ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Kyoto

My daughter-in-law’s parents live near Nijo Castle, and we stayed here to coincide with her second homecoming childbirth. Parking was free, and although there was a minor issue in the Room, it was handled promptly. The free shuttle bus to Kyoto Station was also very convenient. I’ve stayed overnight in Kyoto many times, and I truly feel we should have used this place much sooner. The area in front of the banquet hall on the second floor was spacious as well, and even though it was scorching hot outside, we were able to relax and play with our two-year-old first grandchild—making this a stay we are deeply grateful for.

Stayed for the Nijo Castle light-up event. Convenient location right by the subway station with parking available, which is a great bonus. Parking before and after check-in can also be arranged upon consultation, which is very helpful. Within walking distance, there are various dining options for both morning and evening meals, including Kyoto-style breakfast spots, Japanese restaurants, hot dog stands, and pizza places. The renovated room was comfortable with a cozy table by the window that was perfect for writing or dining. Having a bathtub was also a plus—buying bath salts from the nearby convenience store made it feel like an Onsen experience. Although there was an issue with the room facility at night during my stay, the staff responded kindly and attentively, showcasing excellent hospitality from the hotel. With rising hotel prices in Kyoto, this accommodation offers fair pricing along with comfort and convenience—a truly appreciated option!
