One of the best hotel nights ever. Lovely personnel, wonderful rooms, excellent surroundings. Top of the line I would say. When you stay here of course you won’t miss visiting their bar, K36. Wonderful view over Kyoto and the nearby temple.

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel Seiryu Kyoto completely blew me away. The staff were incredibly attentive without ever feeling overbearing, and every little detail felt intentional, from the scent in the hallways to the way the room lighting changes with the time of day. It is amazing how quiet and calm it is, considering it is just steps from one of Kyoto’s busiest tourist streets. The perfect mix of luxury, hospitality, and serenity.

The room was spotless, the staff was excellent from reservation to departure, the property was amazing and location was the best in the city in the Kiyomizu area. We were greeted at arrival and given an upgrade. Our bags had already been stored in our room. We had wonderful lounge experiences with the Maiko performance and the tea ceremony (which my kids loved) because it was "just enough" for them. I would recommend this hotel over and over again to anyone looking for a hotel in Kyoto.
