The Kyoto Century Hotel is a fantastic establishment. Staff are friendly, attentive and courteous. Rooms have king sized bed, mini fridge and the hotel provide yukata. The only snag we had was with the check-in process. Check-in is at 3pm and the hotel uses a self check-in computer kiosk (there is only 3 of them). It's a little overwhelming having only 3 kiosks and all the hotel guests trying to check-in all at once. But staff are there to help streamline the process as best as they can. Not the end of the world. You are however able to check your luggage in with the hotel before check-in time if you arrive early and your luggage will be waiting for you in your room. Hotel location is minutes walk away from the Kyoto Station and shopping district. We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Kyoto Century Hotel.

Convenient for the station

The hotel was right next door to the main station so was perfectly situated in our opinion. The access was via an escalator and the reception was by the main restaurant and bars. The staff are very attentive and made checking in a simple and quick job. The room we had was lovely, quiet and not overlooked at all.

Great Location

Super convenient location to the Kyoto Station. Comfortable room with great shower and tub. The hotel caters to a lot of European groups, so there was always a long line for the buffet breakfast. We did not opt to include breakfast as there are almost endless options and choices at the nearby station and surrounding area.

We loved the convenience of this hotel being across the street from Kyoto Station. The staff were friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable. We didn't enjoy how small and cramped the room was. The ceiling is low in several places which wasn't ideal for my fiancé. There is a large step up into the shower room and a step up into the toilet room. The lighting in the bathroom was not helpful for makeup.
