This hotel is pretty centralized to many restaurants, shopping outlets and temples. The staff at the hotel literally went above and beyond. They were very patient and accommodating to all my hotel needs and answered all my questions. I recommend to add the breakfast option if you're given one. Breakfast buffet did not disappoint.. huge selection to choose from. They offered American or Japanese options for breakfast. Lots of coffee, cereals, juice, breads.. it was all there. The hotel is very clean, spacious entryway, there's a beautiful Japanese garden theme as you come down the escalator. The hotel is dated, I say 90's to early 2000's but the staff makes up for it. Gym is perfect for 2-3 people, kept very clean. You have to get the key at the front desk. Public restrooms were ultra clean too. Room was perfect for 1-2 persons but it was a little bit dated. Beds and pillows were a little firm. Free water bottles and coffee in the room, as well as robes and slippers, in-room safe and air purifier included. Plenty of drawers for your clothing. 4k 40 inch TV but only about 6 channels. 5 in Japanese 1 in English. Hotel caters to everyone, there was alot of diversity amongst all the guest, everyone friendly. The welcoming crew up-front were all amazing. The premium lounge is small but very serene. Fast elevators. Hotel’s overall experience was great. 10/10 I recommend J-Cycle.. it's a 12 minute walk from the hotel. Rent an e-bike for the day or few days. Best way to see the city.

Thank you for having stayed in our hotel. As you know, the Kyoto accommodation tax of 200 yen to 1,000 yen per person, depending on the room rate, must be paid by all guests staying in Kyoto City. We apologize for the loss of the luggage tag. If you tell us the details, we will look for it from the lost items. Our warm hospitality awaits your return sometime soon.

My experience at Kyoto Tokyu Hotel during 12/23-12/27 was great! They offers shuttle bus between Kyoto station and the hotel every 30 minutes. The shuttle bus helped us to go to not only the hotel, we used to access to trains for going to places from the Kyoto station and back to the hotel at evening. The hotel is located in convenient place, 10 minutes from the station and bus stops. My favorite part of the stay was breakfast buffet; they had everything what I wanted. Staff were very helpful. I would love to stay again if I have a chance to go there.

During check in they gave me hard time with struggling with room and number of guests. I had double twin bed for three people. They did not accept 3rd person until I uploaded the reservation. They even charged for Kid's breakfast, and their excuse is the booking includes breakfast just for two adults! Unbelievable. When I reserved, I selected the room with breakfast (not just adults).

Overall great stay. Good customer service too their staff speak good English. The best part is the free shuttle bus from Kyoto station to the hotel and vice versa throughout the day. The only thing is the space between my bed wall has a used tissue and a toenail on the floor from the previous guest which is gross. Other than that everything is great and i’ll come back for sure.

Lovely staff especially the bellhop/taxi callers. One of them ran out in the rain trying to call a taxi for us and ran back. Went above and beyond. The room was nice and spacious but the beds were quite hard and uncomfortable. Found 2 foreign hairs in our bathroom and was disgusted but it was 11:30pm by the time we checked in and decided to clean up ourselves. hotel itself is nice and clean but just the bathroom and bed that was disappointing.
