Last week we had a great stay in the Glanz Kei, the room was big, clean and confortable for everything, the location is very good, it is convenient for us as there is a very big shopping mall called aeon mall just right beside. So it is super easy for my mom and kids to find things they need which created a lot of flexibility for us. I must especially mention a person from hotel, Jacob, he is receiption of the hotel, he gave me a great help as one night I lost my mom on the street. She supposed to go back to hotel from kyoto station, but the direction I have indicated was reverse, and her mobile phone was out of buttery, so she didint reach to the hotel. I checked of her over 4h in different areas of kyoto. Big thanks to Jacob, bcz of his great help, I found my mom at the police station nearby kyoto station. Thanks to his great help, he even accompanied me to look for my mom after he finished his work. I really appreciated him a lot, bcz of him, the moment I felt hopeless he gave me great support. I had an unforgettable trip in kyoto.. if you ask me to have a place to stay in Kyoto with many person of family I would highly recommend this hotel.

Convenient location near Kyoto Station, Bus to Kiyomizu-dera is right round the corner (make sure you catch time departure time). Well equipped rooms, wasn't lacking in any way. Close to a shopping mall with Don Quijote to get stuff. We had 7 people in 2 connecting rooms, could take another 3 if we used all the beds and 2 sofa beds. Make sure you exit on the correct side of Kyoto Station, else could be a long walk when the shops close and you are unable to cut across the malls in kyoto station to get to the other side.

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.

The best hotel I stayed in while in Japan. The room was large and the bed was comfortable. The detailed design and finishes of the room were outstanding. The bathroom colour for instance was an unexpected yet VERY classy. The staff was friendly and super helpful in helping me get around. I loved the reception area. Also well appointed with a beautiful stream view. The apéritivo till 10 PM was an excellent touch (sake collection, snacks, tea and coffee).
