Truly a leading hotel of the world!
Pros:

The location was fabulous and the facilities were first class!

Cons:

Ingress and egress were different at times but that was because it was so close to the tourist attractions

Outstanding hotel, location, customer service and staff with an excellent buffet and views!
Pros:

The room was comfortable and large with big windows, well equipped. Lots of light, roof top and pagoda views, modern and serene room. The bathroom is big, great hot water pressure, wonderful amenities constantly replenished. Loved the wood tooth brushes, combs, and hair brushes. Very sweet to send up to the room nonalcoholic Chardonnay for a birthday—was delicious.

Cons:

Guests should be told to wear the indoor slippers provided by the hotel because the carpets have dirt stains. The third sofa bed was smaller than expected. Non dairy milk or creamer should be provided for the coffee machine.

Pros:

Trata-se de um excelente hotel, com uma estrutura compatível com a categoria a que se propõe, os quartos são amplos, confortáveis, destaco o serviço que sempre nos encanta pela gentileza e cordialidade. Os restaurantes do hotel são geridos por terceiros, testamos apenas o do rooftop que tem uma vista privilegiada para a Pagoda, e foi uma ótima experiência.

Cons:

Talvez a única coisa que eu não tenha gostado foi a decoração de natal, ver aquela árvore de natal em tons de azul "brigando" com a beleza da fachada restaurada me trouxe certo incômodo. Fora esse detalhe, pontuo também o café da manhã, que mesmo excelente, limita o pedido dos pratos quentes a uma única escolha.

Perfect location for a very comfortable stay
Pros:

Fabulous location in heart of Gion close to the main temples. A very special location and property. Rooms of good size, super comfortable and well equipped. Lounge is a real benefit and staff there super helpful and accommodating of all. Also events put on for guests. Check out was a good experience with a super helpful staff member; breakfast box was good!

Cons:

The restaurants - required booking well in advance. This even included breakfast on one day (was over new year holiday). We therefore missed out on the sushi restaurant. Benoit - food was mixed and we didn’t feel very welcome (comparing to eating at another Gion hotel restaurant where we were warmly welcomed as walk-ins!). Paying an 11,000 yen cover charge to sit and eat in the largely empty indoor bar area as residents felt over the top. Bar menu also limited. Steak was good though. All these things could have been made clear in advance or at check in but weren’t.

Absolutely stunning hotel. Converted school into a luxury hotel that still kept structures from the original school buil
Pros:

Location, building

Cons:

Continental breakfast was just okay. But the traditional Japanese Michelin breakfast was amazing. Kids struggled to find something they liked.

Luxurious experience in the centre of a historic area.
Pros:

Very luxurious experience. Hotel was close to 2 historic UNESCO sites and lots of tourist shopping. The "guest lounge" concept was impressive and I enjoyed many champagnes there with finger food.

Cons:

Far from "normal" restaurants - need a 20 minute brisk walk, which is not always recommended in winter with little kids and an old parent.

The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu created a wonderful experience and was the highlight of my trip.
Pros:

Guests have access to the guest lounge, and there are also several convenient stores nearby for a quick breakfast option.

Cons:

Can’t think of anything.
