5-Sterne-Hotels in Kyoto Nakagyo-ku

この度ホテルオークラ京都に泊まらせて頂き、本当に嬉しかったのです。ロケーションもちろん、設備と食事など、全て最高でした。心を込めて暖かくしてくれたスタッフのみんなさんにお礼を申し上げたいと思います。どうもありがとうございました。まだ機会が有れば、是非泊まらせてください！オークラのおもてなしは日本の代表として、とても素晴らしいです！ ps 朝食が美味しくて、食べ過ぎて、お昼ごはんも省略しました。

The location is excellent and right in the downtown of Kyoto but not in the front street which will be too crowded and noisy, still there were some noisy from the restaurants and bar nearby which still played loud music even after 12:00AM, so not ideal for those people who needs total silence to sleep. This is probably the necessary evil when live in the downtown hotel, but the hotel is already in the back alley so felt a bit better. Cannot consider the service top quality since the hotel front desk is located at 8th floor, and there is only one person tending the luggage at ground level till 6PM, so no service can be offered at ground level, this is the part can improve since some of the high floor hotel do have ground floor service crew unless in a big commercial building complex. The room is nicely decorated and everything feels new, no complaint about the room. Although the breakfast is a bit disappointed given the very limited selection of foods and Japanese style breakfast can only offer limited number (25 serving per day?), this part can definitely make some improvement, at least inform the guest about the limited number so we can book in advance.

This Ritz-Carlton location sitting on Kamogawa and Hagashiyama mountains, is one of the best locations to stay in Kyoto. The architecture is gorgeous on every level as you enter the hotel. You feel transported to a particular place that you will never forget. In addition, the quality of service the Ladies and Gentlemen provides goes above and beyond any other Ritz-Carlton location. Staying at the Kamogawa Executive Suite was an unforgettable experience. Approximately 1350 sq. ft., the suite provides luxury accommodations that exceed the highest expectations of any guest. The bathroom is gorgeous, especially the bathtub, where the wall and bathtub are decorated with sakura flowers. The bed is comfortable, and the living room is quite spacious. One thing I would have loved to see inside this room is a Genkan to place shoes as you enter the suite. Preserving the floor and rug is necessary and educates foreign guests about the importance of doing this. Another aspect that I loved about this place was Mizuki. Every morning I visited it for a Japanese-style breakfast, and it was a fantastic experience. In addition, I went to one of their sushi demonstrations and felt that I had a lifetime supply of sushi. Every bite was delicious, and the chef went above and beyond to make every guest feel special. Please make reservations for kaiseki, tempura, teppanyaki, and of course, sushi during your stay in advance. The spa is also a must if you are staying in this location. It is one of my most relaxing experiences, and the facilities are excellent. As you enter the spa, all the details regarding the walk to the counter or attendant, the changing room, and the pool area are planned quite well, so the guest can feel extra special and disconnected from reality. Finally, I must recognize the Ladies and Gentlemen's hard work and dedication at the Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto. Thank Ana and Naoto, for your friendly welcome to the hotel and making things possible during my stay. Chef Tomohiro Goda and his team provided an experience I will never forget at Mizuki. Naoki was friendly and helpful as I researched information. Pablo and Thain were attentive to my needs as I left the hotel and provided a great experience as I checked out. Special thanks to Carlos for leading such a fantastic Ritz-Carlton property in Japan and consideration prior to my stay. This is one of the top Ritz-Carlton properties I have stayed in, out of 25 Ritz-Carlton. I will cherish all the memories that I gained from this place and will make sure to come back in the future.

