Thank you very much for staying at Cross Hotel Kyoto.We are very pleased to receive your compliments on our location, well-equipped guest rooms, and the breakfast.However, we apologize for the inconvenience regarding the hair dryer.When we checked the setting after your stay, it was set at 100-120V (high) and the air volume was fine, but we believe that it was mistakenly set at 200-240V (low) at the time of your stay. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by our failure to check the settings during cleaning.We have shared your comments with the cleaning supervisor and instructed the cleaning staff to thoroughly check the settings, including the operation of the room.We are also sorry that the shampoo does not match your hair well.Our Standard rooms and Superior rooms are provided with "PROVINSCIA" bath amenities which are made with organic botanical extracts from France, and our Deluxe and Suite rooms are provided with Nu Therapy. If you have the opportunity, it would be grateful if you could try to stay in our Deluxe room(32-47).

Room was well designed and appointed. It was more spacious than I was expecting. Self check-in/out was smooth. Quiet location 50m from main shopping street with lots of dining options. Kayamachi-dori street was just next to hotel; picturesque and bustling at night, reminding of Amsterdam. Walkable to Gion district (20 minutes). Very polite and helpful staff. Concierge /receptionist ordered a taxi for me and asked me to sit down while she waited outside for it.

Only real down-side is that floor/ceiling is pretty easy to hear through. Nice rooms. Easy check-in/out. Relatively spacious rooms given the area. Lots of shopping, restaurants, and stuff to do. You'll want to get the Kyoto day pass to make getting around a bit less expensive.

Thank you for choosing to stay with Cross Hotel Kyoto and for your review.We are really sorry about the lack of view in your room. Since our hotel is located in the downtown area with adjacent buildings only a few feet away, we are required to frost the windows of some of our guest rooms on lower floors to protect privacy. We do have rooms with a view and would recommend you to contact our Reservations team to request a room without frosted windows on your next stay.We appreciate despite this, you still mention us as "nice" and rated us so highly.Thank you again for taking the time to write us an awesome review.

This hotel is convenient to restaurants, shopping, and transportation. We enjoyed strolls through Pontocho and along the river. I could not think of a better location in Kyoto. We were pleased by how spacious and well-appointed our room was for a family with two adults and two children. The concierge provided top notch service helping us to make dinner reservations. The staff at checkin was extremely friendly and made sure to acknowledge us when he saw us in the lobby on subsequent days by asking how our stay was and if he could do anything to help us. We would recommend this hotel highly to anyone traveling to Kyoto.

Great location but not soundproof so you can hear all the night clubs on the street until 5am. Great spacious room with black out curtains. Breakfast buffet had a large selection and there were free to use umbrellas at the front. Everything within walking distance or short train/bus ride away. Customer service was lacking a bit, long wait times for service. Not bad overall but due to the noise and lack of service, I would not stay again.

Hotel room was great. Clean, nice amenities and water pressure will nearly blow you not only out of the bathroom, but the hotel room! Great location - walked to Nishiki market, Pontocho Alley and Kyoto University. If I could offer some constructive feedback: Check in was neither a good or welcoming experience. So much confusion with 4 people trying to check in at the same time on these impersonal computer kiosks and not at a lobby counter, but everyone needed help. It slowed down the whole process, was frustrating and didn’t feel luxury or welcoming in any way. Also, the wifi in the rooms was terrible- spotty at best.

Wow! I was pleasantly surprised by the amazing Cross Hotel. I'm always worried about choosing hotels - that the reviews are inaccurate etc. Not with the Cross! Front staff and check in - remarkable. Breakfast buffet - out of this world. Rooms - so clean, so modern, so chic. Bathrooms - fantastic. I can't say enough good things about the Cross. Very relaxing environment. Lovely lobby area to sip coffee early in the morning and relax before enjoying Kyoto. Happy Travels!

I love this hotel. This was my third stay at the Cross Hotel, and my best. The staff at reception welcomed me to the hotel, offered me a wonderful room upgrade and gave me a discount coupon for the restaurant. All of my interactions with staff were professional and pleasurable; and I watched them work tirelessly and patiently with the many tourists from around the world who had come to visit Kyoto. The location of the hotel couldn't be more central. It is convenient to buses, the subway, and the Keihan train line--making it easy to visit Kyoto's temples, shrines, gardents, etc.--and there's actually a ton of touring to do within walking distance. I had a wonderful stay in a comfortable, stylish room with a view--and for a reasonable price. I recommend this hotel enthusiastically to any and all who are anxious to experience the beautiful city of Kyoto.

Quaint side street connecting one busy, but cool street and one cute peaceful smaller street. Hotel was beautiful with a luxurious feel I had to go back and verify how much I paid because it felt expensive. Very very helpful front desk. Easy to understand. Gorgeous room and shower. Love that they had a small closet for coats. Loved slippers, but pajamas were too small even for small people. Poor view from back of the hotel. Love, love, love this hotel!!

Thank you for choosing to stay with Cross Hotel Kyoto and for sharing your glowing review with us. We are so pleased to know that you were impressed with many aspects of your stay with us including our luxurious feeling of our hotel.However, we are sorry the Pajamas were too small for you. The Pajamas at the guest rooms are M and L, and we also offer XL and Kids sized Pajamas upon request. Please feel free to contact the front desk if you have any issue during your stay.Regarding the view from the room, since our hotel is located in the downtown area with adjacent buildings only a few feet away, we cannot guarantee a good view in all of our rooms. However, we do have rooms with a view and would recommend you to contact our reservations team for more information the next time you plan to stay with us.Thank you again for your perfect rating, and we look forward to welcoming you back to us soon.Warm regards, Cross Hotel Kyoto

Very nice hotel in a great area. Close to shopping and transit. Close to Gion. Good rooms, nice beds. Nice staff. Breakfast at the hotel was the only disappointment. Chaotic, long line ups for poor quality coffee, slow check in process for breakfast, food set up unorganized . All contributed to a frustrating start to he day. Nevertheless, a good hotel with comfortable rooms in a good location.

Thank you for choosing to stay with Cross Hotel Kyoto and for sharing your thoughts.We apologize for not being able to provide you with a pleasant dining experience due to the crowd at breakfast.Your comment has been passed on to the restaurant management team for review, and we will make efforts to establish operations to improve the crowded breakfast environment.Regarding the coffee provided in the lobby, it is made from coffee beans from the well-established Italian brand "Lavazza," known for its delicious aroma and rich flavor, and we are sorry if it was not to your liking. Your all comments have been noted for improving future guest experiences.We were relieved despite this, you still had a good experience with our guest rooms and the staff that rated us so highly.Once again, thank you for your valuable feedback, and all of our staff will do our best to provide you with a better stay.Kind regards, Cross Hotel Kyoto
