It is easy to walk from teh hotel to bus stops, and the buses go to most tourist attractions. The decoration of the hotel is minimalist and zen. I stayed at two types of rooms-balcony king and corner double. The balcony king room, with the large wooden tub and marble floor, is luxury. The corner double, with seperated living and sleeping area, is practical. I enjoy them both. I have decent service since booking. I get an email to book all my needs using e-concierge. During my stay, I easily to get friendly help from the staff, like asking about attraction, DVDs and a humidifier. I recommend this hotel.

I have stayed at the Hyatt Regency last October / November for 2 weeks and was so impressed with the standards of service, beautiful room/bathroom , great restaurants and fantastic location right next to Sanjusangendo ! Our stay was just wonderful, thank you Ms Shimoda and Ms Sakura for your kindness and professional advises at all time.
Buffet breakfast is delicious, the italian restaurant fantastic and the sushi among the best in Kyoto.I can't recommend the Hyatt enough.We shall be back in April with great pleasure!!

The quiet location is soothing after the crowd of the city. Conveniently situated beside a bus stop and a short walk to the trains, it is very easy to get around. Everything is tasteful - cool but also cold. Still, you can't beat the the bathroom with all its amenities in a fitted drawer.

We stayed there two nights. Nice zen room, though our view was of the lower roof and tree tops. Spacious and clean, the deco was tasteful and, well, zen. Minimalist but practical, we liked the uncluttered country feel, and thought the place was clean and well kept. The service staff was extremely helpful and proactive, and offered some good tips for sightseeing. The only main downside was the restaurant Touzan. It's way overrated and very expensive. We ate there and had a Kaiseki dinner on the recommendation of guide books, but we found the beef tough, so unlike the beef we had in far more reasonable joints. That said the restaurant is in a nice setting but that still doesn't justify the high price. Overall, I would highly recommend the Hyatt Kyoto. Comments that it's a little way off from key tourist attractions are true, but remember, this isn't that large a city to begin with.
