Kyoto Brighton Hotel

My room was large with a very big shower and tub area and full size soaking tub. Everything was updated and the mattress was very comfortable. The room had everything I needed, including a small fridge and a handy in-room safety box. Breakfast was included with my room and I could choose between the excellent Japanese breakfast in the Japanese restaurant overlooking a garden, or opt for the Western-style buffet which featured made to order eggs and omelets and a wide array of delicious options. I liked the location near the Gosho Imperial Palace and the Marutamachi subway station. When I was feeling lazy I took the free shuttle to Oike/Karasuma, where I could catch two different subways (east-west and north-south). The open atrium in the center featured a coffee shop/bar and was a pleasant place to chat with friends. I used to live in Kyoto and this is one of my favorite parts of town, very convenient yet quiet. I can speak Japanese, but was glad that the front desk staff included some very good English speakers. I found the staff at this hotel very friendly and professional throughout the property. After staying for one week, I found it very hard to leave. I will definitely be back.

Hotel Brighton Kyoto offers a comfortable and spacious stay, with rooms that are surprisingly large, the biggest I experienced on my Japan trip. The staff is attentive and efficient, always ready to assist, and they provide newspapers every morning, which is a rare and thoughtful touch nowadays.

The room was very spacious, clean and luxurious. The staff were friendly and helpful. The western breakfast was fabulous; there were so many options. I really enjoyed my stay at the Kyoto Brighton Hotel. It was a short walk to the subway that I took to the conference center every day too.

Everything was great. I was extremely impressed by the services and friendliness of the staff team. They went above and beyond to help you. They also can communicate in English. The room we booked was huge in Japanese standard about 50m. Everything was well organized and thought out. I only stayed at this hotel for one night and we had a driver/car with us all the time, so I cannot comment on the location and neighborhood but our driver, who has been living in Japan for over 15 years told us it was a great location full of high-end hotels.

The staff were very welcoming. The Japanese breakfast was exceptional. The bike hire was very convenient and enhanced our trip. Proximity to Imperial Palace was wonderful.
