ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Kyoto

With seasoned staff keeping everything running smoothly, this Hotel has an irresistibly relaxed, gentle atmosphere. Unlike the more formal Hotel next door, it feels welcoming and flexible in the best way. I’ve stayed at many Hotels, but few offer such a calm, unhurried stay. The free shuttle bus to Kyoto Station is convenient, and there are plenty of great places nearby as well—an excellent location overall.

This time I stayed here on a business trip. I had been wanting to stay at this Hotel, so it was a great opportunity.The lobby was spacious, quiet, and relaxing, and the service was pleasant.I stayed in a renovated Room on the top floor. It had a great atmosphere and was very comfortable, so I enjoyed spending the evening in the Room instead of going out for a walk. Although it is a unit bath, the bathtub was spacious and the sink area was wide and easy to use.Breakfast offered a wide variety of options, and you can take your time. They even provided a coffee pot at the table, which was excellent. The chef-made omelet needs no comment, but I was surprised by how delicious the shumai were.I drove for this business trip, and guests can use the underground parking for free—this service was also great.It’s a Hotel that made me want to come back for leisure next time and enjoy a Multiple Night Stay at my own pace.
