Hotel Monterey Group, Karasuma hotels

"Newly built. Tuck away in a small alley of a very central location. Staff are v helpful. "

"Very nice hotel, good breakfast choices, nice rooms, good bar, nice to have the restaurant in the hotel with great food, great location close to tourist area, but off to the side in a quiet location. Highly recommended"

"The hotel is located conveniently inside a shopping district. Staff was very helpful when checking in and when I need to shop my luggage. I would stay here again if I ever come back to Kyoto. "

"Excellent experience. Room was unexpectedly spacious and clean. Services were very top notch and the bath facility was very nice and clean. I have enjoyed my stay. The only thing is the bathroom Can be renovated a little Seeing mildew and darkened silicon on the bathtub was a bit off putting. "

"Great staff and facility...good location!"

"A much bigger welcoming room when compared to typical Japanese hotel rooms. Well worth the nominal price increase over 3 star hotels. Very happy with Hotel Monterey."

"I greatly appreciated the little amenities and efforts by the concierges. I brought shoes that soon proved worn out, but the complimentary house slippers made excellent temporary insoles. Developed quite a few blisters of course, but they always had a bandage or three when I asked. And they had me covered for money changing as well, taking such a headache off my plate when I found all the public transit needed exact change. All in all it was the staff that saved my trip with such little touches."

"Perfect location really. Train is down the street, market across the street. We even stumbled upon a cool club literally next door! Can’t get any better imo."

"The staff were wonderful. A beautiful oasis in Kyoto close enough to many of the hot spots!"
