    “Large bathroom”

    I booked the larger room with separate bedrooms and bath and shower. My wife and I enjoyed it a lot. It worth the extra cost. If you are booking the smaller room just to be warned the bathroom is very cramped because it house the bathtube, seating shower and the toilet. The room is very comfortable and nice and neat as well. Overall loved my room. Their sister hotel Thousand Kyoto is very good as well with bigger room and zen feel of course it is a bit pricier as well overall both hotel are very good.

    “Highly recommended”

    It’s conveniently located near the main entrance of Kyoto station - a plus point if you have heavy bags to roll around when leaving Kyoto. Getting to the Shinkansen is also easy… you can take the lift down to the pathway that leads to the subway gates and go up towards Hachijo exit. It’s my repeat stay with them. And I will book their rooms again whenever I’m back in Kyoto (if they are available). Room sizes are reasonably comfortable vs the other hotels in the same price range. Highly recommended.

    “Our Favourite! Best staff ever!!!”

    We stayed in 4 different hotels for 2-week Japan trip, and this is the BEST!!! They are celebrating their 96 years and we can see why. The staff is super friendly and able to communicate in different languages. We shipped out luggages from one hotel to the next, and we presented the staff with a situation. We want o ship one of our suitcases to the airport directly, a week ahead of our departure day, and they helped usake that happen!!! They were very knowledgeable with the necesaary information including dates, location and everything you need to know. Staff is so well trained, friendly and so approachable. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!!! The room is the largest we have stayed in Japan. There aren't much walking area in the bathroom, but you cannot beat the shower AND bath tub option. The room is well decorated and include a sitting area. Their information pamphlet in the drawer included a brief history of the hotel, and it's very interesting to see the hotel's history including the meaning of the large tapestry and the central large lantern. We didn't try the hotel dining given that the underground mall is 1 minute away, but it looks really nice. Would try when we visit again. Location is excellent too. It's right next to Kyoto station so any travel methods are available (taxi, bus, day trips pick-up...etc.). The underground mall, Porta, is just next to the hotel. We would strongly recommend this hotel for its location, overall atmosphere, comfort and especially staff!!!

    Dear Kyoto Century Hotel Team, Thank you for the warm hospitality during my stay. Your staff were kind, attentive, and spoke good English, which made my visit very comfortable. I was especially touched by your thoughtful gesture of offering to send my luggage to Thousand Hotel after I softly mentioned my upcoming stay there. This proactive support truly reflects your outstanding service. Warm regards, Mr & Mrs Ho

    “pleasant and comfortable stay”

    highly recommend this hotel for several reasons: 1) location--just a 2-in walk from Kyoto Station, the travel hub of Kyoto, including the stop for the Haruka Express to & from KIX; 2) stuff--professional, courteous, and helpful; some of them can speak very fluent English, but generally all can converse in basic English, if language is a concern; a special mention--the concierge on duty was very helpful and had given many good info & tips for the surrounding book shops for new & second-hand books, as well as the necessary transport info and a walking map! 3) housekeeping & amenities--the hotel has an ingenious way of cutting waste and be eco-friendly--housekeeping is done every other day, but can request for every day cleanup if desired; they do replenish all the used towels, bottle drinks, and clean up all the cups/glasses used though; amenities-wise, hotel guests pick up their own toothbrush & comb etc at a counter in the lift lobby area, so it's very convenient too; 4) breakfast--it's worth adding it to the hotel package, as the spread is quite impressive, and we get to try and taste many japanese and japanese-western fusion dishes; they have enough 'western' dishes for those who prefer more continental/european style breakfast, but do try out the japanese dishes, which is really very good. check out the salad bar, really interesting and colourful, and delicious! 5) the light of Kyoto--the big lamp central piece--a good place to sit down and browse some interesting books displayed in the curved shelf. highly recommend it to visitors to Kyoto.
