Park Hotel Kyoto

"We had a wonderful stay at Park Hotel Kyoto. The location was very convenient and made it easy to get to many of Kyoto’s attractions. The room was a good size and comfortable for our stay. One thing we especially appreciated was the convenient laundry facility, which was very helpful during our trip. Having a microwave available was also a nice extra convenience. We also enjoyed the food at the hotel restaurant. The meals were very good and made it easy to have a nice meal without having to go far. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The convenient location, comfortable room, laundry facilities, microwave, and good restaurant made Park Hotel Kyoto a great choice for our trip. We would happily stay here again."

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was a masterclass in how to run a hotel. Clean rooms, a large powerful shower with superb water pressure and a very large and comfortable bed. The air con was easy to work. The bathroom had considerable amounts of shelving and there was plenty of hanging space. A fridge in the room is always great. So many hotels don’t do the basics well - this one certainly does and it was amazing. Great location near a 7-11 and train station too. A perfect base for exploring Kyoto and a fabulous breakfast too. Five stars 🌟"
