Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, room service and a 24-hour front desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation provides an ATM, a concierge service and currency exchange for guests. Its a vibe in Kyoto and maybe more modern then the rest but we loved coming back in the evening after long days sightseeing! they have few really nice restaurants and roof top bar! Also a fantastic bar located in the building were the shops are: dig the line: bottle and bar! I am pretty sure we got both our rooms upgraded and we had interconnecting rooms that at least I found rare find in Japan but very nice with kids! Lobby staff were so helpful and attentive! only thing I can fault is the staff at the restaurant seemed sometimes a little lost with organizing so dishes and glasses kind of built up around us on empty tables and that we found is very rare in Japan but I think thats managment in restaurants and not hotel! so overall! great hotel! good comfortable rooms and a total vibe! We found really nice caffès and shops around the hotel❤️

The Thousand Kyoto features air-conditioned rooms with satellite flat-screen TV in the Shimogyo Ward district of Kyoto. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a 24-hour front desk and room service, along with free WiFi. Private parking is available on site. Situated very close and directly connected to Kyoto Station via a covered walkaway, the hotel ensures unbeatable convenience for exploring Kyoto and nearest cities- Shinkansen, subway, busses, the station complex with shops, restaurants, diners, are just a step away. However, regardless of this location, the rooms are extremely quiet and very comfortable, very clean and spacious. There is a small Zen garden in the terrace, which was a lovely detail to add in to the comfort of the room. The staff is very polite and helpful and we had seamless check-in and check-out. The breakfast is buffet and it is worth paying for-very diverse, providing both Japanese delicacies and top-tier Western options. The hotel is a combination of luxury and very convenient urban location.