Ich hatte einen erstaunlichen vier-Nacht-Aufenthalt im Ace in Kyoto. Das Gebäudedesign ist erstaunlich und setzt die Vibe für den gesamten Aufenthalt. Das Front Desk Personal war so freundlich und so hilfreich mit meinen vielen Fragen und Anfragen. Das Zimmer war geräumig und gut gelagert mit dem, was Sie brauchten. Der Schmelzröhre war der perfekte Weg, nach einem Tag rund um Kyoto wiederherzustellen. Ich bin vegan, und die Restaurants sorgten dafür, dass ich genügend leckeres Essen zu essen hatte. Das Hotel liegt im Zentrum von Kyoto, und direkt über einem Mall, das einige große Einkaufsmöglichkeiten hatte. Ich empfehle den Ace und freue mich auf die Rückkehr.

Service: Excellent service from hotel staff, spoke English, accommodating, helpful and cheerful. Location : Quiet area, right next to a train station exit, convenient location. It is close to Kyoto Station by taxi ( approx 5-10 mins), located at an intersection and was easy to grab a taxi. It is not located that close to the main Kyoto shopping street, but it's just a peaceful 5-10 minutes walk away from the main stretch of shopping and food areas. Great to explore the quiet side of Kyoto. Lawson mart just opposite, the quiet lane opposite had lots of quaint cafes and bakeries. What a wonderful find just walking through the little lanes opposite. Away from tourists crowds, immersed in local Kyoto city vibes. Room style and space: Room furnishing decor colours were so soothing, stylish pale sage greens, light cream and oak, modern and pleasant , light cream tones. Fantastic huge single beds and pillows, fluffy and clean pillows, huge sofa, strong showers from rain shower in bathroom. Loved every corner in my corner room. Spacious work desk at the corner, perfect for a working business trip. The balcony flanked the entire room length.. absolutely wonderful.. sat outside on the balcony and people watched. Bathroom amenities and products included face and body moisturizers, combs etc, all wrapped in classic stylish Japanese style. Perks: We received daily vouchers which we could use for lounge cocktail hour (free flow great selections of wines, beers, sake, hot drinks etc drinks and snacks) or for high tea set in the lounge area. The lounge area was so cozy. Wonderful vibes. High tea set was amazing, provided by famous patissierie that's located in the hotel lobby. Wonderful chill experience just before we head out for daily dinners. Facilities: We checked out the mist room and onsen.. so clean and stylish. Felt like we were at a W hotel. Overall super fantastic experience, wonderful ambience, rooms were new, stylish and cleanliness was top notch. Property itself is very new and modern. Perfect for solo or couples. Very quiet (some traffic noise, but not a big deal), peaceful neighborhood, chic furnishings. I loved my stay in Nov so much, I will stay again in future. Downside: The rooms face a few offices opposite, windows are not coated with opaque film.. so just be aware and not walk around underdressed in the room in full view of opposite buildings. Windows are definitely see through! Nothing the day curtains can't fix.

Wir haben in diesem Hotel 4 Nächte während unseres ersten Besuchs in Kyoto verblieben. Dieses Hotel ist sehr sauber mit schönen Zubehör und modernen japanischen Unterkünften in ruhiger Nachbarschaft entfernt von konstanten Touristenmengen, aber gleichzeitig in einem Spaziergang vom Kaiserpalast und direkt von der Burg Nijo entfernt. Es ist nur 10-15 Minuten auf Taxi vom Stadtteil Gion und anderen wichtigsten touristischen Attraktionen, die Kyoto bieten kann. Ich möchte auch das Personal von Garrya Nijo Castle Kyoto erwähnen, das uns sehr begrüßt und speziell Timothy Hui (Vorstandsleiter) begrüßt hat, der bei unserem Besuch in Kyoto über seine Pflichten hinausgeht und für uns spezielle Unterkünfte bereitstellt.

Die Klimaanlage und die Fußbodenheizung sind instabil und Bademäntel und Hausschuhe werden im Winter nicht zur Verfügung gestellt. Es ist furchtbar kalt, sich im Zimmer auszuruhen. Das Badezimmer befindet sich auf der Seite des ersten Stocks und das Schlafzimmer befindet sich im zweiten Stock. Das Design ist unangemessen und unpraktisch.

