    You can hear a bit of traffic. The tex mex restaurant’s food is not great.

    Super well located. The building is amazing. Great breakfast. Helpful staff. Large room. We enjoyed the free bikes. Decor is full of charm and great touches. Lovely mix between us retro and Japanese.

    Very loud as we entered the hotel. Tried the coffee in the cafe once, americano just wasn't good at all, nor was the coffee during our breakfast. Maybe a bit too hippy of a place for me; vegan; bio, recyclable, etc, but coming to Japan's heritage, the oldest city I kinda wished I stayed in a place that had a connection to the history instead of a modern hotel which we got a lot of in europe - vibe close to the W hotels for people who had been.

    Record player in the room with funky new music to listen to. Guitar in the room - first time ever in my long history of travels :) Location is prime - walking distance to all of the Kyotos central places as well as a metro station 1min from the hotel. Egg benedict for breakfast was best ove had in years.

    All staff were exceptional friendly and helpful. The hotel is superbly located to access all attractions near lots of restaurants. Plus the hotel have 3 nice restaurants if you are tired at the end of the day. We were also lucky to have the use of e-bikes for the day which was fantastic. But there are not that many so if you want to use them I suggest you start your day quite early as it is first come first serve first served.

    Would love to have a mini-fridge instead of a mini-bar to store some fruit and snacks. Lobby music could go.

    The hotels has an interesting architecture and a beautiful garden. The location is great and the old twin rooms are spacious. Beds are very comfortable and rooms are clean and surprisingly quiet.

    Nothing to complain about!

    The location was great, very conveniently located with a lot of great restaurants, bakeries, and coffee shops nearby. The hotel was very clean and comfortable. Also plenty of restaurants available in the hotel itself; the coffee Roastery downstairs is a nice touch too. The hotel also has a lot of convenient amenities, such as an ATM, a currency exchange, free bicycle rental, and smart TVs which can be linked to your Netflix, Amazon etc. Definitely recommended if you want to stay somewhere where you can relax and unwind in between exploring Kyoto. Would definitely book again if I’m back in Kyoto.

    Breakfast for kids not included even if you booked the room for 3 people. They give a kids plate only but charge any other item, also at breakfast the staff were not properly coordinated mixing items or forgetting the coffee. On high season you could see they were struggling

    The vibe, location and metro station inside the building. A lot of trendy coffee shops and venues as well. Is in a quite yet super center street and the facilities are amazing. The music items on the room were a lovely detail as well

    They only give you one complimentary 1L water in your room each day but if you call up you can get another one free of charge. I think they should just put both in each time they clean.

    The Ace Hotel was really cool to stay at. It’s like a new age hotel which we like because we’re young. Cool restaurants attached to the hotel as well as bars and a really good cafe with really good coffee. Really well located could walk to lots of places and if not it’s located on top of a subway station to make getting around really easy. We came from Osaka on the train and hopped in a cab when arriving at Kyoto main station and it took about 15 mins to get to hotel. Definitely worth getting cab with luggage. We got there early in the day,they have a strict 3pm check in time but could mind the bags while we went out and explored. We asked them to assist booking a restaurant nearby which they did no problem.
