So convenient in Kyoto. Close to trains, lots of cabs, lots of colour and Nishiki markets. Though surrounded by Bars, restaurants and nightlife it never threatened or was not excessively noisy. Near the river for a ride A walk through Gion to check out more history. We had an amazing guide Hiroshi Oki, considerate and sharp operator We recommend breakfast at the Gate for its comprehensive menu and totally awesome views. David and Christine

Great property, nice rooms, close enough to walk to everything but far enough away that it's quiet. I'd stay here again.

Great location for exploring Kyoto. Hotel had comfy beds and excellent shower. The lounge where coffee and light snacks were provided needed upkeep and was frequently out of milk for the espresso machine and cups not available.

We chose The Gate Hotel Kyoto as our "headquarter" for its extremely convenient location for our Japan travel itinerary. And I cannot emphasize how convenient it is. It is about a 5 minute walk from the metro station that connects you to Arashiyama, Fushima Inari, and even Osaka. The first night we arrived and walked 10 mins to Nishiki Market, and then we discovered we were right next to downtown Kyoto. 20 min walk and you reach Ninenzaka and Kyomizudera. Everything is walking distance to this hotel. The rooms are quite spacious and have a great view of Kyoto, and everything feels like brand new. The staff is amazing. They have a traditional Japanese breakfast, but it runs fast. They start serving at 630 am, we arrived at 7am and they were sold out already. Next morning we went at 630 and there were already guests in the restaurant ordering the Japanese breakfast, so if you want the traditional, be there right at opening time or risk it getting sold out. Definitely I would recommend this hotel if this is your first time in Kyoto. Also, Kichi Kichi omurice is lke 2 minutes away on foot if you like viral tiktok trending stuff

Had an amazing stay for 2 nights at this hotel. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Location is great, next to potoncho alley and kawaramachi dori so plenty of dining options. Gion is walkable or you can take plenty of buses to kiyomizudera, ginkakuji/kinkakuji. Subway station is also close by. There is a lounge serving light snacks, free house wine and juices as well and at night there was a small bonfire outside the lounge where you can roast your marshmallows. Overall, an amazing hotel 10/10.

Hotel is a great spot and the rooms are comfortable, clean and all well maintained. The bar area you see in the pictures overlooking the river is closed by 10:00 so never got to use it! Luckily loads of places to eat outside the door

Good location and simple spacious rooms depending on what you book- we booked a corner room with a sitting area and double basins. Good value for the price and nice breakfast which gives you 2 options to order apart from the buffet of lettuce and vegetables, fruit and a table of croissants, jams, freshly squeezed orange juice etc We liked the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon . However it is the same every day - we had breakfast 3 days running. Good base from which to explore Kyoto.
