Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Cross Hotel Kyoto from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the hotel's superb location, which offers convenient access to transport links, shopping, and dining, including nearby halal options. The rooms are frequently described as spacious, with particularly impressive bathrooms, and some guests appreciated the extra touch of toiletries being replenished. While some found the breakfast selection repetitive after a few days, many others enjoyed the lovely breakfast and the charming hotel gardens, both during the day and when illuminated at night. A 7-Eleven located on the ground floor adds to the convenience.
