Candeo Hotels Kyoto Karasuma Rokkaku

The hotel looks exactly as it does in the pictures and yet it still exceeded my expectations. Breakfast is kaiseki style and cold but let's you try a lot of the regional/seasonal vegetables. It's really delicious and nutritious. The public bath was simple but came with a lot of amenities. I was pleasantly surprised by everything and would stay here again.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, clean facilities. Two pillows per guest is appreciated. Water supplied daily appreciated. Onsen well maintained as we see staff come in to check and clean bath water. Peaceful atmosphere and elevators come quickly. They were accommodating and let us check in 30 minutes earlier when we asked.

Lovely hotel in Kyoto city centre, within easy reach of many touristy destinations. The vibe of the hotel was really chilled. We particularly liked the library to hang out. Breakfast was really tasty but please consider other options if you are not keen on a japanese breakfast with rice and savoury food. The opening hours of the onsen were also very good as allowed for some relaxation time at most times.

Loved everything about this hotel! Maintained the integrity of the traditional exterior and common grounds with tastefully designed modern rooms. Spacious room with comfortable bed, plenty of complimentary toiletries, and a relaxing spa (with real-time congestion availability via the TV). Friendly and helpful staff. Kim, who spoke perfect English was absolutely accommodating and suggested restaurants patronized by locals instead of the more common tourist traps. Located half a mile from both subway lines and tucked away from the main street I loved the peacefulness, charm and convenience of this property. Also there are many local restaurants nearby to choose from. Just walk around and let your heart and belly tell you where to go. (Pro tip; there is a quaint restaurant called Kitchen 109 directly across the street from the hotel that offers a meal with lovely sides. Just choose your main dish - I had the most tender pork katsu and it was delicious!

The hotel was more authentic than a Western-style chain. The room was nicely decorated and the bathroom/toilet was amazing. The entire hotel was nicely decorated. The HVAC system worked very well. Guests were quiet. Great refrigerator in the room.
