Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Thousand Kyoto enjoys a fantastic location right next to Kyoto Station, making it easy to explore the city and offering convenient access to the station's excellent food court. Guests consistently praise the hotel's stunning, modern design, with spacious and beautifully designed rooms; some have, however, mentioned that the rooms could use a double bed, and that this involves a supplement. Many highlight the superb breakfast, which features a wide array of high-quality choices, and the hotel's proximity to attractions like Nishiki Market is a plus for shopping enthusiasts.

The hotel location is great due its proximity to the train station. I could easily reach different points of interest.
The black stain on my pillow made me question the cleanliness of this place. I found it off-putting, especially considering the price of the room. The hotel should ensure better hygiene standards.
