"Hello Kitty room was the cutest, a must for any Sanrio fan visiting Japan! And location was perfect in the Gion / Hirashiyama area, just a short walk to Yasaka pagoda, Kiyomizudera temple and a lot of the amazing sights in Kyoto. "

"Fantastic location within walking distance to the main area of Gion and streets of cherry blossoms without the crowd.
The room is so spacious and great for families with a baby or toddler. Our baby was able to play in the tatami room. A cot and high chair was also provided to us free of charge.
The kitchenette and washing machine / dryer enabled us to feed our baby and do our washing too without any stress.

"A lovely little hotel tucked away down a side street in Kyoto. Very friendly staff, nice room with good a/c (we stayed during an extreme heat episode so were very grateful for that). Nice eateries nearby. Would recommend."

"Stayed at the Blossom for five nights. Great location. Hotel was comfortable and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Especially enjoyed the amenities (onsen, laundry facilities, and coffee/tea available in the basement lounge) "
"I love the fact that Gracery Hotel is located at the centre of Teramachi mall. It gives you access to the best shops nearby and it is close to Kamo-gawa!"
"This is the perfect location for a good price in Kyoto. It seems to be a recent construction, as the materials and finishes look modern and new. We were not looking for extensive amenities such as gym, shops, etc. We stayed for 7 nights in order to carry out daily trips from Kyoto while still enjoying the city during late afternoons. The breakfast buffet is great, lots of traditional and non-traditional foods served from 6:30am, which was a plus to start early our days. The rooms extremely quiet, clean, and the rooms big for Japan standards. The bathroom was even larger than expected. The shower is a separate room with an integrated tub which was a good surprise. The 7-eleven connected to the hotel is super convenient for late snacking. So we were extremely satisfied as it is so close that made everything so convenient. Highly recommend if this is what you are looking for!"
"in true Japanese character, the hotel was in perfect form from both the staff engagement to the facilities. This is not even taking consideration of the location being significantly convenient being above the train station which in itself for Western standards is well above our expectations."
"We had a fantastic stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. We stayed in a suite and the room was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed and high quality amenities. Housekeeping did an excellent job maintaining the room throughout our visit. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were very attentive. Location-wise, the hotel is perfectly situated to major attractions. I would definitely stay here again if I visited Kyoto again. "
"One of the best managed properties in Japan, very pleasant experience, very good fragrance all around the hotel, great breakfast, very good and very clean room and amazing view of Kyto city from roof."
