Sakura Terrace The Gallery

Everything was incredible. It was very near to the train station, which was convenient. There was also a subway nearby. And 7 eleven around the corner. About the hotel - it was simply amazing. The room was very specious, with large TV. At the hotel restaurant there was live music every evening. The laundry room was with washing machines and dryers as well! When waiting for your clothes, you can use there a massage armchair! The room was always clean, the people who work there are incredibly nice and professional. Would recommend this hotel to everyone, who wants to stay in Kyoto.

This was our most comfortable stay in Japan to date. We spent 5 nights in a Deluxe King Room with Balcony. It had so much room including a chase lounge and a reasonable sized balcony. It was modern and spacious with a good sized bathroom and huge 75inch tv. The staff were all amazing and helpful and quite a few could speak English. The lobby had a similar vibe to a Bali open air lobby. There was a lounge with various free drinks geared to travellers checking in early or out late. The restaurant and an open air bar with 2 wood fires surrounded by comfy lounges. There was alive music quite a few nights we were there and a free happy drink each day. The public bath area was excellent, no cold plunge baths but there was a sauna with salt for you to apply to your body. There is also a free laundry (just 100Y for detergent) and plenty of massage chairs. Loved every minute of our stay here.

This hotel is only a 5-6 minute walk from Kyoto Station, but just off the main street, so quieter than you might expect. The hotel is split into two halves by a quiet road. We were in the South Side and our room was quiet, comfortable, and perfectly adequate for our 3 night stay. Free teas/coffee and cold drinks were available on the ground floor, along with 2 modern running machines, free massage chairs and a launderette. We did a wash as soon as we arrived, and just as well as it soon gets busy. (They do sell individual washing capsules at reception). The hotel has its own bar and restaurant which we used each night. Great for meeting other guests and sharing experiences and it is all reasonably priced after you have had the daily free welcome drink they offer you. The menu is limited but the portions and quality are good.

The room was a good size, and the balcony was an added extra. The beds were comfortable and a good size. The location was handy to the Kyoto train station, though many of the well-known temples were some distance away. They are quite scattered around the city, so it in some ways, the hotel location was OK since it was possible to take a subway or other train to the general location of the temple to be visited, and the take a slower bus trip to closer to the actual temple location. The breakfast was really excellent, and a complementary "welcome drink" every evening was a nice touch. Complementary coffee was available most of the time.

We loved everything! Location, rooms, sauna, shared space, massage chairs and ambience. And the breakfast was the best in my life! Arigato gozaimasu.
