Hokuriku Scuba Diving Holidays

Great location - loved that it was easy to find and arranged to the train station (super convenient). Great dining options close by!

Beautiful spacious well equipped room. Close to universal studios. Easy walk to ferry to visit Osaka aquarium.

Staying at THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA was an unforgettable experience. The hotel blends modern elegance with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and its location is fantastic—right by the Kamo River and within walking distance to Gion, Nishiki Market, and many great restaurants and shops. The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and spotless. The bed was extremely comfortable, and all the amenities felt thoughtfully chosen. The staff are friendly, professional, and always attentive. Breakfast was excellent, with both Japanese and Western options, served in a stylish dining space that made mornings feel special. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. It’s the perfect balance of comfort, design, and location, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto.

This was the best hotel we stayed at in Japan. It was brand new and the design was so stylish. A boutique, luxury hotel. The room was amazing - spacious, luxurious and airy with great views over Kyoto to the hills. Such a pleasure to relax in and come back to after our days out in Kyoto. The metro and train station was steps away which made it easy to get around and also to leave for Osaka. The main street into downtown Kyoto from Gion was also steps away but because the hotel is on a side street, you don't get the passing traffic - cars or foot traffic. You can step straight out of the hustle into quiet. Pontocho Alley is a stones throw away, we walked to the Nikishi Markets and across into Gion. The kids thought they were royalty staying here and they loved the complimentary drinks in the lobby. They would go down every morning and help themselves to iced cocoas. I would whole-heartedly recommend this hotel to all. Thank you for an amazing stay.

Amazing staff! Gorgeous hotel. The views from the hotel were awesome

The lobby area of this hotel was opulent to say the least but the rooms certainly didn’t correspond. It could use som serious updating. The reception upon arrival was EXCELLENT! English speaking employees were few.
