"The hotel was in a peaceful location of Kyoto very close to the Philosophers path and surrounding temples. The roof terrace and complimentary happy hour drinks was a wonderful edition at the end of long day of sight seeing to soak up the views and relax. The breakfast was excellent - a perfect balance of fresh vegetables, baked bread and fruit and yogurt. And the staff were so helpful with local restaurant recommendations. Would definately recommend"

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO. The location was one of the biggest highlights—very convenient for exploring Kyoto, with so many restaurants, shops, and attractions within easy reach. The hotel itself is beautiful, with incredible views of the city. Each night, we loved ending our evening at the hotel bar, relaxing with a drink and taking in the view. It became one of our favorite little rituals during the trip. The amenities and guest experiences were also such a nice touch. During our stay, we were able to enjoy a complimentary show, along with s’mores and wine for guests. Beautiful property, thoughtful amenities, amazing views, and an excellent location. I would absolutely stay here again on a future trip to Kyoto."

The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff were helpful and accommodating, overall I would highly recommend anyone coming to Kyoto to stay here! :) I also had a little incident with the hair dryer and I told the staff when I was checking out. I told them to charge it to the room but they were not concerned about that, they asked me if I had burned myself. They were so thoughtful to this clumsy tourist!"
