No question, the best. An architectural dream hotel. Perfect location is a super quiet but cool neighborhood overlooking the river. Short walk along smaller river to all kinds of restaurants and shops.
Great service, great food, cool little bar. So so great.

This is a gorgeous place to stay, the staff is very friendly and very helpful. The hotel lobby is very discrete the staff is very welcoming and they gave us great suggestions for lunch and dinner very close. They arranged bikes to rent which were delivered right to our hotel
We did not do breakfast at the hotel as we wanted to explore near by cafe. There is an amazing bakery right next door, an absolute MUST.
This is a very stylishly decorated place the rooms are immaculate the beds are plush...

10/10 Excellent
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!
