  • Dusit Thani Kyoto

    Five-Star Hotel in Kyoto
    Avg. price/night: US$578.38
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.3
    Superb - What previous guests thought, 1,388 reviews
    We don’t often stay in ‘nice hotels’ so this was such a treat. The service is truly 5 stars. The hotel itself feels very luxurious through every touch. It was nice to have the swimming pool as being Summer and Aussies, we had missed being able to have a splash. Tattoos needed to be covered up, but it was open all day without reservations which was great compared to other hotels. Our view overlooked a Temple, the Kyoto Tower and some mountains. Room was spacious. Location good, close enough walk to Kyoto station. We didn’t dine onsite.

    This hotel was a treat to ourselves on our long trip and it certainly lived up to expectations. I didn’t give 5 stars for comfort as we chose the futon bed for the incredible suite with the wooden soaking tub, so not the most comfy bed but that was my fault!
