“American hotel with Japanese service”
Feb 08, 2026VeniceBeach
Great hotel with wonderful service. Excellent restaurant
Directly across the street from the Kyoto National museum. Rooms clean, functional with Japanese aesthetic of simplicity. Loved the bathroom. Tub and shower next to each other behind shower door. Toto toilet with the wonderful warm seat. Hotel restaurant serves delicious buffet breakfast with plenty of choices. Ate salmon meal for lunch which I also enjoyed. Try obtaining a seat next to the windows that overlooks a lovely garden
“We loved our stay here”
Jan 30, 2026vagabondodelmondo
We have loved staying at the Hyatt Regency Kyoto and ended up eating most of our meals in the Cafe because the food was so good and the wait staff personable. The hotel is luxe and stylish, the beds comfortable, the rooms have ever amenity and it was very quiet. Plus it is right across the street from the Kyoto National Museum and a short walk to many temples, including the big Kiyomizu-dera. T
he hotel had sent us emails about how their might be noise during construction of a neighbor, but I don't know how any noise could get in as the hotel property is surrounded by a 2-story wall with a hill full of plants. We didn't hear any noise whatsoever. The pastry cafe is definitely worth a visit, too!
There was a free maiko dance performance and a small charge for a morning yoga class--gentle but effective. I loved the big soaking tub in my room!
“Going Downhill Fast, Dishonest and Lazy staff”
Jan 05, 2026Lawzi L
Disappointing and overpriced stay at Hyatt Regency Kyoto – far closer to a rundown 3-star than a luxury hotel.
The burger arrived with raw bacon, a clear food safety failure. Breakfast service was excruciatingly slow; drinks and the bill took forever despite repeated requests. None of the promised booking benefits – daily breakfast or the 10,000 yen dining credit – were applied, even after multiple unanswered emails to greedy, unresponsive management.
The advertised Maiko performance never occurred. The “garden view” is nothing more than distant trees visible behind a window – guests cannot enter or enjoy it. Ongoing construction noise plagued the stay. Rooms were dirty and dusty, staff consistently rude, more interested in chatting with each other than assisting guests. I was overcharged for laundry and, despite accommodating their error by moving rooms mid-stay, received zero goodwill in return.
Recent one-star reviews echo these issues. Skip this poorly managed property and choose somewhere truly worthy in Kyoto.
