Hotel Okura Kyoto

The staff were very attentive and offered to take our luggage up to our room while we checked in with our tour group. The room itself was very spacious with an absolutely gorgeous view over to the East. The room included a paper that described the different buildings and mountains that we could see. The beds were a bit stiff, but that didn’t stop us from being well-rested and enjoying our time in Kyoto. We had breakfast in the Japanese restaurant on the 6th floor and were very impressed by the meal. The location of the hotel is very convenient to many places to see and eat at, and we look forward to returning in the future.

Wow! I chose this place because I wanted a lodging near the university somewhat. They offered a free shuttle to and from Kyoto station. The hotel itself was older but the rooms were quite large compared to typical Japan hotels. The facilities were great as well. The only downside is that the gym cost 3000yen per day. This was a real bummer.

Have to review this outstanding stay I had recently with Okura - So I had a walking tour at around 5:30pm and I reached Kyoto around 5pm via the Shinkansen …I had all my luggage with me … I hurried to the hotel to drop my luggage - ended up at the hotel only at 5:24pm - in hardly 15 sec - They Id-ed me - located their reservation and took my luggage ….I made it back to the tour drop area at exactly 5:30pm …I went back around 9pm - my luggage ready in my room!…just a prime example for exemplary service! I didn’t call in advance …didn’t even go into the hotel … everything ready for me by the taxi drop-off..Stay and room wise - just outstanding!! Very warm and welcoming staff!!!… Thank you so much - Highly recommended!!!
