Hotel Monterey Kyoto מלון

we had stayed in Monterey Ginza on the previous nights and were so impressed with our choice. Monterey Kyoto is a fabulous choice and more luxurious than the one in Ginza even though they have the same star rating. Happy hour in the Library each day was a pleasant experience and the breakfast room was busy but, in true Japanese fashion, extremely orderly. we are definitely going to return to this hotel on our next trip based on previous experience.

It is fair a few minutes walk from the subway station (3 stops from Kyoto Station), so super convenient. It includes a mini mart convenience store over the street also a Starbucks. Front desk staff including concierge were fair extraordinary. Exceptionally accommodating on everything from dinner proposals and reservations. The Starbucks over the street has an extraordinary view out of the back. In case we return to Kyoto we would remain here. Good value for money and location with very friendly staff.

In the peak season of Japan's maple harvest, this hotel is above all levels, quiet and elegant, but one thing to consider is that if you don't take the subway to and from the sightseeing spot, you must walk at least five to seven minutes. Take a bus to the Karasuma port or go a long way every day. Go to the sightseeing area along the path of the flower road in Heyuan, Shijo District. There are few buses outside the hotel. The advantage is that if you go to Lushan, you can take a seven-minute trip to Sanjo Station. Lushan, in addition, the hotel is located in a relatively high-end business district, the outside environment is very simple, clean and quiet, there are many coffee shops and convenience stores around, not afraid of hungry, 3 minutes to the subway station to Kyoto, will recommend to more leisure tourists If it is a daily trip, it is recommended to live near Kyoto Railway Station.

Our family of six well traveled adults stayed here in 3 rooms. I agree with previous comments that the reception staff and concierge were terribly unfriendly and unhelpful. The evening reception staff was so frustrated at my English and lack of Japanese communication and showed open hostility and overt irritation. The rooms were very small but clean. Location is great. Library (bar) is cozy but not very good service either (crying baby in bar one night not their fault but weird) Good breakfast buffet included with our room.
