Detailed review & photos “Hotel Monterey Kyoto”

It is a hotel that incorporates both Kyoto and British style.

The entrance seen form the inside.

The Western style with a chandelier and fireplace was very cozy.

It is a Japanese style room with a warm feeling to it. The bed was comfortable to sleep on, and the pillows were soft. Perhaps thanks to the comfort of the Monterey original 100% cotton pajamas, I fell asleep immediately.

TV across the bed.

The mirror above the desk is big and does not get foggy. The desk was convenient to have when dressing up. There was an outlet in a convenient place to dry my hair or use my curling iron.

Chair and luggage stand.

My room had an extra bed by the window, but the window was designed not to let cold air come in and to block the sunlight which was very considerate.

The window could only be opened slightly. There was a building in front of the room, but I could see Rokkakudo from the gap. The morning sun came in and it felt very nice Karasuma Street in front of you has a lot of traffic from the morning. The street in front of the hotel was under construction, so there was a note in the room apologizing for the noise. However, my room was on the upper floors, do the noise did not bother me at all.

The bathroom was unit bath. Kao’s shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and face wash were provided. There was also a basket where clothes could be put in.

Amenities include toothbrush with toothpaste, shower cap, razor, cotton, cotton swab and hairbrush. Depending on the room, there are accommodation plans with other amenities.

The closet was tall and had plenty of room to hang long outfits. The wooden hangers that can also be used to hang trousers have a wide width, so you can hang thick coats. There was no safe in the closet.

There was Uji Sencha from Gion Tsujiri. There was a teapot and teacup, and there was an explanation of how to make a delicious cup of tea. Bottles of water were free for the number of people staying. There was also an electric kettle, which was useful making for tea and cooking instant food.

There was nothing inside the fridge.

I did not eat at the restaurant in the hotel. It is a cafe & bar on the 1st floor, and I saw many business men and women having a break there. Because there is free wifi in the hotel, it is a nice place to do some work.

There is natural hot spring in the hotel. If you are a hotel member, you can get a discount coupon and use it for a cheaper price.

There was a “chapel.” It is a chapel for weddings. The ceiling glass above the chapel had a stained glass which was beautiful when it was sunny.

There are two Starbucks and two convenience stores opposite the hotel.

Inoda Coffee Main Store that is open from 7am.

Choho-ji Temple “Rokkakudo.”

There were not many guests staying as a group. There were many staying alone. I saw a couple of families who were visiting form overseas. There were also many people who were only have something to eat at the restaurant.
