Cons: The reception staff were not helpful when we experienced a problem with our membership card. They seemed unable or unwilling to resolve the issue which left us wondering why they bothed to have a membership program at all. The whole experience resulted in our seriously questioning if we will stay with the chain again.

Pros: Very self sufficient room. Had everything that one needed and the size of the room was great. Staff are super polite and helpful. The ladies in the breakfast room are so warm and welcoming. Front desk people were fantastic too.
Cons: Rooms didnt have a view so it was like having a wall right in the front which felt very claustrophobic. This is something which should be told to people upfront so that they can make an informed decision.

Cons: It's a bit difficult to find the 1st time as the front has a typical Japanese wooden slatted front with a very small sign that leads through a Japanese rock garden corridor to the lobby. If you are not used to that, it can feel a bit confusing, but once you do it, it's quite lovely and peaceful and safe. We did not have breakfast this visit as it was disappointing last time, but there is a mini-market across the street to get everything you need for your kitchen and a place to eat breakfast on the corner.

The staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel was spotless. There are numerous cafes and restaurants within walking distance if you do not want to eat at the hotel. We would definitely stay here (or at other Royal Park hotels) in the future.

Not sure what does that means. Had stayed in different hotels in Kansai and only this hotel collect extra money. Is not a big sum of money but just caught you unaware.

The staff were unbelievably polite and helpful and courteous. The subway stop in the building itself make traveling to places like the Bamboo forest so easy. We had to leave super early on our last morning so we took a cab to the train station and this was not too expensive and fast. The hotel has an elegance of a by gone era while still having all the modern conveniences. Weddings take place below in some ballrooms but it still has a small hotel feel. Everything is so lovely. The beds were super comfortable and the sheets were luxurious making a good night's sleep after so much walking around. Everyone there made us feel welcome and special and were only too happy to make our vacation a great one. Overall an outstanding experience. Thank you!

Even a razor for men was available in a well stocked bath tray in the room. The only issue was that they had everything except cream/lotion. We were surprised at that.

8.8 Excellent
Pros: It was great to get away from the busy city of Osaka and head to Kyoto for a couple of days. Almont hotel had everything we needed - 7/11 was also about a 2 minute walk which was a great addition.
Cons: Would be great to have a coffee machine in the lobby or in your room without having to have breakfast there.
9.7 Excellent
Pros: Hot spring was very comfortable. Receptionist made a restaurant reservation for me.
Cons: It’s close to Kyoto station but a bit far from the main hot spots further north. Convenient to get to fushimi inari though
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Ease of use for a non native!
Cons:
8.2 Excellent
Pros: The hotel is quite close to the train station, which was handy but the area it's in isn't the nicest to look at. We found it quite easy traveling around the place from the hotel. The room size was good for Japan and the staff were polite. It had a public onsen style bath.
Cons: Children were using the onsen as a swimming pool when I went. Not very relaxing. No staff around to stop this. That was the only negative.
7.5 Good
Pros: Clean & friendly staff
Cons: Take a longer route to reach hotel from train station if you are first timer. Perhaps a detailed info to the hotel from train station (like which exit) in the website would be helpful.

Pros: Location was excellent, about 5-10mins walk from Kyoto Station. The area was nice and quiet. The staff provided great services and spoke English well. Great place to stay, would definitely book again for future visit.
Cons:

Pros: Close to the train station, nice staff, quite big room for Japanese standard
Cons: At peak time, WIFI was a bit slow
7.5 Good
Pros: The hotel in Kyoto we are quite familiar, have been there a couple of times in past years and could arrange our schedule accordingly. The staff is kind and helpful. The twin-bed room is big, well layout and comfortable. The A/C is quiet. We like the public bath after tired trip.
Cons: The facility needs maintenance. The room entrance surface is sticky dirty, bath room is the same. The window curtain shrinks length, cannot cover the window bottom in morning, we were forced to wake up at 4:25 am sunrise time, it took us one hour from sleepy dizzy mode to figure out how to cover dazzling sunshine: stacked all the pillows to window ledge. And half hour later, we were woke up by room service staff noise of next room. Well our booking request is quiet room...
7.7 Good
Pros: The price was unbeatable. The room was very clean and the hotel had a very nice feel to it. The public baths were very nice.
Cons: The room was a little too small, although I'm quite tall. (We stayed in their small double room, 1 bed.)

