Reviews of The Gate Hotel Kyoto Takasegawa by Hulic 5 stars

Beautiful bar area which we used often. Room well appointed and a good size. Japanese breakfast option a nice touch. No issues lending plugs, irons and ironing boards.

Would score hire if had room service. Whilst this is located close to the metro station there is still a short walk and ride to get to central Kyoto so we used taxis

Great location. The shipping district was behind the hotel. Great daytime view from reception on the 8th floor.

Found the beds quite soft

Beyond expectations at all levels

Location great. Breakfast excellent.

Not much suitable for party of three (i.e. a family of two parents and three children). An extra bed is not allowed in any of the rooms but the luxury suite. Staff polite but rigid. I was not offered any upgrade (though ordered 6 rooms), but rather an extra charge for a room with a little more space but still not big enough for extra bed, (calculated of-course according to the full-rate room difference). Essential rooms are de-facto tiny, quite an accomplishment with 26 SQM, due to poor layout of the toilets. when connecting rooms the open doors block mobility in room and the air condition panel… Cleanliness of rooms almost satisfactory, as we found used socks sticking up from under the bed. When I notified a "Senior Staff", he briefly apologized and said he will take care of this with housekeeping. However, I believe he did not, as the used socks were carefully delivered and put in our new room the next day… Rigid still, we were denied entry to the lounge. After a 4 day stay, we had our train scheduled two hours after checkout and wished to refresh there at 12:45 and were strictly denied. Policy is that guests who checked out cannot use hotel facilities throughout the day…

Everything here is perfect, the location, the rooms are big, it’s clean, the staff and service are really good :) i went here in March aswell and went back in July. Would go again

Clean, value for money

We liked the location and night life and restaurants along the river side. The breakfast was amazing and the rooms were comfortable.

The supply of water bottles was given on request. Rest was great 😆

Great location! Super clean!! And the only comfortable bed in our 4 places in Japan. Highly recommend

Bed, location and super clean

Room was large and clean, with separate lounge and bedroom. Toiletries included were good. Breakfast was good. Location was good.

Bed was too big for the room with very little space around the bed. Mattress was too firm for me, bin was tiny.

Best hotel experience during our Japan trip. All was great, in a historic building (previously a school), fantastic location with bars and restaurants nearby, nice view from the room (the biggest during our Japan trip as well). So enjoyed the bar at the top floor offering outside sitting

Didn’t try the breakfast or restaurants which seemed quite expensive

Probably the best location Kyoto can offer. We searched quite a bit and realised Pontocho was the best place to stay. And Gate just stamped our findings and lived up to all the expectations. A great building with some history. I learnt this was a school converted into a hotel :) A lot of space in and around as part of the property development. Central most to all great places to eat drink and hangout after a tiring day. Right in the heart of Kyoto's shopping prominent shopping district. Lovely breakfasts to kick off your day :)

Not much to point out. Except for the fact that it you book late, you might be sucked out of the value for money oart. Some people may feel a bit out of place in a commercially active neighborhood. But that's a personal choice end of the day.

It was such a nice, comfortable experience. The location is really good, the food is very good, the room was very comfortable, the terrace views are beautiful and the staff very kind!

nothing comes to my mind

Beautiful hotel in the Gion district close to everything!

Nothing

Very stylish hotel with good amenities and a central location. Comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Perfect location at the center of Kyoto, close to everything. Spacious single room with a full work desk is very useful, the room is also very comfortable.

Excellent location close to everything

Dull and plain room interior and very limited breakfast

This hotel truly excels in customer service. From check-in to check-out, the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome immediately. The location is perfect for exploring, and our room was spotlessly clean. The real test of a hotel's service is how they handle problems, and they passed with flying colors. After I left, I realized I had forgotten some important items. I contacted the hotel, and they had already found them. They immediately arranged to post everything back to me without any hassle. Their efficiency and proactive approach saved me a lot of stress. Thank you so much to the entire team! I will definitely be staying here again.

This hotel was absolutely stunning. We had a wonderful view of the mountains directly from our room and the view from the hotel lobby is just wonderful. The hotel provide pyjamas which were so comfy. We loved them that much we bought a pair each to take home. The room was wonderful with a coffee machine and very spacious. The hotel provide free drinks and snacks in the evening and have an open fire that you can toast your own marshmallows on. It was a lovely touch. The breakfast was delicious. We tried the Japanese breakfast and there meat and fish was so generous on that. It was such a good value for money. Lots of western options and fresh orange juice being squeezed each morning by a lovely lady with a smile. The gym was well equipped and was a nice way to start our day. This hotel far surpasses that of a hyatt. The little details from Huloc are expectational. I am super impressed and just wish they had locations around the world. What a wonderful experience Kyoto was also epic. A wonderful place.

We loved the breakfast! By the time we were seated at the restaurant, the limited Japanese meal was sold out. We wished we could have tried it. Maybe you’ll be able to offer more in the future.

We were pleasantly surprised by the happy hour that was available, including roasting marshmallows. Perhaps you can also offer chocolate and graham crackers to build s’mores!!!
