Great service and good-sized room with complementary breakfast which was delicious. Location close enough to subway stations & main shopping strips and bus stops and metro.

    We had a lovely time here and would have stayed for longer. the hotel was stylish, the location was perfect to get around Kyoto from the nearby subway stop, and complimentary breakfast was a nice perk. the room was brand-new with a fresh interior. In general, the service was great. the facilities were modern and easy to use.

    The privacy at Minato was impressive. We arrived late in the evening, but the hotel staff waited for us and checked us in promptly. Throughout our stay, we hardly saw anyone else, which we really loved. The hotel's location was also convenient, within walking distance to local restaurants and popular attractions like Gion and Kyoto Station. I highly recommend this hotel for a peaceful and convenient stay in Kyoto.

    This hotel truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked into the lobby, I felt welcomed by the staff. The cleanliness of the hotel facilities was impressive. The hotel is conveniently located close to everything I wanted to see in this city, whether I needed to access the metro or historical monuments. Transportation was easily accessible, and getting around was a breeze. The staff was always willing to provide recommendations for nearby cafes, and I found myself venturing out to another cafe for breakfast, much to my delight. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff went out of their way to ensure that I had everything I needed.

    Nothing all good.

The location in a good area made it convenient for exploring the city and there were plenty of nice restaurants and cafés within walking distance. The complementary breakfast, including the delicious natural smoothie, was a delightful start to each day.

    Located conveniently near major bus routes for sightseeing and just a short walk to central shops and cafes. the room is clean and well-equipped with all the basic amenities, such as towels and toiletries. the staff is friendly and helpful, always ready to answer questions. Breakfast was sumptuous and filling, with both English and Japanese options.

    It may not be suitable for those looking for a big hotel with plenty of staff.
