Beautiful hotel with a lovely Onsen. Beautiful, spacious, well-appointed room. Great location. It was my wife’s birthday and at the end of an excellent teppanyaki dinner the chef sent out a gorgeous dessert plate.

If there is 6 star category to rate hotels, this hotel deserves it. The customer service just exceeds anyone’s expectation. No need for you to wait in line to ask questions to the receptionist. There are many hotel staff working at lobby to ask your needs. The room is very spacious with oversized veranda. The Spa and hot springs are must. The cafe Mayfair offers great service and selection of delicacies.

This is definitely a higher end hotel, but it is still "affordable". The location is excellent and quiet. It is not in the middle of shopping and dining, but many shrines and temples are within walking distance. A subway station is only 2 minutes from the hotel, so you can go anywhere. There is also a hotel shuttle to drop you off at a couple of locations, but pick up is only from Kyoto station - about every 30 minutes. The breakfast option is outstanding and you should try it. The onsen is very very nice. We paid for the "view" but we ended up using very little of the "view" because we were out all day in the city already, and there were "views" everywhere already. But a room with a view does have a small balcony so if you like that, it is worth it. I will stay there again for sure.

The Westin Miyako hotel was beautiful! The room was huge. The nature walking trail that it has is amazing. We took the benefit of usung their shuttle bus to and from kyoto station. The staff was very kind and respectful. Every time we walked in or out of the the hotel the staff wpuld greet us by bowing and i was amazed by their beautiful art inside the hotel.

We love this hotel so much thay we already started planning for our next stay here. The onsen/ spa was nicely planned and well equipped while the staff were super attentive and helpful. I love all the details that were very thoughtful to the guests e.g. flashlight by the bedside, newspaper for your morning hung at the door, separate lift access for spa and gym. Location was a bit off central but they are located literally next to the Tozai line and the popular Yamamoto Menzou udon place.

They are renovating this wonderful gem to celebrate its 130th anniversary in 2020 to coincide with the Olympics. I was lucky to stay in a room newly renovated and it was wonderfully beautiful right down to the state of the art Toto bathroom fixtures.

A 4 star hotel masquerading as a 5 star, with 5 star prices. Staff very nice, room and hallways smelled like toxic chemicals the whole visit (maybe they had just renovated?). The decor and lobby is outdated, they tried to CHARGE me for using the pool lol. It would be nice to get some money back, compared to the 5 star we stayed at in Tokyo and Osaka at the same price, a let down.

The hotel is undergoing renovation, so some rooms are dated/poorly laid out. Expect this to not be the case in the future. The mattress is rather firmThe hotel does have a plentiful buffet breakfast, and a complimentary shuttle bus to/from Kyoto station. The location is perfect for quiet evenings and exploring Higashiyama. Definitely stay here again

It was definitely a beautiful location located on a hill. Concierge was very helpful and offered great options. Didn’t expect to have to pay to use the swimming pool. That’s my only complaint.

Though the Westin Miyako attempts to be accommodating, unfortunately, it does not meet American hotel standards. Firstly, for a business hotel, the wifi does not work well in the rooms. Luckily, I had purchased my own mobile wifi. Secondly, our shower-heads did not work, which is really disappointing for a hotel of this stature. The staff was kind enough to try and fix it but to no avail. However, and this is important to note, that my friend who stayed on the floor above us had the exact same issue so it is a hotel wide issue. Thirdly, the concierge, while kind, gave us incorrect information about restaurant hours (most places close between 3-6 on Wednesdays in Kyoto) and thus, we walked around for a couple hours looking for a place to eat. Starbucks is the only thing we found open. Not the traditional kyoto meal we had in mind. Finally, the coffee bar does not open until 8:30am, so if you dont want a full breakfast, you really have no other alternative. Again, respectful staff and great shuttle service but I will not be staying with Westin again.

Location was not ideal. Shuttle was not there when one really needs it. Breakfast was average. Not Westin Class
1.0 / 5.0
Excellent and friendly staff. In particular, Kaori from the concierge desk was amazing and thoughtful. Good location but not ideal as it is a short taxi ride away from most popular areas. Being next to a subway station is a big advantage Hotel itself is old and in need of refurbishment. We stayed in a family room but it did not have temperature control. Gym is mediocre but swimming pool is excellent.
