Kyoto Garden Palace
What Guests Say
Big hotel with spacious rooms. Excellent location, very close to Marutamachi Station, you can get from there to Kyoto station very quick, which pretty much takes you anywhere. The hotel serves japanese and american breakfast for an additional cost (discounts for guests tho!), which are great value.

Only had breakfast once - and although maybe a buffet would have been appreciated, the one that was served was very good. We enjoyed the garden view. My room was small but adequate - whereas my friend had a Deluxe Single which was much more spacious. The location was excellent as we were attending the Jidai Matsuri, and starting from the Imperial Palace, the action was right on our doorstep. We were not able to get tickets in advance but someone passed on two tickets for the benches, so we were in luck!

The location was great and the staff very welcoming and helpful. They used a pocket Translator to solve any language problems! Rooms were quiet, bright, and spotlessly clean. We enjoyed the breakfast with the view of the garden. Booking.com made the whole booking system - and the various room and date changes I made - simple and efficient.

Outstanding staff, especially at the Front Desk who go out of their way to assist in whatever question or need you may have. Location on the west side of the Imperial Palace Gardens is ideal. Excellent value Japanese breakfast with an option for western style. Hotel restaurant overlooks a beautiful Japanese garden. Second floor meeting rooms are welcoming with an expansive and comfortable lobby area with large windows with beautiful views of the Imperial Gardens.

The staff was friendly, efficient, welcoming--just about perfect. I do not believe there is a better location in Kyoto. The neighborhood is quiet. There is a beautiful garden across the street. The metro is a short walk from the hotel. Many attractions are easy to get to from the hotel. The rooms are small but beautifully designed. I especially liked the bathroom which is small but has everything you could want.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Clean, spacious room with beautiful views of Imperial Palace Park just across the road (also free entry and guided tours of gardens, including English-speaking).

My room had a view overlooking the Imperial Gardens. The location suited me as it was quiet and I enjoyed walking through the Imperial Gardens to get to other places of interest and enjoyed exploring the local area.

Great breakfast! There was a choice between Japanese and Western style sets, I chose the Japanese style and it was amazing. Also many different drink options available, with ice coffee being a huge bonus. Plus, the dining area has a beautiful view of a lush garden with a koi pond. The room was fantastic, very clean and comfortable, with powerful AC which was wonderful in the humidity of Kyoto. A comfy yukata was provided, along with multiple amenities such as a toothbrush, razor etc. The staff were super friendly! I only stayed one night so I didn't have a lot of interaction with them, but nonetheless everyone was so nice. The location was perfect for my needs. The hotel is easily accessible via the subway and city buses, although I took a taxi from Kyoto Station, which took about 10 minutes. All in all a great experience! For such an affordable price Kyoto Garden Palace really exceeded my expectations.

The room was a good size for a Japanese double room, and the staff were friendly and helpful (they spoke good English)
