Kyoto hotels near Kyoto Holy Annunciation Cathedral

Pros: The rooms are a good size (for Japan) and well serviced. The location is excellent.

Cons: The reception staff were not helpful when we experienced a problem with our membership card. They seemed unable or unwilling to resolve the issue which left us wondering why they bothed to have a membership program at all. The whole experience resulted in our seriously questioning if we will stay with the chain again.

Pros: Location and Japanese hospitality with a smile. Room was good quality. However, only one English channel CNN. Buffet breakfast delicious though not included in our booking which we picked. They serve complimentary coffee and small croissant in North building in the morning.

Cons: The room is really small

Pros: Great hotel in a great location. Only a couple of minutes walk from the subway station. Perfect for visiting the local area but also ideal for visits to Nara and Inari. The staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel was spotless. There are numerous cafes and restaurants within walking distance if you do not want to eat at the hotel. We would definitely stay here (or at other Royal Park hotels) in the future.

Cons: Nothing, a great hotel for tourists.

Pros: Great location! Easy access to bus lines and subways. The bathroom is quite large relative to the room size. Effective use of space. They can store your luggage for you free of charge if you arrive early. I did this and it was a huge lifesaver.

Pros: The location is good and there is a breakfast cafe near the hotel.

Cons: The hotel will collect extra Y$1000 from you on top of the other taxes you had paid through bookings.com. Clarify with them on the payment and they mentioned is their property customer tax. Not sure what does that means. Had stayed in different hotels in Kansai and only this hotel collect extra money. Is not a big sum of money but just caught you unaware.

Pros: Very nice hotel. Highly recommended from a world traveler.

Pros: The hotel has an excellent location. You are near the shopping areas and many restaurants. You are also close to many modes of transportation. Hotel staff was polite and friendly.

Pros: Close to everything. Convenient bakery/cafe next door (handy for breakfast). Guest dinner price & happy hour were good value for money. BBC World on TV was appreciated! More nvironmentally conscious than most hotels :)

Cons: Breakfast didn’t cater very well for Westerners (too few choices). Twin beds rather close together! Room strangely configured, making it hard to watch TV!

Pros: Small but clean

Pros: Good location, nice set up and convenient, very clean, nice people to welcome

Cons: breakfast timing could be extended during WE or propose alternatives opions

Pros: Excellent hotel in a very good location. Rooms are very spacious and comfortable (we booked triple). The staff was exceptionally kind and helpful.

Pros: Everything was as expected.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Wonderful hotel. AWESOME Staff, extremely friendly and helpful. Fantastic location. We were 100% happy here

Cons: Leaving.

Pros: Nothing was good about this hotel

Cons: The staff doesn't know English..rooms are too outdated.. Bed is too uncomfortable..pillows too flat.. The hall way smell really bad.. Breakfast was very bad

Pros: Spacious room on 12th floor with good view. the room was clean. the restaurant was very good - we had dinner there once and I had an excellent steak. We walked about 20-25 minutes from Kyoto main station to the place. a number of restaurants are in the area. overall it is easy to get around from there. this was the best hotel during our Japan stay.

Cons: Breakfast is very expensive (about 100 EUR for a family of 4). So we never took it. Close to the main station is a Deli France....we always had breakfast there before we did sightseeing.

Pros: Everything. Nothing was too much for the staff who were exceptionally kind and helpful.

Cons: Nothing to dislike.

Pros: Large room on 12th floor with view of mountains. 2 small double beds only which was a shame. Good bathroom with large wet room. Coffee pods much appreciated. Good laundry. All room items replenished daily including water bottles. Never ate in restaurant but room service breakfast was good.

Cons: Location is OK but not ideal. It is a 20min walk to main station or to Gion. It is easy to get bus or subway though.

Pros: Nice staff.

Cons: Coffee available at breakfast buffet was Espresso machine based. I asked for a drip coffee but it was not offered. Took ice coffee instead, which was good, but as a picky coffee person, good Japanese style drip coffee is important. Everything else about the hotel was good.

Pros: The rooms were big and comfortable. The location was very convinient. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Pros: The atmosphere in the lobby and proximity to the metro. Plus the nice touch of the origami as you come out of the lift.

Pros: Good service

Cons: All thing are good. A small suggestion, I didn't aware small items such as shower cap and comb can be obtained at lobby until the second day. Will be great if staff can introduce when checking in.

Pros: Good sized room, a 15 minute walk from the Nishiki market. It is close to a few tube stations. The room is a good size by Japanese standards with a fridge in the room. The room also comes with a WiFi phone to help explore and a phone multi charger.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: It's in a crazy convenient location.

Cons: I saw some small bugs. Not a big deal but surprising for a hotel like this.

Pros: Lovely room. We booked the triple to give us some more space, but I think it would have been fine with just a double.. Bathroom was tiny but functional. Excellent water pressure. Very comfortable bed (if you like firm) and memory foam pillow. Good location with subway stations within 7 minute walk (Kyoto Station 2 stops away) and bus stops outside the door. They give you a free cell phone with google maps which was amazing. Little interaction with staff as the lobby is not on the same floor that you enter the building. But they were pleasant when we checked in. Breakfast buffet was good.

Cons: The lobby isn't on the floor where you enter the building so there was very little interaction with the staff unless you got off the floor where the lobby was. While not terrible, but a little weird not to have that daily interaction.

