Understated but luxury feel. Our room was probably a little small for the price but the staff were excellent. The pool is worth it for the money alone.

The ritz Carlton Kyoto is incredible. It is by far the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The service was impeccable. The raspberry croissants and macaroons were better than the ones we had in Paris. It is well located and the concierge is the absolute best. We cannot say enough great things about this hotel and it’s staff. We were truly sad when we had to leave.

We stayed for six nights and the staff were all friendly and helpful. The location was great and the room was peaceful and relaxing. There were many breakfast options , which was great since we stayed many nights. The interior decor was gorgeous and there was a great art collection. We especially appreciated the outstanding concierge staff that helped booked all our dinner reservations months in advance. This is a very special place!

Yes, the hotel is not cheap, but you get here what you pay for. This is a nice memory worth much more what paid for. The staff is beyond excellent, the hotel facilities beautiful, very clean, modern, classy. The breakfast experience is awesome.
Location is pretty good, there is a convinience store one block away. Taxi to many usual places is 1k yen to 3k yen. Japan it's not inexpensive. The staff is truly concerned about you having a great time and to truly serve you. Very nice people.

Hotel was centrally located within walking distance to charming streets lined with cafes and restaurants, shopping districts and the more traditional Gion area. Yet situated in a quiet enclave just adjacent to the river . Room was spacious and very comfortable which was important as pokey rooms never make for a comfortable stay. This was especially important as it was winter and impossible to spend most of the day outside.We were there for a week and the staff were all incredibly warm and had a very personal touch sharing a little of their lives and ours for the time we were there.

Incredible hotel experience. The hotel was impeccable and provided unique exposure and access like The Kimono Experience, access to select restaurants, and tour guides, and a great spa.

I give 5 stars to all ratings parameters. It can be a SIX star hotel. One of the best Ritz Carlton in the world. Luxury modern amenities with preserved japanese culture , that permeates into hotel service, hotel decor and ambience. It transports you to an luxury escape from the daily routine! It wakes up all 5 senses! The hotel MIZUKA restaurant transcends the japanese food to a new level and experience, worthy of Michelin star recognition!
