We were first given a non-renovated room which unpleasantly smelled of smoke although we had reserved a non-smoking room. The hotel upgraded us to a renovated room that was smoke-free with a view of Nijo castle. The newer room had modern ambience with a japanese tea corner and bench in front of the window to sit and view Nijo castle. The first room was rather dated, however. We had lunch in 2 of the hotel restaurants, Tempura and Kaiseki style, both excellent. Breakfast buffet was also diverse with japanese and western options. Subway (Tozai line) 2 min from hotel. Overall a pleasant stay.
Charge premium rate for old hotel on a isolated area with no restaurants around. Need transportation to get to everywhere. Our non smoking room smelled like an ashtray and staff wouldn’t really rectify the problem and instead wanted us to move a lower room. The breakfast Is very basic and again not on par for a $350 - $400 USD per night rate. Stay way !!!!!!
Everything was great in this hotel!!! You should consider to book in it when you visit Kyoto.
expensive but small room, poor service and restorants.
My objective for hotels in Japan are limited to good access to transportation and a little extra space - The Crowne Plaza was perfect. Located across from Nijo Castle and adjacent to the subway stop of the same name, I found it easy. The hotel caters to tour groups - in this case American - means it needs to accommodating to those travelers. A plus for me. I also prefer locations a bit removed from the tourist areas - but in Kyoto the whole city is a tourist area! For some the location may be less than ideal because you will likely take a taxi to a restaurant or eat on the way back in the evening. There is a simple bakery for breakfast nearby.
Great hotel food and staff, very clean. Enjoyed it very much. Good location and facilities.
