THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC

Big thank you to Sayako - perfect check in customer service - friendly and warm. Also thank you to the hotel and team for making it a memorable trip for myself and my parents. They remembered it was my mum’s birthday and prepared swan towels and during lunch prepared a happy birthday message on the dessert (do not have photo on this phone). Really appreciate the thoughtfulness. And thank you for upgrading my room to better view. Good: - Service was exceptional for my stay. - Location as others have mentioned is one of the best hotels in Kyoto - near the station you get off from Osaka - outside cherry blossom canal - near shopping - brought my suit for friends wedding day before just 5 mins away - Room size is good and clean - chair was stained but they replaced it when I mentioned it. - Espresso machine - under appreciated by other hotels but big hit with my dad - very nice touch - TV had screen casting from phone Nothing bad to really say just below points for travellers. - Paid over 10k HKD for 3 nights - to be expected at cherry blossom peak season - Have to ensure you are above 6F for a good view - Foot steps above for my particular room (end room 3 beds) was noticeably bad - hotel really needs to fix this - The shower bath door need to install feature to turn it opaque - 3 beds is usually family and showering is awkward with glass window - No spa or pool. The amenities in the hotel are lacking.

Chanced upon the hotel and loved it! Location’s superb, hotel’s very clean and most importantly there’s activities for everyone in the evening.. the room bedding and size could be improved for families though..

Beautiful hotel that's centrally located just opp the Gion district. Subways are between 5-10min walk away. Lots of shopping just 5min away from hotel. Highly recommended.
