Sakura Terrace The Gallery

Location: Very convenient location as it's right next to Kyoto station. You'll be able access Kyoto very easily from here. Stay: Very spacious room. Nice balcony area to sit and relax. Photos give an accurate representation on the size. Laundry was free. They offered free drink service at night (alcohol and non-alcohol) at the restaurant on the ground floor. The vibes were amazing here, live music playing in the restaurant and relaxing in the lounge by the firepit was awesome. Quite enjoyed the different varieties of coffee beans that you can grind and drip brew. Breakfast was excellent and fresh, seems a lot of the food was made in house, with a mix of different options available, seating can be limited so make sure you leave enough time.

A very convenient location. The breakfast is a bit pricy but they deliver great quality breakfast. I also love the onsen and that it caters until 1am, especially for those who just came back late from sightseeing and bar hopping around the city, to be able to relax after all the hustle and bustle of a day is the best! Bed, pillows were comfortable and the room was clean! Make sure to stay here everytime you come to Kyoto, 'cause for sure, we will!

Everything was great! Very good location, next to the station, but very calm and quiet. Breakfast was the best we had in our 3-week trip in Japan. Rooms are quite spacious compared to the average. The Onsen (SPA) was so relaxing after the day of exploring Kyoto. It's separate for men and women and is located in the building right next to the hotel. You do need to go through outside but there are slippers provided and umbrellas in case it rains outside. The Onsen has everything you need - from shampoos/conditioners to hair combs, make-up removals, etc. This hotel really thought about everything. :) I will certainly stay here again if I'm in the area next time.

There are several Sakura hotels, but The Gallery was the best by far. Big rooms with a balcony, really modern and comfortable. Not noisy at all. The bed is large and you sleep like a baby. The public bath is for all hotel guests, quite good and tattoos are allowed. In the main area there is a chill-out area with free drinks all evening. The restaurant (evening) is good value for money, even if the service is not so professional. There’s live music and fireplaces to sit around. We would definitely come back :-)

Very nice staff, we were able to leave the luggage at the reception before our check-in time which was very usefull. The room was quite spacious and also had a balcony. The hotel provides A LOT of free amenities such as washing and drying the laundry, welcome drink every night, tea/coffee/water during the day, onsen, gym, massage chairs. Really great hotel. The laundry station may get busy as this is a big hotel. The breakfast looked amazing but we did not decide to take it. The price was 2300 ¥ per person and there are limited number of seats available fot breakfast. If you know in advance that you want to have breakfast at the hotel, make sure to include it in your reservation as otherwise you may not get the seat. There are not a lot of places offering continental breakfast in Kyoto so the breakfast at the hotel may be handy.
