The Four Seasons kyoto is an exceptional, brand-new hotel that exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, everything felt pristine and thoughtfully designed. The rooms are gorgeous—spacious, elegant, and incredibly comfortable, with an attention to detail that truly sets this property apart. Cleanliness is impeccable throughout the hotel. Breakfast was outstanding—fresh, beautifully presented, and one of the best hotel breakfasts we’ve had in Japan. The ofuro in the spa is divine—a serene, deeply relaxing experience and the perfect way to unwind after exploring the beautiful garden with beautiful shrine and koi fish. We genuinely loved every second of our stay. Four Seasons kyoto has raised the bar and is now one of our favorite hotels anywhere. We cannot wait to return.

This hotel offers a great experience with its exceptional service. However, I wish there were more dining options available, as the nearby area seems to be quite inactive. Additionally, the garden could be improved by installing better lighting to make it usable at night.

I could not have asked for better service and accommodations (okay breakfast was okay- not great). Amazing spa and fitness facility. Amazing views of the garden. When it snowed it was like a winter wonderland. My friends and I were blown away by how incredibly nice the hotel was and how much nicer the employees were. This place is EXPENSIVE, but with every penny. I will be back.

4/10 Fair

Run by trainees and all experienced staff left.

Based on the level of service, the staff consists of what appears to be 75% new trainees. Breakfast hostess forgot to give us menus until we asked. Coffee order took 20 minutes and we had to ask again before receiving. Sushi restaurant is dismal. 1 star Michelin price but clearly outdated by 20 years. Fish quality good. Cooked dishes were heinous. 1 piece Anago nigiri sushi = 30 USD! Check-in was awkward. Definitely a trainee. Don't bother with the iPad service chat feature. They don't reply.