We were a group of 6 people staying at the Hotel Mitsui on a trek through Japan. Suffice it to say, that the group was all pleased that we stayed here. Our initial check in process was a bit bumpy (no tea service) as it was clear everyone was checking into the hotel for a holiday weekend. However, within 30 minutes, we were all on our way to our rooms. Overall, the hotel and the rooms are designed in muted tones and a modern zen vibe. Where other hotels would simply have drywall covered with pictures, the Mitsui has clearly thought about every surface. We were in a room that looked out to the central garden, which is beautiful. The room had a nice long marble bench at the entrance which was nice for putting shoes on or setting things down to pack / unpack. Further in the room, there is a bar area, desk area and a nice long padded bench by the window. Controls for the room are near the bed and you can dim lights or raise and lower blinds with ease. The bathroom is a very clever design with two pocket door entrances, offering a closet area, double sink, a wet room with tub and shower and rom for the toilet. The room for the toilet is wide and very peaceful. Of course, it comes with the fancy Toto Neorest toilet that raises and lowers the seat automatically, has a heated seat, has a bidet feature and more. The shower offers both a hand held and a rain head that with a fine spray. Bathroom toiletries are crafted for the Hotel Mitsui. Of course, robes were available (just ask if you need a different size). Let’s talk about sleeping…. The bed was among the most comfortable that I have ever tried (firm, with just the right amount of softness). Down pillows and a duvet complete the scene. And course, should you not like your pillow, there is a pillow menu. The rooms at the Mitsui are quiet with blackout shades. At night, gentle nightlights illuminate the path to the bathroom. In all, the sleep experience is well thought out and devine. One of the stand out features of the hotel would be the Thermal Springs in the basement. The Thermal Springs are a modern version of a traditional Japanese onsen. Access is open to everyone in the hotel, but the number of people permitted in is managed to in more than 14 people at a time. You have to call ahead to make sure there is space, but in our case, we were always able to get in. Anyone who out touring in Kyoto, should make time in their busy schedule to visit the Thermal Springs between their tours and dinner - it is a great way to wash off the city and relax before dinner - very civilized. This review is particularly fun for me as our stay at the Mitsui ultimately caused us to break up with our travel agent. He was SO insistent that we stay at the Ritz , he could not imagine trying something new like the Mitsui (nor was he willing o have his team check it out). In the end, I feel vindicated, we loved our stay at the Mitsui and would happily return

Unter den jahrhundertealten Stadthäusern in Kyoto war der Name Yusanjia schon immer stark vertreten. Charcoal House ist mit gerade einmal hundert Jahren die jüngste der drei Familien, daher ist es relativ einfach zu buchen, und es kommt selten vor, dass es während der Goldenen Woche nicht viel Prämie gibt. Check-in wie gewohnt um 15:00 Uhr. Ein kleines zweistöckiges traditionelles Stadthaus mit einem Innenhof in der Mitte; es gibt nicht viele Zimmer und es wird großer Wert auf Privatsphäre gelegt. Heute, wo der Raum voll ist, bin ich überhaupt keinen anderen Gästen begegnet. Nur fein gekleidete Generalinnen im Kimono dienen persönlich. Von der Kaiseki-Küche am Abend bis zum Frühstück am nächsten Tag wird es aufs Zimmer geliefert, und auch die Suppe und der Tee nach dem Essen werden in der eigenen Suite vervollständigt. Die grauhaarige Generalin ist flink und akribisch. Nachdem ich das Geschirr serviert hatte, hörte ich, dass ich heute Morgen um 5 Uhr zum Morgenkurs gegangen war. Nachdem ich den Kopf gedreht hatte und schweigend, stellte ich das Badewasser weg. Ich habe' So eine Ruhe und Rücksicht habe ich schon lange nicht mehr gesehen. . Das Charcoal House ist berühmt für seine Küche und die Teezeremonie in den drei Häusern. Dieses Mal hat es den Tag der Teezeremonie nicht eingeholt, aber die Küche ist nicht verloren gegangen. Verschiedene Fische werden auf unterschiedliche Weise zubereitet, wie Sashimi, Salz, Suppe , auf Holzkohle gegrillt ... wie Bambussprossen, Adlerfarn, Saubohnen und anderes Gemüse der Saison, der Geschmack mag reichhaltig oder erfrischend sein, die Portion ist nicht groß, kann aber der Vielfalt der Stile nicht widerstehen, und schließlich esse ich es beiseite. Sobald ich mich hinlegte, begann ich mich auf das morgige Frühstück zu freuen. Das Hotel liegt im Grunde nur 5 Gehminuten vom Nishiki-Markt und Kawaramachi entfernt. Von Shinkyogoku aus gibt es viele Cafés, Teekioske sowie Vintage-Läden und trendige Geschäfte. Zwei Schritte vom Hotel entfernt befindet sich der TNF Purple Label Store, der Abstand zum von NIgo geführten Menschen ist der Eckabstand und zwei Straßenecken entfernt befindet sich der Xinfeng-Pavillon, in dem sich das ACE-Hotel befindet. Im Vergleich zu Dongshans Touristen, die sich auf den Straßen drängen und weinen, kann dieser Ort als ein ruhiger Ort angesehen werden, an dem man einkaufen und essen kann.

