    Cool vibe with helpful, happy and obliging staff. Great restaurants, bars and coffee shop. Well located and close to the subway. Rooms are not large but so well designed they seem to have a TARDIS quality.

    Didn't know to use vinyl record player in the room, even checked online instruction. It was a pity that I cannot enjoyed the music during my stay.

    1. All staff speak fluent English, is very friendly for me who can't understand Japanese. 2. Delicious breakfast. 3. Spacious room, bathtub. 4. Big closet, free pajamas and slippers. 5. Free still water in the room.

    … why would you have to log in a few times a day, every day (with room number and password) in a modern hotel in Japan in 2024?? Also the music in the lobby is quite loud.

    Very cool and hip, well done everything. And Stumptown coffee downstairs is great. Like the bikes, pity the e-bikes were gone early every morning. And the WiFi is a bit off…

    Breakfast was yummy but felt it overpriced for what it was. There are No real options for kids breakfasts on the menu even though the dining room was filled with families with children eating. We didn't have breakfast included in our stay but we ate here at the onsite restaurant on the first morning and I think for the four of us we paid $120 for breakfast. There are plenty of good cafe options around the area with western breakfasts that were half the price, but was definitely convenient for our first morning eating at the hotel. We had cocktails and ate at Poipiko the Mexican restaurant in the hotel one night and it was delicious. Highly reccomend!

    We arrived at 1am due to flight cancellations and missing our bullet train. The staff looked after us and made sure the arrival was smooth. They stored our big ski luggage in their storage room for our entire stay. Our family of four stayed in a Standard twin room. The rooms are designed cleverly and it is enough room for us comfortable for the 4 nights. We managed to use the front door area to keep our luggage and the bathroom and seperate toilet are spacious. Beds were really comfy. Rooms were quiet. Location was excellent with a subway below but also walking distance to the main shopping area. The back streets are great to walk with cute little boutique shops and cafe's you will miss if you stick to the subway.

    All historical rooms on the third floor face the street, and so noise is a big issue for light sleepers. I asked to be moved to a different room facing a side street.

    Modern, hipster vibe. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Room layout (historical twin) was very intuitive, and the room itself was quite spacious.

    Lack of parking space, and sometimes the staff wanted to end the conversations much faster. Should offer valet parking as guests who stay here, are usually tourists who find parking stressful given the other cars follow closely behind you...

    I very much enjoyed the Japanese breakfast set very much. The plates were wiped clean during our 2-night stay: )

    Such a comfortable stay. Location was perfect, easy to walk to the main areas of Kyoto and easy to get to from Osaka airport. Room was lovely and the bath was very appreciated after 30 hours of travelling. Really liked having the communal workspace/ cafe in the hotel. Would absolutely stay again.

    After our Kyoto visit, we'll be staying at Ace Hotels in the future, for sure. Located in a lovely part of town, this hotel was stuffed with creative, thoughtful touches that made it hard to want to leave. There are the standard provided items you'll find in Japan (toiletries, yukata), plus other nice touches (like a bicycle rental option) but I most enjoyed the records on offer—I frequently swapped mine out down at the front desk and eventually bought a few I listened to off of Ebay. The on-side restaurant/coffee offerings are great, and they frequently have art or music events happening, which keeps things lively. There's much to do in the local area, including the trendy shopping center that Ace is a part of; when you want to explore further, just jump on the metro from the station that's connected to the shopping center!
