This hotel ticks all the boxes! Great rooms, good food & a staff that goes beyond the expected in trying to help & please you. All in all we were more than happy with our choice of hotel & highly recommend it! Try to get a room in the back wing - longer to walk - but much bigger rooms... More

The Hyatt Regency is a really excellent hotel for anyone based in Kyoto. We'd been a little wary because we'd read reviews that it was not in a great location but taxis were always waiting outside the hotel and local trips are not expensive. Even if you dont want to take a taxi the bus network is very close by.... More

This beautiful hotel has really impressed me in many ways : the atmosphere, the food ,the design & the nice garden. But all in all, the service is the best thing they can be proud of. From the concierge, the receptionists, the house keeping etc. They are really professional. Highly recommend to everyone for the great experience in Kyoto. More

Being somewhat wary of the food and new to Japan my husband and I took a friend's recommendation to stay at this Kyoto hotel. It is a smoothly run, gracious modern hotel with wonderful Western food. Both the Grill and the Italian restaurant is excellent and the buffet breakfast was the best we had in Japan. Both the local and... More

Internet situation could and should be better as free in lobby BUT very pricey in room so plan on the lobby although my room poicked up lobby server. gym is quite good. concierges were fantastic a real plus and much appreciation to them More

It is after all, only a "Regency" grade hotel. The location is a bit way out but overall ambiance is good. Interior design is worthy the praises but other than that it is just another Hyatt Regency hotel. Having said that, if you are looking for a good western style hotel in Kyoto then Hyatt is definitely the no. 1... More

This is a difficult property to review. Property is well maintained and has an element of "swish" to it. Nonetheless, it isn't a convenient location for walking unless, one considers the incredibly long hike to some of the more remote guest rooms. We booked a corner double, which was nicely laid out and well appointed (but reeked of cigarette smoke... More

Out of 9 hotels we stayed in Japan, this one was the one we were looking to the most and the one we liked least. Only a week before we stayed at the Hyatt in Hakone and was much better. The service offerings are all over the place. Everything was ok but it had few amenities and all came at... More

This hotel is stunning- set away from the hubub, and in the midst of a beautifully landscaped property. The rooms are not large- but they are not cramped like most Japanese hotels- and are pleasantly decorated in a kimono theme...simple and tasteful. I enjoy the lace-like wooden latice-work in the lobby. The breakfast room is superb- with a lovely garden... More
