Mercure Kyoto Station

Beautiful room and very comfortable bef

The staff were excellent, very knowledgeable, and spoke great English when our Japanese was lacking. They had all the amenities we needed from umbrellas to a scale for checking bag weight. Check in and check out was a breeze. The room we had was on the top floor so it had a good view and had good quality Nespresso pods so I didn't feel like we needed to get coffee from anywhere else. The room was also quite modern looking and well decorated but that is not always a good thing. The many fixtures and details in the room meant there were lots of corners and little hard to reach spots that weren't super clean. The cleaning staff did an excellent job when they came in so I think this is a design problem more than anything. I would also caution guests from eating at the breakfast. There are so many yummy places near the hotel that cost a fraction of the $30+ dollars they charge per person. Overall a great stay and I will stay there again next time I am in Kyoto.

Hotel was breakfast was very good. However, I wish they had bath towels to bathe with. Everything else was fine.

I had three weeks in Japan and my four nights here were the best stays of the trip. It’s nothing more than a five minute stroll from Kyoto station which makes moving around the city easy, and is walking distance from a plethora of places to eat and drink, as well multiple city attractions. The reception staff are kind and exceptionally polite, the room was beautiful and spacious with a beautiful view across the city; it smelt good and it was maintained daily to a fantastic standard amongst our bags and clutter. Sometimes it’s easy to try and avoid chain hotels but this one felt different, it felt full of love and appreciation for guests. Don’t hesitate to stay here, you won’t regret it.
