Cross Hotel Kyoto

everything was amazing! my husband is an architect and after travelling for almost a month in Japan we stayed in a lot of hotels. He was always commenting on what the hotels could have done better. But as soon as we checked into the cross we could both tell thus one was different. The superior room was quite big, amazing finishes both in the room and the rest of the hotel. lit is one groovy hotel in a fantastic position with fantastic art on the walls, layback music in the restaurant. All of the staff where amazing. the concierge staff were outstanding! from helping us to get tickets before we got there to a temple that had a particularly onerous reservation system, helping my husband get an urgent on the spot dental appointment to helping us send our luggage onto Tokyo via the courier system! the cross hotel is a class act anyway you look at it. special thanks to Haruna and the rest of the concierge staff - you guys are amazing!!! if we come back to Kyoto, I won’t be agonising on where to stay. I’m going straight back to the cross hotel! oh I forgot to mention that the breakfast was awesome!

I will definitely return to this hotel if i were to come back to Kyoto. Cannot beat the location. Food - aplenty. If you book this place, I don't think you will be disappointed because it's just so perfect in terms of location. One thing that I enjoy here - It's like on a busy street, but it's the next street. It's a very romantic corner of this place, about 6 - 20 minutes walk to key places like Subway Stations, Gion, Nishiki, loooooooaaaddddds of eatery, even the one opposite was so yummy. Church nearby too for the Catholics - Daifukus, Massage places, shopping malls, KFC, gosh the list goes on. 15 minutes cab ride from Kyoto Train Station (~ Yen 2K).

What a great location, walking distance to the Gion district, many great restaurants and the pagoda. Also, easy walk to the Nishiki market, which was amazing. Went back there several times for food and souvenirs. The personalized engraved chopsticks were a huge hit with our friends back home. The lobby was beautiful with a fabulous floral arrangement. The rooms were clean and fairly roomy for Japan standards. The beds were the most comfortable of our 4 hotels in Japan. We appreciated the coffee maker in the lobby and had many great cups of green tea too. I like how they have the amenities by the elevator so you can take what you need. I would definitely stay here again.

They Cross Hotel Kyoto is centrally located. Literally a 5 mins walk to a huge shopping precinct and 10 mins walk to the famous Nishiki markets. Lots of restaurants and cove shops around, and a 5 mins walk to the nearest station (although we used buses mostly). I also like that it is slightly off the hectic main street- the smaller side street entrance made you feel you’ve arrived at a relaxing place. What’s so good about the hotel is it’s cleanliness. And the rooms are a lot bigger than I anticipated. The staff were genuinely helpful and as a pre-arrival, they were offer us connecting rooms as they found out we were travelling as a family with kids.

We had a great stay. The room was comfortable and very spacious for japan! The location was great, near to the highstreet and near the river. The extra amenities were nice- we were given bath salts which were in with tradition for the end of the soltice. The bed was comfy and the shower was good pressure.
