We really enjoyed our five night stay at The Gate Hotel Kyoto. The check in staff were very efficient and friendly, especially given there was a large group checking in at the same time. At first, I thought our room was a bit basic, but it was actually very nice. We were on the seventh floor with a beautiful view of the mountains. It was so nice to wake up to this each morning. And the bed and pyjamas provided were very comfortable. We would highly recommend those rooms. Breakfast was good, and for our five night day it was sufficient. (The only recommendation I would have, is more hooks or luggage racks in the room. We did request one which was promptly brought to us) The best thing about the Gate Hotel Kyoto, is the fantastic location. You walk out of this quiet hotel, and you’re in the streets with tons of restaurants and shopping and an incredibly lively atmosphere. We are a retired couple and definitely enjoyed the neighborhood. If you are staying in Kyoto for more than a couple nights, I would highly recommend this area as it just offers so much. It is also convenient to get to Kyoto station by train, bus or taxi.

We got upgraded to a large suite with a beautiful piece of artwork! The staff was courteous and was very helpful in forwarding my luggage to Tokyo. The location of this hotel is perfect - steps away from Pontocho Dori and Gion. The Gion Shijo station was very convenient for sightseeing in Kyoto and day trips outside of Kyoto. Highly recommend this hotel!
