“The interior takes its cues from Heian-era aristocratic style, a thoughtful counterpoint to its modern structure. I noted its prime location near Kyoto Station, paired with surprisingly quiet rooms, an advantage in this busy transport hub. Breakfast caters to a range of diets, from vegetarian to gluten-free, a practical detail for diverse travelers.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the Mercure Kyoto Station for its modern and imaginative design, with spacious, well-appointed rooms and comfortable beds. The hotel's proximity to Kyoto Station makes it convenient for exploring the city. Many enjoyed the large breakfast buffet, although some found the bread selection limited; plus, an afternoon drink/light buffet lounge offers a nice bonus.

Excellent Hotel with Great Location

convenient locationdecent roominterior lighting

I appreciated the convenient location, only a short walk from the train station. A laundry facility nearby was very handy too. The room size was very decent, especially for Japan. The hotel provided good value overall.

The room's interior lighting was somewhat dark. It could definitely use improvement. I also found the lack of an onsite laundry inconvenient. A laundromat is a 5-minute walk, but its cleanliness is questionable.

Rooms

9/10

The room included comfortable linens, pillows, and a mattress. The decor was tastefully done and spacious. The room had excellent features like lighting controls and a Nespresso machine. It was an excellent room overall.

Dining

10/10

The buffet breakfast provided a tasty mix of Western and Japanese styles. The options were numerous and varied. Dinner in the restaurant was AMAZING!!! The food was delicious and the service was perfect.

Service

9/10

The front desk staff were helpful and very professional. The staff spoke perfect English. The hotel staff were very nice, though sometimes understanding an English accent was slightly challenging. They were well-prepared for tourists.

Location

10/10

The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the main train and subway station. A shopping mall is also nearby. The hotel is nested in a quiet area. This is an easy walking distance, even with luggage.
