Hotel Nikko Princess Kyoto

I visited for the first time in over 30 years. From my Room with a great view of Higashiyama, I truly felt like I was in Kyoto and could gaze at it all day. I stayed for two nights, and on the second night the bed-making, cleaning, and replenishment of amenities were all excellent. I’ve stayed at many Hotels, and lately there have been times when I thought “Really?”, but this Hotel was perfect. I had a very comfortable stay. Thank you to all the staff. The location was convenient for getting anywhere, so I was able to fully enjoy sightseeing in Kyoto. I would love to stay again.

I truly feel glad that I chose this Hotel on my first visit to Kyoto in decades. Built during a more prosperous era in Japan, it is a dignified Hotel with meticulous attention to detail—far removed from today’s cost-first trend—and filled with warm consideration and genuine hospitality. The Room was more than spacious enough, and I was able to rest well in the bed. What especially impressed me was the volume of hot water and its quality. The large bathtub filled up in no time, and although the shower had plenty of water pressure, it felt wonderfully soft on the skin—so soothing and relaxing. I also appreciated the morning newspaper service. For breakfast, I chose the Western buffet both days, and there were several dishes different from the previous day, all of which I enjoyed.With so many luxury international Hotels around, this feels like a true Japanese-style Hotel that preserves what is best about Japan.I would definitely like to stay again. Thank you very much for your hospitality.
