Overall, the Ace Hotel was an amazing place to stay. The staff was mindful and very helpful, our room was confortable and the location was central. One of our highlight was the turntable with a selection of vinyls that set the mood nicely in our room. Plus, once they noticed it was my birthday, they made sure it was celebrated.

From the moment I stepped off the airport bus, it was a relief to see the hotel just a stone’s throw away. The proximity to these transport links allowed me to maximize my time exploring the city without the worry of long commutes or navigating complex transit routes. The ease of hopping on the metro for a quick jaunt to various neighborhoods, or catching a train for a day trip out of the city, truly made my experience at [Hotel Name] stand out. This hotel is a top recommendation for anyone who values convenience and accessibility.

The rooms are so big for Japan. The bed is super comfortable and the shower is amazing. I stayed in a number of rooms as we kept extending our stay, my favourite room was the one facing the street as it was quietest. The ones facing the river seem to have some low level noise from the Subway but it's not very bad my any means. I slept perfectly in all of the rooms.

Very nice and cozy hotel to stay in Kyoto. Very conveniently located to get to all the important places. Onsen is beyond praise - a super feature after long walks around the city. The restaurant is very tasty, and the staff does their job perfectly.

Great location, right next to the main station in Kyoto (despite that, the room was quiet, and we couldn’t hear the trains). The room was very spacious and clean, with towels replaced daily and cleaning every two days. Additionally, there was coffee, tea, and water in the room, as well as facial care kits. During our trip to Japan, we stayed in three different hotels, and this one was definitely the best—such a comfortable stay, and I would gladly come back again. Highly recommend!

Everything was perfection. Best service and meals we had in all of Japan. Much more beautiful history than we imagined, so we'll done. Would definitely return for another special night!! Our 5 year old daughter was well catered for and we really appreciated the garden off our room. Amazing!

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.

The best hotel I stayed in while in Japan. The room was large and the bed was comfortable. The detailed design and finishes of the room were outstanding. The bathroom colour for instance was an unexpected yet VERY classy. The staff was friendly and super helpful in helping me get around. I loved the reception area. Also well appointed with a beautiful stream view. The apéritivo till 10 PM was an excellent touch (sake collection, snacks, tea and coffee).
