We liked everything, except the hotel didn’t have a charger for an EV vehicle. In this modern day world you would expect a modern hotel to have EV charging stations. 12 o’clock check out was perfect I must add. That extra hour gives the guest a little more time to do shopping and check more things off the to-do-list.

All five-star hotels in Kyoto

Looking for a five-star hotel?

When the accommodation is just as important as the destination, a five-star stay should give that extra ‘wow’ factor as you enter the lobby. As well as offering the kind of service to make you feel like royalty, you’ll usually find highly rated on-site spas, gourmet restaurants and top-of-the-line beds you won’t want to get out of.

    We don’t often stay in ‘nice hotels’ so this was such a treat. The service is truly 5 stars. The hotel itself feels very luxurious through every touch. It was nice to have the swimming pool as being Summer and Aussies, we had missed being able to have a splash. Tattoos needed to be covered up, but it was open all day without reservations which was great compared to other hotels. Our view overlooked a Temple, the Kyoto Tower and some mountains. Room was spacious. Location good, close enough walk to Kyoto station. We didn’t dine onsite.

    This hotel was a treat to ourselves on our long trip and it certainly lived up to expectations. I didn’t give 5 stars for comfort as we chose the futon bed for the incredible suite with the wooden soaking tub, so not the most comfy bed but that was my fault!
