Our room was HUGE with a beautiful view of the autumn leaves and river in Kyoto - and super centrally located to a lot of great restaurants and sightseeing spots in Gion. I am still honestly dreaming about the jacuzzi tub - walking 20k+ steps in Japan and being able to soak in the tub was a dream. I was also super impressed by the amenities, I've never been to a hotel that also provides a hair straightener but it was amazing. I loved this hotel so much and was very sad to leave it.

Everything was to our pleasure during the week we stayed at Cross Hotel in July 2023. Comfortable beds, a luxurious feel in large modern quiet rooms with a small fridge, good cleaning, extremely helpful reception staff. Complementary coffee in the reception area. Self-checkin worked fine with help from staff. The location is superb smack bang in the center of Kyoto. Sanjo station within short walking distance.

This is a beautiful hotel located in the historic center of Kyoto. Nestled on a quiet street just off the main road, the hotel offers a peaceful atmosphere, though evening traffic in the area can still be quite busy. The location is excellent — several train stations and bus stops are within walking distance, making it easy to explore the city. There is an incredible number of shops and restaurants in the vicinity, and many popular landmarks are within walking distance. Others can be reached quickly and comfortably by public transportation, especially by bus, which is very convenient in Kyoto. Check-in was very quick and smooth. The staff were extremely polite, professional, and genuinely friendly. Our room was spacious by Japanese standards, well-equipped with everything we needed, including a Nespresso coffee machine. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. Room service was excellent — prompt, discreet, and attentive to details, which made our stay even more comfortable and enjoyable. Breakfast was not overly varied but everything was absolutely delicious, with high-quality ingredients and careful preparation. We stayed for five days and never got tired of the breakfast offerings. The hotel also features a rooftop bar and lounge with impressive views of the Takase River and the cityscape — a perfect place to relax in the evening. The interior design combines modern comfort with subtle traditional touches, creating a warm and refined atmosphere. Overall, this hotel offers a perfect balance of location, comfort, and hospitality. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kyoto.

I loved it!

I loved it! Please get yourself to where the "Keage" subway station street entrance is. It is a 19th century brick structure. It took me a while to find the beginning of this walk--from Nanzen-Ji Temple > Kotoku-an > Nanzen-Ji Oku-no-in >Eikan-Do >Path of Philosophy >Honen-in then Ginkaku-Ji. This was a highlight of my month in Japan.

Going during the Sakura bloom is the best way to enjoy this...

Going during the Sakura bloom is the best way to enjoy this place. It can be packed of people, but the walk is long so you'll be able to enjoy it. You can see Koi fish in the river and there are some small local shops you should visit to get some food and/or souvenirs.
