This was a great hotel located right in the center of the action in Kyoto. There were several english-speaking staff members at the front desk and concierge, making it very easy to check-in and get recommendations. The rooms were very modern japanese, with fabulous soaking tubs and rain showers. The only negative was the Japanese restaurant- definitely left something to be desired. The Italian restaurant was excellent, however. And the morning buffet was adequate.

Hyatt Regency Kyoto 2009.07.22
Recommended Trip type: All Others "Veldig fornøyd"

Reviewed by S of Norway on Jul 22, 2009

Jeg og kjæresten min bodde fire netter på Hyatt Regency Kyoto under en tre uker lang ferie i Japan. Av alle hotell vi bodde på i Japan var Hyatt Regency Kyoto det hotellet vi var mest fornøyd med. Personalet var meget sørvisinnstilt, hjelpsomme og høflige, men ikke så høflig at det ble påfallende og flaut. Personalet behersket videre engelsk veldig bra og de var behjelpelige med tips til hvor vi kunne spise, hva som var verdt å se i byen og hvordan vi kunne komme oss dit vha tog/buss/å gå. Rommet var stort til Japan å være, rent, og hadde alt av artikler vi trengte. Bittellite minus for at vi måtte betale ekstra for internett på rommet. Vi prøvde ut ett av hotellets tre restauranter, den italienske (trengte litt avveksling fra rå fisk), og maten der var veldig god. Hyatt Regency ligger ca 25 minutters gange fra Kyoto sentralstasjon – omtrent rett østover fra stasjonen. Etter å ha krysset elva som går nord-sør er det fem minutter igjen å gå. (Buss 100, 205 og 206 går rett forbi hotellet). Kyoto sentrum ligger ca 25 minutters gange nordvest fra hotellet. Litt nordøst for hotellet ligger mange av Kyotos vakre templer, hager og helligdommer. Kiyomizudera og Heian Jingu anbefales. Med tog eller buss kan du også besøke Golden Pavillion og Bamboo forest nordvest i byen, eller gå under 10 000 hellige røde porter i Inari sør for byen. Det er varmt i Japan om sommeren. Heldigvis finnes vending-machines overalt. Til og med mellom Inaris hellige porter.
