Northern Kyoto, Kyoto hotel rooms at the Sotetsu

"My second time here, always friendly, attentive helpful staff. Great rooms, very clean, nice amenities and a nice breakfast. Will come again hopefully due to the kind staff and great location."

"I would pick the hotel again. Location was good. Our room was big (for Japan). They give you many goodies. Breakfast was delicious. Price was very good. It may be a new-ish hotel. The rooms certainly seem new. The hotel is a block away from the metro (3 stops from Kyoto station) on a quiet side street. There are many restaurants in the area and two 7-11s nearby (for snacks, etc). The hotel breakfast is across the street which could be inconvenient with bad weather. The food was excellent and they vary it a bit each day. We loved the French toast. WiFi worked very well. Our room had a w/d which worked very well. Cleaning / staff were excellent. They give you many goodies (tea, snacks) and there is a coffee machine in the lobby. They also have a sake machine open in the evenings. We booked a room which had a small living room area - superconvenient. There was no external / internal noise at wall. There's not much of a view since it's a small hotel on a side street. The price was excellent - likely bc it had just opened. All in all, it was a great value and everything was amazing."

"Great location near everything ,spacious clean rooms."

"Clean room, friendly staff. Great location "

"I had a wonderful stay here. The room was chic, spotless, and thoughtfully designed, with that unmistakable Japanese sense of calm and detail. The bathroom was a highlight—modern, beautifully done, and the shower had excellent water pressure (a small thing that makes a big difference!). Overall, a stylish and very Japanese-feeling space that made my trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommended."

"Spacious and clean room, very attentive staff. We had an excellent stay there."

"The Cross Hotel Kyoto came with high expectations after glowing reports from my sister as well as a good friend. I have to say that in almost every way it delivered. The design of the hotel alone is commendable. "

"Room clean Area was easy to get to the station Onsen very nice Pillow is the only thing that I don’t like But above all excellent"

"The breakfast is ¥3300/person and is quite good. The biggest plus of this hotel is its location. It's literally within walking distance to everything. The interior design is exquisite. The room is a bit on the small side but adequate. The Japanese bath is open all night until 10 am. The one small minus is that the cleaning staff often forgot to refill the coffee packets. I had to call the front desk 3 days for delivery after finding no coffee in the room. BTW, the hotel information sheet in the room doesn't explain how to call the front. I had to inquire in person to find out that it's pressing #. "
