DoubleTree by Hilton Kyoto Station

The DoubleTree by Hilton was a convenient choice, located right near Kyoto Station, which made getting around super easy. With older kids, it's tough to find triple rooms, so that was a factor in our decision. The facilities were pretty standard, nothing spectacular, but the soundproofing was good – it was quiet at night. We stayed for five nights, and while the breakfast was okay, there weren't many options that really suited Chinese tastes. In hindsight, booking a room without breakfast might have been more cost-effective.

The room was pretty good, with a slight lingering smell from a recent renovation. The bedding was comfortable to sleep on, and the size of the room was decent. The bathroom was also fine. If 10 is a perfect score, I'd give it an 8.5 or 9. The transportation is convenient! The front desk service was absolutely perfect! 💯

I forgot to take pictures of the room, but it looks exactly like the product photos. We had a very comfortable May Day holiday. The hotel's location is great, not far from Kyoto Station, but without the noise of being right next to the station. The decor and facilities are very new. It offers excellent value for money. The room was cleaned spotlessly every day. There's a Chinese-speaking gentleman at the front desk who provided excellent service and explained everything thoroughly. The breakfast was rich and varied, but there was a queue, so it's best to allow extra time for waiting.

The room isn't very big, and the decor is quite traditional for a star-rated hotel. It's quite close to Kyoto Station, about a five-minute walk, just three traffic lights away. However, the hotel next door is under renovation, and the construction team was banging away all morning, starting at 8 AM. The soundproofing of the windows isn't great. The overall soundproofing of the hotel isn't good. While we were getting our child ready for bed in the evening, an elderly foreign lady from the room opposite knocked on our door and said, "Your child is noisy." I was so mortified! We were constantly trying to remind our child to be quiet. We stayed at four hotels of a similar standard during this trip to Japan, and this was the only one where we experienced this.

Very close to Kyoto Station, about a 5-6 minute brisk walk, and there's a 7-Eleven right next door. This is super convenient if you arrive late in Kyoto and need to grab a quick bite. Plus, there's staff at the front desk who speak Chinese.

Japan's aesthetics are truly world-class, and the hotel's design, decor, and lighting create a wonderfully comfortable ambiance. The location is excellent, just a 6-minute walk to Kyoto Station. The room was spacious enough, the staff were friendly, and the cleanliness was exceptional!

The room was very clean, and they provided two bottles of water every day. The staff were all very polite. Breakfast offered both Japanese and Western options. The only downside was having to queue for breakfast a few times, which I'd never experienced before. The location is very convenient, close to the train station.

Great location, only a five-minute walk from the East Exit to the hotel. The room was very quiet and quite new, making for a comfortable stay. The breakfast selection was plentiful; I stayed for five days and didn't get tired of it.
