My recent stay at the Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto was filled with lovely moments, although there were a few areas needing attention. The hotel's ambiance is stunning, featuring beautiful gardens and a peaceful environment. However, the long walks to the rooms can be a bit tiring after a day of sightseeing. Overall, it was a nice experience enhanced by really good service and a few standout dining moments.

While the hotel is in a quieter area, it’s only a short walk from beautiful sites like the National Kyoto Museum. The location may not be ideal for those wanting immediate access to city life.

Overall, my stay at Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto was quite enjoyable, with some highlights and a few areas that could use improvement. The concierge was incredibly helpful in arranging experiences, especially the geisha experience, which was truly nice. However, I found the breakfast service to be a bit slow and not as polished as I expected from a hotel of this caliber. On the bright side, the cherry blossom display and serene setting truly enhanced my experience.

Location

The hotel is situated in a quiet area, which was perfect for relaxation, though it is a bit far from the main streets. It's only a 10-minute walk to some of Kyoto's most attractive temples.

Dining

While I enjoyed the Japanese breakfast, the overall dining experience was below expectations, with some menus feeling limited and the cocktail lounge not measuring up to other five-star hotels I’ve visited.

Facilities

The facilities were impressive, including spa treatments and a beautiful garden setting. However, some services like room service and food delivery did not quite match the hotel's reputation.

My recent stay at the Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto was a mixture of good moments and some disappointments. While the atmosphere was beautifully designed and service had some high points, I encountered issues with responsiveness and dining prices that left me feeling let down. Overall, it's a luxurious place that needs to refine certain aspects of its service to match its reputed standards.

My stay at Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto was truly special, thanks to the beautiful setting and attentive service. However, I was disappointed with the responsiveness of the concierge team, which didn't meet the high expectations set by previous stays at other Four Seasons locations. Overall, the blend of luxury, a stunning garden, and welcoming staff made for a nice experience, despite some service hiccups.

Rooms

The room was immaculate, well-laid out, and beautifully designed with a cozy feel. However, it lacked the garden view that I was hoping for, which was a letdown considering the premium I paid for the specific view.

My stay at the Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto was impressive, especially with the stunning Shakusui-en garden and helpful staff. However, the dining options left a bit to be desired, and I noticed some price inconsistencies. Overall, it was a nice experience that blended luxury with tranquility.

Although the hotel is a bit outside the main station, it offered a peaceful environment and was only a short walk to great temples. However, I did need a taxi to reach the hotel initially.
