I had a great stay at THE GATE Hotel in Kyoto! The property is modern, clean, and well-maintained. One of the highlights is definitely the top floor, where the reception and bar are located—it offers a stunning panoramic view of the city, especially at sunset. The location is super convenient, just a short walk from the train station and close to several local attractions, which made it easy to explore Kyoto. Overall, a comfortable and stylish place to stay. I’d definitely come back!

Beautiful hotel with a beautiful room. Very spacious and the tub was perfect for relaxing. The staff were very kind and helpful. In a great location by the river and a lot of restaurants.

The property itself was nice and the staff was helpful. They have a Concierge to help you with any reservations needed or travel plans. The food was okay, and the beds were very hard. But the location was very convenient across from the train station. The hotel is very busy.

We absolutely loved the onsen/natural springs!
The room was very stylish and lovely.
The hotel really relaxed us after a day of sightseeing. Nothing like a good soak to relax your mind AND body! We stayed in two other hotels during our 8 night stay in Japan and we voted this one our favorite!

Excellent property and staff. The afternoon sweets and cocktails should not be missed. Note, they stop admitting people about 30 minutes before closing time so give yourself some extra time.

I loved my stay at the Royal Park hotel. The location was perfect, walkable to many stores restaurants and train stations. The room was bigger than other ones I’ve stayed in so that was a plus. Can’t recommend it enough :)

This hotel is fabulous. The rooms are stylish and the location could not be better. It is right next to a subway station and an easy trip from Kyoto station. The breakfast is tasty with many choices. The rooms are a little on the small side for Americans...we are from New York City so pretty typical for NYC standards. Would 100% stay here again. Five star for food, design, location, and service.
