This hotel is an absolute gem. The staff is amazing and went out of their way to help us in everything. The rooms are exceptionally well equipped and have great amenities and extras. The hotel is a short walk to Gion and the lovely old quarter as well as only a 10 minute taxi from the Shinkansen. If you are staying in Kyoto and want luxury combined with convenience at a great price this hotel is for you. Wonderful

We spent 4 nights at the hotel and we love the staff from reception desk to the breakfast area and special lounge. I will definitely return to this delightful hotel. It is also located at a great place in Kyoto and many activities are walkable distance. Hotel personnel is really looking for the most to help you. After a bad fall in a tour, when I returned to the hotel, they provided big I e-pockets which helped much. Thank you Fauchon for this wonderful memories you helped us create. To the next time!

I love staying at Fauchon Hotel Kyoto for so many reasons—the beautiful and thoughtful interior design details, the kind staff, and the location! When I checked in, Kana, who was helping me, was kind enough to upgrade me to a bigger room where I had a view of the cherry blossoms in bloom outside. Also, my room offered free snacks to take home in a cute tote bag! Because of my Expedia Silver status, I got a discount for food at the hotel, so I tried out the high tea with a friend. We really enjoyed how beautiful everything was. The hotel’s location is great in that there’s a convenience store, bus, and train station within walking distance. You can check out cherry blossoms nearby, and there are plenty of restaurants to choose from. (I found a really cute café called Kawa Café, where you have a beautiful view of Kamo River with sakura trees lining the riverbank. This cafe even has a cute cat called Kawa-chan!) When I checked out, the concierge helped me get a taxi to go to my next destination. All in all, I had such a great stay here and would recommend this hotel to everyone. I would love to stay here again someday.

Everything was great, from check in, comfortable beds, great snacks in room and the pajamas were incredible. The only disappointing issue was that I went to the gift shop to buy the pajamas I had in the room, but when I came home I realized they gave me the large instead of the small which I asked for. Now I need to figure out how to get a new pair sent to me and send the too large pair back. Other than that, it was a perfect hotel with a great view of the mountains and river.
