Kyoto Century Hotel

“So much to praise! In such difficult Covid19 times, staying at hotels can be daunting and feel like it takes away from the trip, but we had so much fun. The hotel has implemented safety measures to reduce the worry about the new virus. The breakfast buffet, featuring both western and Japanese food (and ice cream!), Has staggered eating times to help reduce crowding. You obviously wear a mask to the buffet, but not at your table, then there are plastic gloves to wear for the buffet and a bin by the table to put the used ones in once you return. There's a very simple layout with signs to help you and I didn't feel even slightly inconvenienced. The Essex bar has been shut because of covid19 BUT they have paired with an adjoining hotel to provide you with a close place to drink. Even if it closes early, the location is great and there are bars everywhere. You're not short of places to eat, things to do, see or buy! The staff were amazing, very professional, friendly and helpful. They made our one year old very happy by giving us a room with a view of the Kyoto station tracks. He spent a lot of time pointing out trains to us ”

“Proximity to Tokyo Station (shinkansen, short train to Arashiyama), close to some good breakfast/coffee spots (Lorimer, Walden Woods), good WiFi, nice comfy duvet and pillows”

“The rooms are beautiful, and the beds are so comfortable. The staff cannot do enough for you, they are just so friendly and helpful. We stayed for our honeymoon and my birthday, and so they left a flower in our room, and a hand made card. Such a lovely touch! And only a stone’s throw from Kyoto station and Kyoto Tower.”

“I love the room we upgraded to. Super modern, clean and beautiful Amazing staff super friendly”

“Good room and comfortable bed. Just great facilities and a good location. The staff were so gracious and polite too”
