The room was very clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is conveniently located near the Kyoto Imperial Palace and in a historic area, which made it a great place to stay. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the convenient location.
Spacious room for Japanese standards , the staff was great and the hotel is very nice.

Increíble location … across the street literally from Kyoto Gyoen Park … one of the most enchanting in the city. Excellent quality mattresses and pillows and very good staff and a lovely lobby.
Great value and all you need to stay and enjoy Kyoto. A short(10 minute) walk to the subway line and then 4 stops to Kyoto Station. Across the street from the Imperial Garden which is a huge park, green space, and historical site.
Very kind staff snd great location beaide the imperial palace. Peacefull at night

I enjoyed that the breakfast alternated between Western and Japanese - that way I was pushed to try something I might not have tried. It was delicious and restaurant staff was lovely
The hotel was close to the station and the garden. The staff was very friendly and helpful however for the entire duration of my stay, the room spewed only hot air from its vents. It was incredibly hot inside the room at all times and made it difficult to sleep. Other than that, it was a good place
Bedroom very good size. Good location - opposite Palce Gardens, 10 minute walk to subway station andbus stops. Used for 5 nights, great base for exploring Kyoto's must sees. Very helpful staff .
The place was really nice. There were lots of food options in the neighbourhood. We didnt try the breakfast so cannot comment on it. The park next to was nice. The only few small things that was annoying, quite far from the main streets and no power outleta witg usd a or c and our power converter couldnt fit with the hotels setup

I had a great stay at Hotel Garden Palace Kyoto. The location was excellent—very peaceful and quiet, yet at the same time super central, with plenty of activities and places to visit within walking distance. One of the highlights is that it’s also close to the Imperial Palace, which made exploring the area even more convenient.
The only downside is that the rooms really need renovation. The hotel itself is incredible, but the rooms haven’t been updated in decades, which takes away a bit from the overall experience.
Loved it so much, we'll be back.
A big call out to all staff also. Thank you for being so amazing in tracking, locating and returning a lost mobile phone even though we were no longer staying with you. Your efforts are very much appreciated.
What I didn’t like was the bedding, which was very hard, the pillows, which were stiff, the lack of adequate air conditioning, and the entire key system, which was too complicated. The location was wonderful and the staff very helpful and polite. The grounds were beautiful, especially the restaurant which had views of a koi pond and gardens.

Not much in the area. Across the road from massive Gardens. 11 min walk from Train station. Nice hotel but location not ideal when commuting to daily tourist activities and doing 20,000 steps.