Pros: Good location, some bus stops close to the hotel which are very convenient to visit the most touristic places of Kyoto.

Pros: Great location. You can soon walk to great eating places. It is also an enjoyable walk to the area of the temples. About 40 mins. Or get the bus from outside. Loads of buses, easy to use. Good breakfast.

Cons: N/A

Pros: The rooms were clean and big for japanese standard.Close to central station and gion etc.Buses were very close and easy to use.

Cons: Breakfast menue was lack of vegetables and western morning items.

Pros: Business hotel..mostly small rooms..I got a great one on 14th floor..two queen beds..three windows..views! All because they made a mistake... Third time I have stayed here. All non smoking.. Great staff..good English..well trained!

Cons: Amenities not as good as most places in Japan..most rooms are very small..beds are hard

Pros: Very easy access, very nice streets to walk around Kyoto

Cons: I liked all, it was a very good deal

Pros: Great location and price

Cons: Lift was very slow

Pros: It’s convenient close to bus stop where you can go places to visit. Also train station a block away called Shijo stn

Cons: The carpet on corridor has a lot of dirty stain spots and carpets smell a bit. The vacuum cleaner is so old that the dust from the canisters I can smell in my room and on the corridor

Pros: The parking attendants and the male night shift customer service attendant.

Pros: Generally walking distance (15 mins) to Gion and other tourist areas.

Cons: The service fell far below our expectations. From check-in issues (2 hours later) to house keeping (lack of attention to detail) and concierge (prepare to wait at least 20 mins to speak to someone who then will provide you with lackluster service coupled with some racial slurs and/or at best mediocre suggestions). On top of these service issues the hotel itself is very outdated; think multimillion dollar renovations needed ASAP (fire hazard cords in room, stained carpets). When we shared our thoughts with management they didn’t have anything to say.

Cons: The rates and service were reasonable but this isn’t like ‘The Westin’ I know. Major trap once in - everything over priced and foot poor to reasonable. Would never go back

Pros: Comfortable with all the amenities. Over the top helpful staff. Quality in everything.

Pros: Very good

Cons: No

Pros: Excellent breakfast buffet, close to Subway station. View from hall across room over Kyoto was lovely.

Cons: Location not in center of Kyoto, but Nestled in Woods and hills near temples. Hotel does not rent out bicycles.

Cons: Breakfast could have been better

Pros: The shuttle to Kyoto station can accommodate a large number of guests each time, although it is not very punctual in picking up from Kyoto station.

Cons: We booked the larger and renovated rooms on our family trip to Kyoto, but when we checked in at 7pm a night, there was such a strong paint smell in the rooms that we cannot stand spending a minute in any of them. We returned to reception desk and complained. This was clearly not the first time they receive such complaints. One hotel staff was helpful in trying to look for other un-rennovated alternatives, but unfortunately he could only find two other very old rooms available. We were unhappy about such options and escalated the situation by calling one of the duty managers. The manager came over, first saying nobody told him what happened, and then expected us to tell him the whole story. Then before he could do anything, he suddenly ran away to deal with another Japanese guest and left us standing there. Finally another manager came to explain to us that he is in charge but clearly with no authority to accommodate us in better rooms, claiming it was in high season. In the end, after 1.5 hours of unbelievable waiting we settled with two old rooms. The hotel threw in free breakfasts but we were so upset and tired at the end of the day. Very shocking and expensive experience at a Westin Kyoto -- please do note this is from someone who spends more than 2 weeks per month traveling and 5 family trips per year. 新装修的高级房千万不要订，全是装修的味道！最令人失望的Westin经历！

Pros: Better, by far, to reserve refurbished rooms. Rooms with a view are subject to traffic noise.

Pros: Very helpful and professional staff were easy to communicate with in English and a tremendous help at getting around town. Door staff did a great job explaining destinations to taxi drivers for us. Concierge staff did a terrific job making restaurant reservations. Excellent buffet breakfast included in our room price had very good Japanese and Western food, including eggs cooked to order. Satellite concierge at Kyoto train station provided convenient bag storage while we ate lunch prior to train departure. We found shuttle buses to and from train station every 20 minutes convenient and on time even during busy times (despite being warned of possible delays during peak traffic). Hotel is very close to Keage subway station which made it easy getting to central shopping district.

Cons: Room furnishings were comfortable but a little dated, with too few electrical outlets for today's common electronic needs. (We charged one phone in the bathroom and another phone by disconnecting something.) Bedside lamp provided inadequate light for reading. Fee charged for using the pool, which is small for a hotel of this size.

Pros: Staff was very attentive, location was excellent.

Cons: The gym was under renovation and thus unavailable. Had I seen this on the website when booking, I would have chosen another location.

Pros: Excellent location, pleasant and friendly staff, beautiful views, great amenities, convenient free shuttle.

Cons: Didn’t get to explore the hotel grounds or stay in the Japanese’s style rooms due to ongoing construction.

Pros: Staff were all helpful and friendly. The location is excellent especially with the shuttle bus service. The Concierge staff helped us with sightseeing and several restaurant reservations and every recommendation was excellent.

Cons: Breakfast is a bit lacking for westerners. Coffee served was very small in quantity, not so delicious and sometimes difficult to get refills.
