Sakura Terrace The Gallery

Loved EVERYTHING! One of the THE best hotels i've stayed in (and ive traveled 70+ countries!) due to the amenities. The staff was incredible and super helpful. Could not get enough of the coffee station, free drink daily, live music, fire pits, coffee station, onsen, massage chairs again, etc etc. We arrived close to midnight after a long day in transit when it was raining. Easy, relaxing airport bus from KIX airport. Wish we thought to try the onsen! The other days we did the onsen, it was the BEST way to wind down after lots of walking. And then the massage chair after - golden combo! The balconies in each room really made the place feel spacious and a touch of luxury to have in Japan. 1000% recommend! Safe neighborhood, great cafes nearby (Kurasu Kyoto Stand is brilliant!), Don Quijote nearby too, as well as AEON mall + supermarket. A block from kyoto station which is incredibly convenient too! Kyoto tower is just on the other side with great views, and brilliant food on the food floor too!

The breakfast selection was very good, well worth the money. Self serving coffee and tea stations were nice. Free laundry service is also a bonus.

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.

* Room was comfortable, well appointed * spa- baths *Guest complementary beverage counter * lounge fire pits -* live music * Location-great/ convenient * Balcony for guest rooms * Multiple guest areas for seating * Massage chairs- washing machines /dryers *Fitness room The food was great! Suggest they rotate the dinner menu, I would have eaten there more than two of the nights!

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.
