirror and fancy electronic toilets with bidets. (Worth it). The location is great right next to the Kyoto Train station which is more like a massive Mall (most underground) / Transportation hub. Lots of stuff in walking distance and the tour busses pick up down the block.

Amazing location right next to Kyoto station with lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. Gorgeous lobby and rooms. I particularly liked the onsen style set up of the bathroom with mini stool and basin and the amazing smelling toiletries. Breakfast had a great selection, although no Earl grey teabags or hash browns, which we had available at our other 4 star hotels in Japan.

1) Good breakfast with many varieties of food, desert, yogurt, fruits and ice cream. The salad bar is excellent. Perhaps, the followings could be added in the future: a) make-to-order omelets, b) change the menu/add certain items on certain days of the week. 2) Rooms were spacious and clean. The bathrooms were spacious with standing shower section and bathtub. Water pressure was strong with functional temperature control. Abundance of daily fresh towels were supplied. 3) Toiletries were provided. 4) Excellent customer service at the front desk. 5) The hotel is a few minutes walk from the Kyoto Station - Central Gate (Exit 5). However, though the hotel is a short distance from the Kyoto Station - Central Gate, with respect to the subway/metro lines, it's a longer walk from the Shinkansen (bullet train) station, which is on the opposite side of the subway/metro.

We like the location of Kyoto Century Hotel, very convenient for train and bus: only a few minutes walking distance away. Hotel staffs are extremely courteous and friendly, no problem communicating in English. We stayed for 7 days, house keeping is very good. Our room has city view through a big window. As a standard city hotel, room size is adequate for two persons. We like the features that shower/tub , toilet, and wash station are separated and not enclosed in one room. We did not purchase hotel breakfast for our stay. Being at city center, we can taste different breakfast at nearby shops/restaurants.