Pros: Great location, amazing staff, super clean, thermal baths, 7eleven open 24h next door
Cons: Nothing!
7.9 Good
Pros: Hotel is near Kyoto station (walking distance). Very friendly staff and excellent customer service. (it was raining outside and staff rushed to us with a towel when we stepped in the lobby) lots of eateries inside Kyoto station. We enjoyed the public bath.
Cons: Have to pay for late check out (extend 1 hr )
9.6 Excellent
Pros: It’s very help staff , bigger & very clean room , great location
Cons: None !

Pros: The Hyatt Regency was a relaxing stay and an elegant hotel. The rooms are simple, yet comfortable and the shower is spacious and steamy. I was pleased with the location as it was a quick trip (or short enough walk) to Kyoto Station and it was conveniently placed for biking to nearby shrines or the street market area. The bar has an excellent half-price happy hour and they make an outstanding (and cold) dirty martini that makes it extra worth it.

Pros: The rooms are clean and comfortable. The location is accessible by commuting by bus to the main Kyoto station.
Cons: 1. The gym is too isolated and quiet to access to. 2. We left the room for cleaning since 10am in the morning. By the time we return at 230pm, the room is still not clean. We have to sit at the lobby for 45mins to wait. 3. Breakfast for 5 days - we have the same type of food every day, no hot dishes and only minimal change on some cold appetizers and yogurt daily. And we can only allowed to take either continental breakfast or Japanese set. The food quality and standard is not even par with some local Japan hotels which we stayed before.

The bar has an excellent half-price happy hour and they make an outstanding (and cold) dirty martini that makes it extra worth it.
Cons: I view leaves much to be desired, but if you're looking for a hotel with sweeping outdoor views, then you will be disappointed. This is a wonderful choice for a simple destination that allows you to view all of Kyoto at a reasonable enough cost. It could be less expensive for what you get. The breakfast is not traditional Japanese and a lot of the elements feel like you're in a business traveler hotel, but as long as you manage your expectations, you will be happy with the accommodations.

Pros: Excellent hotel, clean, modern. Concierge was very helpful. Internet was free and reasonably fast. Location is a little away from the main sites to see but relatively close to Kyoto station. Overall, excellent place to stay. Please do not bring your kids here.
Cons: The entire hotel was generally excellent for adults, business travelers, solo travelers, romantic getaways. Exception was that there was one family with possibly the only children in the hotel running/stomping around. Not appropriate. Please don't bring your children, this is not Disneyland, or at least keep your children under better control.

Pros: Rooms might be a little bit old dated but they are nice, clean and sufficient. The air conditioning is working properly. You get free mineral water too. There are 3 restaurants to choose from when it comes to breakfast which is very helpful as it is a really big hotel which means there are a lot of people wanting to eat at the same time ;) . The location is superb! Just outside the Hachijoguchi of Kyoto Station. Surrounded by 3 convenience stores and some other shops (not including all that stuff that you can find at the station of course). Staff was very helpful and kind.

Pros: Good location, near the station; room facilities are good and comfy.
Cons: No safe in the room, I did not lock my suitcase (it was my fault), lost some cash. Been in Japan for more than a money, thought nothing unsafe in the hotel. Better to be careful with your valuables. We paid for a good lesson.

Cons: This is a really big hotel so you have to be ready to wait in a line to the front desk in the peak of the season or when few trips come by. Also, due to the size of the hotel some rooms are really far from the elevator so you have to carry/pull your luggage for quite a distance.

