I had a wonderful stay at Ace Hotel Kyoto. The overall atmosphere, design, and location were all excellent, and I really enjoyed my time there. I would especially like to express my sincere appreciation to the front office manager, Ms. Mari Takeda. Her professionalism and kindness truly stood out during my stay. She handled everything with great attention to detail and made me feel genuinely welcomed and well taken care of. Her service added a very personal and positive touch to the overall hotel experience. Thanks to her and the team, my stay in Kyoto was even more memorable. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to other travelers.

We had an amazing stay - what not to love? We initially booked 3 adjacent rooms for 2 nights and when we decided to stay an additional night, they made sure we could keep our rooms. The design is great, with some really nice touches. We loved breakfast, pizza and drinks at the rooftop. The rooms are spacious, cozy and comfortable. No noise from the street. Public transport is easy to access and the little shopping area next to the hotel is lovely. They provided great restaurant recommendations. Would love to return.

Ace Hotel Kyoto deserves more than five stars! The entire staff was exceptionally warm, welcoming, and attentive, but Shisho, the manager, truly made our experience memorable. When an unexpected situation required us to adjust our travel plans and stay, Shisho went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled with care, compassion, and professionalism. What impressed us most was the seamless communication among her team. No matter whom we spoke with, everyone was already familiar with our circumstances and ready to assist, without us having to repeatedly explain our situation. This level of thoughtful, personalized hospitality is rare and speaks volumes about Shisho’s exceptional leadership and the team she has cultivated. During a stressful time, they made us feel genuinely supported and cared for. We are incredibly grateful to Shisho and the entire Ace Hotel Kyoto team for their kindness and hospitality. They truly made a lasting impression on our family!

We had four nights in Kyoto recently and chose to stay at the Ace Hotel. We were very pleased we did. The hotel is literally 100 meters from a popular train station (Karasuma Oike) which makes it super easy and cheap to get around. A number of top sites like Nijo-Jo Castle are easy walking distance. The staff were generally young and enthusiastic and most had good English and the whole place had a buzzy vibe to it. The room we had was 30 square meters which, by Japanese standards, is huge. The whole place was a bit retro with a record player in each room as well as a blue tooth speaker if you don’t like their records and prefer Spotify etc. instead. We ate in one night and the food was good, though generally more Western than some visitors to Japan would like. Surrounding the hotel was a lovely garden and some trendy shops. The rooftop bar for a drink before dinner was really nice too. We used the free e-bikes on two days which were excellent. They can’t be reserved so be early or prepare to wait till someone brings them back. Overall, the Ace is perfectly located, very functional and a great place to base yourself while in Kyoto.

Overall we really enjoyed our time at the Ace Hotel. The rooms were great, very comfortable. The staff, we didnt interact with too much, but seemed friendly. The rooms were very clean. Conveniently, there is a coffee shop on the premises so thats an easy to way to start the day. There are also a few other interesting shops connected to the hotel - we didn't try the food. It's a little bit out of the way from everything, about a 10 minute from Nishiki market. Although there is a subway station right outside of the hotel.

Room was good. Location is perfect. Breakfast 🥞 was limited. Coffee is not strond enough. Breakfast located 7n a very unique place. Anyway, the service all over the hotel was second to nothing. Staff was amazing 😍. Near the hotel there is a massage place that was recommended by hotel's conseriag thatvis one of the best ever. I would go to this hotel again and again if i come back to Kyoyo.
