Amazing rooms for the price. The staff was super nice (a bit strict on simple things like I got a remark after taking a bottle of water to the table in the lounge but still in a very polite way). They offer you vouchers for complimentary little afternoon tea in the afternoon and amuse bouche in the evening. This was super lovely.

Overall, the Ace Hotel was an amazing place to stay. The staff was mindful and very helpful, our room was confortable and the location was central. One of our highlight was the turntable with a selection of vinyls that set the mood nicely in our room. Plus, once they noticed it was my birthday, they made sure it was celebrated.

We don’t often stay in ‘nice hotels’ so this was such a treat. The service is truly 5 stars. The hotel itself feels very luxurious through every touch. It was nice to have the swimming pool as being Summer and Aussies, we had missed being able to have a splash. Tattoos needed to be covered up, but it was open all day without reservations which was great compared to other hotels. Our view overlooked a Temple, the Kyoto Tower and some mountains. Room was spacious. Location good, close enough walk to Kyoto station. We didn’t dine onsite.

This hotel was a treat to ourselves on our long trip and it certainly lived up to expectations. I didn’t give 5 stars for comfort as we chose the futon bed for the incredible suite with the wooden soaking tub, so not the most comfy bed but that was my fault!