2.5 Mediocre
Pros: Generally walking distance (15 mins) to Gion and other tourist areas.
Cons: The service fell far below our expectations. From check-in issues (2 hours later) to house keeping (lack of attention to detail) and concierge (prepare to wait at least 20 mins to speak to someone who then will provide you with lackluster service coupled with some racial slurs and/or at best mediocre suggestions). On top of these service issues the hotel itself is very outdated; think multimillion dollar renovations needed ASAP (fire hazard cords in room, stained carpets). When we shared our thoughts with management they didn’t have anything to say.

2.9 Mediocre
Pros: The shuttle to Kyoto station can accommodate a large number of guests each time, although it is not very punctual in picking up from Kyoto station.
Cons: We booked the larger and renovated rooms on our family trip to Kyoto, but when we checked in at 7pm a night, there was such a strong paint smell in the rooms that we cannot stand spending a minute in any of them. We returned to reception desk and complained. This was clearly not the first time they receive such complaints. One hotel staff was helpful in trying to look for other un-rennovated alternatives, but unfortunately he could only find two other very old rooms available. We were unhappy about such options and escalated the situation by calling one of the duty managers. The manager came over, first saying nobody told him what happened, and then expected us to tell him the whole story. Then before he could do anything, he suddenly ran away to deal with another Japanese guest and left us standing there. Finally another manager came to explain to us that he is in charge but clearly with no authority to accommodate us in better rooms, claiming it was in high season. In the end, after 1.5 hours of unbelievable waiting we settled with two old rooms. The hotel threw in free breakfasts but we were so upset and tired at the end of the day. Very shocking and expensive experience at a Westin Kyoto -- please do note this is from someone who spends more than 2 weeks per month traveling and 5 family trips per year. 新装修的高级房千万不要订，全是装修的味道！最令人失望的Westin经历！

Fee charged for using the pool, which is small for a hotel of this size.

Just ~15 minutes walk from the bustle of Kawaramachi area and near multiple transport options - Kyoto subway, Kyoto bus, and Hankyu line's limited express stops (but will need to travel a bit for JR Kyoto Station!). I would only consider the location a slight negative if you are focusing on western or northern Kyoto (Arashiyama, Kinkakuji, etc.) instead of central Kyoto, Gion, etc. Easy food options minutes away, including a cheap supermarket (Fresco) and conbini. The rates for this hotel appear to be very good on weekdays/outside of peak season as well (I had the misfortune of paying weekend+Obon rates!).

9.2 Excellent
Pros: Spacious rooms , good staff , good location and good price
Cons: Air conditioning was poor ,a very bad wifi signal as apparently it works if you are close to the ground floor and less as you go up and bathroom was a little old
8.8 Excellent
Pros: The hotel location is about 15mins walk from the shopping area and Niskin Market. Furthermore, it is located nearer to famous ramen store like ippudeo. So if you need a supper it is great place to visit given the close proximity.
Cons: The room generally is alright comparing the price. However, advice is do not try to touch the curtains as it was super dusty. I touched it and the dust was scattering around
8.0 Excellent
Pros: Location good , staff very helpful and friendly and spoke reasonable English
Cons: Pillows were not very comfortable
6.3 Good
Pros: Close to transport both railway and bus stops .
Cons: The staff on our arrival did not read our reservation correctly and ended up putting us in the wrong size room and denied us our breakfast vouchers which we had paid for and had the print out confirming same . They wanted us to ring booking .com so we could sort out the issue which my husband refused to do saying it was their mistake not ours.After an hour or so of the staff telling us the mistake was ours the girl at reception realized she had not read the booking properly and she was the one that had made the mistake with both breakfast and the size of our room meaning we had been put into a smaller room than what we had paid for. This may seem a trivial complaint but when you have travelled for hours to get to your destination you just want an easy check in process which this wasn’t .With all the accommodation available the staff really need to improve on their customer service.
