This art deco hotel is a wonderful combination of location, comfort, service, convenience, and cleanliness. The hotel and the neighborhood are immaculate, and there's shopping, fine dining, and sightseeing all within walking distance. We recommend this as a fine choice. more

A great hotel, english speaking staff, five minutes walk from markets, shops. With a basic map you have cracked it. Near the subway easy to run round kyoto. Way better than staying near the main station. I have been to Kyoto twice before but next time I will stay here again. Hotel does a great breakfast service and there is... more

I have to admit, we were disappointed with the size of the rooms. There is no getting around this, the rooms are small and even small by Japanese standards. However, the decor of the rooms was boutique-like with the pink stripes. The lobby is a bit strange but added to the boutique feel. Everything was clean and the customer service... more

On the basis of TripAdvisor reviews we booked a week at the Hotel Monterey (Kyoto). I was a little under the weather and was looking forward to checking-in, unpacking and relaxing at the Hotel. The amount of storage space in the room (i.e. drawers, closets, etc.) was approximately equal to the size of two cigarette packs. Our luggage had to... more

It just didn't seem possible in Japan. We called the front desk and asked for another room and after looking at several realized that... more

The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the location is fantastic. Positioned right in downtown Kyoto you're close to some incredible shopping, the subway and bus are close, and the restaurants are plentiful. Very cool lobby and internal design, and high speed internet for free. Having said that, I was a bit disappointed in the rooms. I know that... more

Great location - close to train, buses and restaurants. Fairly new, so some baggage couriers and taxi drivers hadn't heard of it - pick up a business card at reception to take out with you. Staff were extremely helpful, always available whether for a recommendation or a bus timetable. Clean and tidy, rooms are well appointed. Though they are fairly... more
