Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent
"Cross Hotel Kyoto is a fantastic choice for anyone wanting to experience Kyoto from a central and convenient location. Situated right in the heart of the city, it is surrounded by an incredible selection of restaurants, cafés, bars and shops, with many of Kyoto’s highlights easily accessible on foot. Nishiki Market, Pontocho, Gion and the Kamo River are all within comfortable walking distance. We walked to all these areas in the August heat. For those who don't want to walk, Sanjo Keihan Station is a short 5 minute walk away from the hotel. One of the things we loved most was simply stepping outside the hotel and having so much choice. There are restaurants and traditional Japanese eateries everywhere, from casual places to more refined dining, making the hotel an excellent base for exploring Kyoto’s food scene. The hotel itself has a lovely contemporary feel, combining modern design with subtle Japanese touches. It was lovely to return to somewhere comfortable and relaxed. The rooms are clean and well designed. A special mention must go to staff at this hotel. Incredibly knowledgeable about the area and always helpful in answering queries and questions we had. For us, the location really sets Cross Hotel Kyoto apart. It gives you the best of both worlds: a lively, vibrant neighbourhood on your doorstep, while still providing a calm and comfortable place to retreat to. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a stylish, comfortable hotel in a brilliant Kyoto location."
