Hygiene: Basic hygiene is fine for a hotel of this level.
Environment: Very Japanese atmosphere, with warm lighting throughout the rooms, very comfortable. However, the view from the rooms isn't perfect.
Facilities: The public areas are small, with a living room, a courtyard connected to a breakfast restaurant, a small bar, and a Japanese restaurant. The wellness area has everything you'd expect except for the swimming pool.
Service: Local activities are fun, and the afternoon dance performances are excellent; every night they offer a special bedtime drink, like Bulgari, but each time it's a different flavor of broth—who wants a salty broth before bed? It's puzzling. In addition, turndown service includes a small Kyoto-style gift.
Advantages: The core advantage of Capella Kyoto is its location, making it very convenient to walk to the Shijo Kawaramachi shopping district, and city center attractions and subway stations are also within walking distance. Temple view rooms offer views of Kiyomizu-dera Temple and the shimmering sunlight in the distance during the right season.
Areas for improvement: Some hotel staff have room for improvement in English, which can sometimes cause communication problems; some non-local housekeeping staff are impolite and do not greet guests proactively.
Disadvantages: As shown in the picture, even the view from the temple rooms may be directly facing a cemetery.
