Ace Hotel Kyoto

Probably our favourite hotel in Japan. Our room was a nice size and the shower was excellent. We had breakfast included and the choice was really good. The hotel was very quiet and the beds super comfortable. Decent location with the usual combinis and drug stores nearby along with a Mac Donald's if you feel the need for a burger and fries! Loads of restaurants within walking distance and you are right above the subway for traveling to various sights. The good news is that you can get from the subway to the hotel without going outside. Follow the signs to the south unmanned exit and as you pass through the ticket machines go left and back on yourself and you will see the sign for the hotel by an escalator.

One of the best hotels we stayed at in Japan. This hotel just has a great vibe! Front desk staff are friendly, professional and welcome the opportunity to make your visit a pleasant one. Great breakfast options and three restaurants to choose from, all with excellent and attentive serving staff. The rooms are very well appointed and the inclusion of a TEAC turntable and a few albums is a great touch (need more jazz)! The location is excellent and there are lots of interesting restaurants and markets in easy walking distance from the hotel as well a a subway station just next door. This is certainly the place we will stay if we ever return to Kyoto.

I LOVE the Ace Hotel. Primarily, it's the staff. They are gracious, helpful, and welcoming. The hotel is gorgeous from the architecture to the wall art to the choice of music which is eclectic and plays throughout the day/evening. The room was beautiful and the bed was extremely comfortable. Great restaurants and the location is just around the corner from Sanjo Dori, a lovely shopping/restaurant street. I couldn't recommend the Ace Hotel more!!!

This is such a cool and funky place. From the shared coffee space in the hotel reception to the record player and albums in your room it just perfect in every way. Some practical things room has every amenity you could want the site has direct access to the subway station and the breakfast choice and standards is amazing i would recommend the Japanese Breakfast really authentic. Only downside filled us up for the day! Restaurants in the complex really good and local Izakaya (Japanese pubs serving small plates) were just brilliant see other reviews.

The Ace Hotel Kyoto is a fantastic place to stay for first time visitors or experienced travelers in Kyoto. It is in an excellent location, near subway stops and a short taxi ride from Kyoto Station. It's also near many great landmarks and located in a fun (but quiet) neighborhood. The hotel is a mix of traditional and modern, with a fun / hip vibe. The restaurants in the hotel are great, and there are also plenty of wonderful local restaurants very close by. The staff are informative, helpful and kind, and made my stay absolutely pleasant. Rooms are clean and well designed - perfect for recovering after long treks through Kyoto. I'd recommend this hotel as the top choice for anyone looking to travel to Kyoto.
