Mercure Kyoto Station

Reasonably good location about 10 minutes walk from station. Great variety of food for breakfast but mostly Japanese. There was limited fruit, very sweet granola, very small pieces of bread to toast as well as pastries. Coffee was out of a machine but ground its own beans so it was reasonably decent. Bed was fairly comfortable with a topper but mattress underneath was very firm. When we got there at 1.30 pm they said our room was ready so we could get our room key and we had a much needed afternoon rest. We had lunch one day at their Italian themed restaurant which was good. Room was cleaned every day.

Our stay at this hotel exceeded all expectations, especially considering the price. The rooms were far more spacious than anticipated, beautifully decorated with a touch of color and personality—offering a refreshing contrast to the standard modern, neutral-toned designs found in many hotels. The hotel also provided a comfortable seating area for guests waiting to check in, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. The staff were exceptional—friendly, accommodating, and fluent in English. They went above and beyond to assist us, even bringing ice to our room late at night, free of charge, which we truly appreciated. The bathrooms were sleek, modern, and spotlessly clean, contributing to an overall sense of comfort and luxury. The air conditioning worked perfectly, ensuring a comfortable temperature throughout our stay, and the adjustable lighting options allowed us to create the perfect ambiance. The in-room TV functioned seamlessly, and we were pleasantly surprised to be able to connect to our Netflix account with ease. Housekeeping was also excellent, providing fresh towels daily. Given the affordability, we expected much less but instead received a stay that far surpassed our expectations. This hotel is a genuine hidden gem, offering outstanding value without compromising on quality or service. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional stay at a reasonable price.

The room was very roomy & comfortable. Great hotel location very easy to get around Kyoto with brilliant hairdressers Heavenly very near by. Easy walk from Kyoto Station & loads of buses & restaurants really close by too.

We loved our 3 nights here! The hotel itself is stunning, loved the decor. Room was very spacious and elegant with a huge comfortable bed. Tv was in prime position and we could use Netflix. Bathroom was small but very clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was great, lots of options for me as a vegan which I appreciate. About a 10ish minute walk to Kyoto Station so not too bad.

The Mercure Kyoto Station is a well appointed,well maintained, good quality international hotel. The reception staff are very professional and welcoming and have excellent English language skills.The room was well appointed nicely decorated and comfortable. The public areas including the restaurant, airy and pleasant. Although the breakfast was the same everyday, there was a good and varied selection. The location was great, walking distance to most of Kyotos' sights and close to the rail station, subway and main bus station.
