"Beautiful peaceful ryokan with the full Japanese experience. We loved both of the bookable bathhouses- great after a chilly day in the Deer Park. The kaiseki dinner in your own private adjoining dining room was beautifully presented and delicious. The staff were all very lovely. Highly recommend. "

"The staff are fabulous, very attentive and customer focused. We had an outdoor private bath which was wonderful and highly recommended. Our one complaint is the beds (futon) they were very thin and hard. We did not sleep well. "

"The hotel is modern and well maintained. The restaurant was very good. The gym was adequate and had the best view on the 31st floor. We liked the hotel. But even with the corner room, our room felt cramped. The room layout was more aesthetic, less functional. "
"Our stay at The Blossom Kyoto hotel was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with such warmth and care that it immediately set the tone for the entire experience.
The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful, blending modern design with elegant traditional Japanese touches. Our room was a great size for two people, comfortable, thoughtfully designed, and incredibly relaxing. The ambiance throughout the property felt peaceful and refined, making it easy to unwind after a day of exploring Kyoto.
One of the highlights was the welcome matcha drink. It was surprisingly delicious, even for someone like me who isn’t typically a fan of matcha. It was such a thoughtful and memorable touch.
The buffet breakfast was another standout. There were plenty of options, all fresh and flavorful, making it something we looked forward to each morning.
Kyoto itself is a magical city, but this hotel truly elevated our experience. I only wish we could have stayed longer."
"Easy checkin, clean room, great staff. Location is across the street from USJ, part of the CityWalk. Train station is just outside the hotel, next to CityWalk."
