    Grand Comfort Deluxe Triple Room - Non-Smoking, No Extra Bed Removal Allowed
    Stayed 1 night in April 2026

    “Travel of three sisters in their 70s”

    First of all, being close to the station was very convenient. The lobby right after entering was spacious, open, luxurious, and lovely. Since we had the Grand Comfort Deluxe Triple room, it was great that the bath and toilet were separate. The breakfast was delicious, and since it was in a booth, we could relax and take our time. Most importantly, the staff were kind, and everyone was very pleasant. As expected from the Century Hotel, I highly recommend it.

    “Breakfast is the best.”

    This will be my second stay. It is conveniently located next to Kyoto Station, making shopping and moving around easy. I chose it because the breakfast suits my taste. I enjoyed it deliciously. Since I made a last-minute decision, it's unfortunate that I booked at a very low price, so the bathroom and toilet were small, and there was no vanity in the room, which was inconvenient. Therefore, next time I want to make sure to check the room size before booking.

    “The staff's response is pleasant.”

    The location is excellent in terms of cost-effectiveness. We were able to comfortably travel with our luggage stored before check-in and after check-out (we didn't have large luggage like suitcases, so they accommodated us, but it may be difficult depending on the situation, so it's best to confirm in advance!). The reception staff and cleaning staff were both friendly and attentive, making our stay pleasant. It's not the newest hotel, but it is well-maintained and doesn't feel old. The lobby's ambiance was lovely as well. There seems to be quite a number of foreign guests. I would love to use this hotel again when I visit Kyoto.

    The location is great, the rooms are clean, the staff is courteous, the food is delicious, and the service of being able to store our luggage until the next day after checkout is really appreciated! I’ve decided that this will be my go-to place whenever I stay in Kyoto from now on!

    “Exceptional”

    As you ascend the entrance, you are first struck by the enormous lampshade. Just visiting this lobby allows you to feel the weight of the hotel’s history. The rooms are also designed in a classical style, making you feel as if your class has elevated by one level. The breakfast buffet, besides the variety and quality of the dishes, offers a pleasantly enjoyable time thanks to the attentive staff. Was it the off-season? I was able to stay for a very reasonable price. It’s the best!
