Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

Check-in and check-out were very quick and easy using the self-service kiosk. The staff were polite and helpful. When we checked in, we joined the hotel’s membership program and received a small welcome gift — a very nice touch! We booked a room for three people. Third bed was the sofa. There is no space around the beds, and there wasn’t much space to open our suitcases. Still, the hotel was extremely clean and felt like a solid 4-star stay. The location is excellent. Compared to our previous visit to Japan, this hotel had a much more central location. We didn’t need to use buses or public transportation at all. There is a 7/11 right next to hotel. We saw the breakfast at the hotel and decided to purchase it — we really enjoyed it. They make omelets to order, and if you’re open to trying Japanese cuisine in the morning, this is a great opportunity. They even served eel for breakfast! If you become a Fujita Members guest, you can also get a discount on breakfast.

Great location and good access to shopping, food and transport. Room was a bit squeeze but had everything we needed, even an iron which was handy. Quiet room and so close the Nishiki Market which was such fun. Good breakfast for Aussies which was appreciated as it can be tricky in Japan. Washers and driers were a bonus and a great guest lounge with lots of freebies. Loved their signature scent downstairs.

Fairly nicely sized rooms. Decent location: not terribly convenient to get to by train, but it is near lots of great shopping areas (and food). Walls in rooms and common areas are all in need of a paint job as they are all pretty extensively scuffed and marked up. By my second day here I started having respiratory problems. I certainly can't say that they were the cause, but I checked and cleaned the air filters for the rooms a/c and Panasonic air purifier, both of which were filthy.
