Staff was very helpful, clean, cozy room, lovely breakfast, good location
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.
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.
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
Spacious room for Japanese standards , the staff was great and the hotel is very nice.

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 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
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.
Wish to have a little more space in the room. Desk counter space is minimal to be able to comfortably put my cosmetics, skin care and hair care stuffs. Also the bathroom is unit bathroom that no counter space at all. I gave 4stars because location and food was excellent.

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.
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 .
I loved this hotel! It is within walking distance of a train station where you can easily get to the Kyoto station. The hotel is around a nice quiet area, and it is very aesthetically pleasing. The only thing was thay out our room was "non-smoking" but there was still a lingering cigarrette smell, but overall I would definitely stay here again.