After staying at minshukus, ryokans and western-style hotels over the last several days, it was a pleasure to end our Japan stay with 2 nights at Kyoto Machiya Fukune. The 2 of us appreciated the extra space of the Sangen machiya compared to our previous lodgings to just chill out, especially when soaking in your personal outdoor hot water (not onsen) bath or the indoor hinoki bath and looking out onto the compact zen garden. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms modern and clean. The included mini-bar (Asahi beer, sake, soft drinks and water) was an unexpected bonus! The welcome tea ceremony with traditional sweets (much better than that offered with the included entry price at the Okochi Sanso Garden in Arashiyama) was a far superior greeting than fronting a hotel reception desk even if one has to wait (about 10 mins) for Miki to arrive (which was forewarned in the pre-stay info); we were informed of our security code when we rang (using the complimentary phone in the separate arrival area) and could access the machiya while waiting. Miki was very helpful with local restaurant and sightseeing tips. Excellent pre-stay information was provided via email from Kyoto Machiya Fukune. While we didn’t use the laundry (complimentary) we did make use of the locker, which we found could store 2 large suitcases and 2 carry-on luggage with room leftover for shopping bags. It cost us ¥1500 for taxi/uber from JR Kyoto stn to the machiya. Once there it is only several minutes’ walk to various train stns or bus stops. Nishiki mkt’s western entrance is about a 10min walk away. This was my 3rd time in Kyoto with the goal to visit sights we hadn’t seen previously like Arashiyama’s bamboo grove and Fushimi Inari shrine. The Randen line’s Shijo-Omiya stn is just over 10mins walk away and the tram takes you into the heart of Arashiyama’s shopping *****, the Kimino forest and near the Tongetsu-kyo bridge. Then take your time to walk to the bamboo grove via Tenryo-ji shrine. They say it best to get to the grove early to beat the tourists, but it rained in the morning, so we took our time and got to the grove about lunch-time. While crowded, it wasn’t as packed as what we thought it would be, given it was a Sunday and also ‘golden week’ (maybe people were eating lunch). We also walked to and visited the Nison-in temple that was recommended by Miki; she highlighted the moss that covered a lot of the grounds; a very worthwhile diversion and IMHO better than the Okochi Sanso Garden we also visited). Had a late lunch in the local area then walked to JR’s Saga-Arashiyama stn; ¥220 to JR’s Inari stn (simple transfer at JR Kyoto stn) with the Fushimi Inari shrine entrance across the road. The place is pricey, but we’re glad we stayed here.
