Gate Tower Building Tours

Don't let the messy reception area fool you. This is a great place to stay in Kyoto! Fantastic proprietor, large clean room and comfortable beds. It's a great choice for a budget hotel and gives you everything you need for your stay.

As expected, beautiful spacious rooms with a refined and thoughtful local setting on a beautiful garden with the best looking Koi in Japan. Staff were friendly, responsive and helpful. We had to find a driver the night before when our guide cancelled and they found an amazing driver, fluent in English who kindly offered to also be our guide. Japan of course is overflowing with unimaginably courteous, kind and intentional people but still the hotel really helped us make the most of our last minute trip to Kyoto. Gym and pool are a highlight and again all restaurant recommendations were spot on. A very convenient location but tucked away in a serene property of its own. Not cheap but worth it.

Very happy with this property. Good location near Kyoto station. Room booked was called “suite”. I was nervous it wouldn’t be big enough for our family of 4 with tall teenagers but it was perfect. Pleasantly surprised we had two bathrooms which wasn’t highlighted in the hotel website but was nice. I’d stay here again. They provide laundry detergent so it was easy to wash a few items while there. 7-11 next door is convenient.
