Our check it was easy and the room was very nice and most importantly, very clean! We loved the rooftop bar & restaurant- it was very nice to end our days up there with the amazing view! The 3rd floor lounge area was very nice to have - what a great surprise!
The staff were always very helpful also.
I can’t wait to return!
Only one negative…I wish the bar were open just a little earlier in the evening.
Wonderful stay for 4 nights. Everything was perfect. Stayed in the schoolhouse and had a beautiful room with high ceilings and 8 windows overlooking the city streets. Breakfast
We stayed 5 days at The Gate. Had an amazing experience! Wonderful location right behind Pontocho Alley! It’s is centrally located close to happening places and various attractions, yet it is a quiet oasis. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The breakfast is great - offering Japanese and western options. The view from the 7th floor lounge is stunning. Overall a great place to stay in Kyoto!
My son and I really enjoyed our stay at The Gate Hotel Kyoto. The location is excellent, with convenient access to shops, restaurants, nightlife, and public transportation, including both bus and metro stations.
The hotel itself is beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. One of the highlights was the bar and lounge area on the third floor, which offers complimentary non-alcoholic beverages such as coffee and tea, snacks, and even free wine during designated hours. It was a wonderful place to relax after a day of sightseeing.
Most importantly, the hotel staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. Their outstanding service made our visit even more enjoyable. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend The Gate Hotel by HULIC to anyone visiting Kyoto.
love the Japanese breakfast. Will visit and stay her again. Staff are very helpful. Property is very convenient. walking distance to Kamo river, Gion area etc.
Excellent location, the room was great, bathroom and shower was wonderful, and breakfast was good. Would highly recommend. It was our favorite hotel of the three we stayed in while we visited Japan.
This is a great location walking to Temples, restaurants and shopping. I won ever stay in a different location. Staff accommodating, and rooms clean. Amenities worth it!
