The breakfast is wonderful with many Western AND Japanese food options. The service is excellent- there are some days at breakfast when you may experience a large crowd of people on a tour group. You may need a little more patience for breakfast during these days.The shower is fantastic - your choice of two different showerheads, a nice nonslip floor, beautiful glossy tiles on the walls, including a beautiful thick glass door.

The rooms are very small for two people with two large suitcases and two small ones, there is no way to circulate, the room is too narrow.The breakfast buffet lacks more egg options: omelet hard-boiled eggs poached eggIn addition, they were confused when they gave us the room, they gave us one with a double bed, I waited to take our suitcases down to put us in another room and the next day again aChange was three times I took the suitcases down and up through upholstered corridors that rub the suitcases and far from the elevator thatTiredness and not being able to organize ourselves well from the first night

The location has the same name as the hotel: very close to Shijo Station and Karasuma Station, and it is very convenient to go to Kyoto sightseeing areas in the east from here.The service from check-in, check-in, and morning is very good. The breakfast tastes very good and will make you want to fill your stomach before departure.Although the room would not be said to be very large, it is quite spacious for two people, not to mention that I am staying alone: ​​toothbrushes, razors, etc. are not common throwaway items, but can actually be taken back for daily use. The quality of this part is quite outstandingWill stay here again next time I visit Kyoto!

Beautiful hotel with very friendly service. Appreciate late check out requests and holding luggage due to train scheduling. Love the technological amenities like digital keys and being able to choose a room prior to check in. For a small space Hilton manages to make the room design flow well. Very clean and well appointed. Appreciate the dehumidifier in the rooms.For the amount of guests flowing I am also very appreciative to the housekeeping service in cleaning the rooms. Also we LOVED the fact you can check on washer and dryer statuses from your room TV. The location was centrally located and around restaurants and cafes. Would recommend to others and would come back again in the future when visiting Kyoto.We were not a fan of the breakfast buffet but LOVED the dinners/lunches. The waiters were very kind and courteous.

The young girl at the reception didn't say hello and just sighed, which was quite unpleasant. I woke up in the morning to the cleaning staff chatting in the hallway. Even though the facility is beautiful, the number of people is not keeping up.The 2,000 yen breakfast coffee is instant coffee from the machine...
