What people say

The service and comfort in this hotel is exquisite. If you are going as a couple in Japan and are tired of small rooms then try the superior double room at this hotel. The beds are huge!! And they are extremely comfortable. The room is also a very decent size. It was a very clean hotel and they were very accommodating with any questions that we might have had. Check in/out with storage service at Kyoto train station is a really convenient one. The rooms are surprisingly big and cozy with superb city view. Location is excellent to access the Nanjio temple and other famous spot. Dining and caual walking in this area are superb.
all reviews » The hotel was extremely comfortable and the service was superb. Its location was a little far from tourist areas, however it is conveniently located near a subway station and the hotel shuttle helps you get to the train station. The staff helps you in giving directions. Excellent and comfortable mostly Western hotel in Kyoto. If you stay there (which I completely recommend) make sure to utilize the nearby metro stop, the pedestrian tunnel to incredible gardens and temples, and the 1/2 mile walk through old quarters to Gion. We were upgraded at no extra cost everything was luxurius We were given a suite.We bought breakfast in the hotel restaurant on our arrival £10 each but worth every penny The staff were very frienly and helpful. Very Eco friendly. Good restaurants with fantastic view. Very close to a couple of the sights I wanted to see. Would have loved to stay another night. Good shuttle and prompt shuttle bus service. Spacious public areas and rooms. Good selection of restaurants (expensive!). Very helpful concierge desk. Good location (a walk away from Gion). Shuttle bus to centre of town and train station. It has its own gardens and bird watching trail. It is close to a few temples, and a subway station. The shuttle bus is convenient to go to the city centre and kyoto railway station. - fantastic view from room, - garden just underneath of hotel - library on the floor - very convenient location - 5-10 min from main attractions. - indoor pool. We stayed in a deluxe room which was huge compared to other Japanese hotel rooms. Frequent shuttle service from/ to city center was quite helpful. A good location and convenient shuttle to the railway station. We had a superior double room which was nice and big with a comfy bed. The room was very good - very comfortable. The swimming pools were excellent. A nice feel to the whole hotel. Large and comfortable room Easy access to sites and dining on foot, Metro and Shuttle. - good value for money; - large and spacious rooms; - good concierge service;. second visit and no trouble, love the pillow top beds and the top comfort. Very comfortable room, great location, friendly English-speaking staff. Heavenly bed and heavenly shower The bird-watching trail. Politeness and friendliness of the staff. Location. location and staff, would definitely recommend it!. Location. Shuttle service. Super staff. The room size, the bed and the bathroom. Staff, location, cost, variety. Overall very good experience. location, service. free shuttle bus. Professionalism. Reasonable rate,mexcellent breakfast. The Japanese garden and bird watching trail. Comfortable enough, decent bar, nice views. Receptionist at the hotel lobby got attitude. The shuttle should operate a little later. It was not easy to find the shuttle bus at Kyoto station. In fact, I ran into one family who said they had been circling for hours trying to find it. Kyoto Station is surprisingly complex, crowded and busy. You could always take a cab instead, but the hotel should publishing instructions. They are: Take the Shin-machi (south) exit from the station, turn right when you get outside, and look for a jolly man in a loose-fitting suit holding up a cardboard sign saying "Westin-Miyake.". No complaints. A bit far from most sight seeing and restaurants. Expensive restaurants. Not much else not too like: a very nice hotel. Breakfast selections were limited. European part of breakfast buffet could be better, - satisfactory but not fantastic choice and quality of meat. I guess it was just attempt to balance between European and Japanese buffet which was quite extensive (I can't comment on quality, as didn't try it). Additional cost to use the swimming pool facilities, also the outdoor pool area was closed, despite ambient temperatures being around 30°C. Breakfast only until 10am was a bit early in the day for an internation hotel like this. Smoking in bars and restaurants - a Japan thing, but still annoying. They could have at least some no smoking areas. In house dining is very expensive. On-site restaurants were expensive. Inability to collect SPG points when using letsbookhotel.com. High meal prices. Room was a little in need of some renovation. Impersonal check-in. I booked via letsbookhotel.com because on Westin's website there were no king rooms. I am a SPG member but the reception not keen to look for my number. I suppose they were rather busy.. all in all they tried to be courteous. I got it sorted oiut when I checked out. Room size small for Westin but I understand a little older place in Japan. ontly 2 bath towels provided for a family of 4 , which they were aware of at time of booking. breakfast is expensive. Wifi was very patchy in the hotel rooms - had a lot of difficulty connecting!. Location is far from convenience. No groceries store or restaurants nearby within 5 min walk. The hotel did not register my Starwood gold status although it was stated in my booking, and we had requested for a bed for 2 o at least 2 singled parked together... Hotel's excuse is I need to also state my Starwood gold number... So much for initiative - the hotel could have dropped me an email to check my starwood gold member... There are no English language channels on the tv and nobody per view. Absurd in a hotel at these rates. When we first got here they out us in a really crappy room. Tiny, old, uncomfortable, no air conditioning. We complained and got transferred to newer building. Hotel is outdated and dirty. We changed our room three times and end up in a suite, but still it was not nice. Smoke smell in the room and hair in the bathroom. Staff can barely speak English. Mini bar contained the can which was drank. The facility can be Eton down when I opened it.
