Garrya Nijo Castle Kyoto

Beautifully decorated and spacious rooms. Very nice dining room.

NA

Large clean room. Excellent staff and very helpful. Helped with making reservations and excellent dining recommendations.

No pool or spa facilities. Bar and restaurant were by reservation only so if you wanted a quick meal or a happy hour cocktail, you had to go somewhere else. Only one sink in the bathroom. Had beautiful patio, but too hot out to use it and too many biting insects to be comfortable. Insect repellent would be a nice addition.

New and clean.

Taxi drivers do not know about this hotel, probably because this hotel is relatively new. Plus very difficult for foreigners to pronounce the name of the hotel to make Japanese taxi drivers understand. Time is cure.

Staff were very helpful and friendly.

Sound insulation was very poor. I could clearly hear the foot steps from the room upstairs.

great location, beautiful view from the room. exceptional service, excellent breakfast

there’s no roof or garden to hang out

This hotel is exceptional, from the staff, to the design and decor, and the fabulous rooms. It is well located for an easy walk or train to many of Kyoto's tourist sites. The 10 course degustation dinner at the hotel restaurant was amazing, as was the included breakfast. A special mention for the fabulous professional staff.

Nothing (apart from having to leave!)

A bit complicated but good

Pity there is not a smoking terrace
