This is an excellent hotel, with a small, but lovely lounge. We received a call the morning after checking in that our status with Expedia provided free breakfast. This was very nice. The staff are excellent. Would stay again.

What a beautiful boutique hotel! The staff were great and very friendly. The room was clean, spacious and updated - and the bed was comfortable. Our favourite part was the bar and snacks that were available in the afternoon/evening plus the breakfast :)

This is a fantastic hotel. The rooms are very new and slightly larger than your standard room in Japan. Beds were comfy, bathroom was spectacular, and the lounge had free drinks and snacks. About a 10 minute walk from the subway. Would highly recommend this place!

Great stay at The General Kyoto - an easy 15 minute walk to a great dining/restaurant area and the Gion District. Clean, comfortable, well-appointed room and a nice bonus of a Lounge with free (!) drinks and snacks during the day and cocktails, snacks & desserts at night.

As soon as we walked in we got a very warm welcome at the reception. The staff was incredibly friendly and offered to help us with our luggage. During our stay we felt very well taken care of. The hotel itself has a modern look but still had a warm feel. Its about 7 to 10 mins walk to the Nishiki market and again 7 to 10 mins to the nearest subway station. Theres snacks and tea/drinks available in the lounge which were free to have. Id definitely recommend staying here, and I'll becoming back myself in the future.

Wow wow wow! Above our expectations! The most enjoyable part of the stay is the free afternoon tea time and lounge hours. They offer many options including the "coolish" drinkable ice cream! That was an ace for our kids and us 🤗 the staff here are so friendly and patient. We in general think that Japanese are not that friendly to visitors, but the hotel staff here were very different. They sure know what customers want. We also enjoyed so much about our room. There are many details impressed us. They offered kids slippers which we have never seen before. The location is super convenient and we can walk to almost anywhere.
