We stayed 2 nights at this hotel. There's a train station across the street, just one stop from the Kyoto Station so the location was very convenient. From the lobby, there is a door that leads to a Family Mart. The rooms are quite spacious. The bathrooms are of a good size and the toilet is separate from the shower which makes it easy for people to use the bathroom. The amenities were good too. The beds were very comfortable as well. Our room rate came with breakfast which was very good and had a very wide selection of food. The front desk service was great too and people were very helpful. We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel and will likely stay here again for our next visit to Kyoto.
Our stay at Six Sense Kyoto has been, by far, one of the best experiences ever. We travelled as a family of four, with a 9 and 12 year old, and stayed here in July 2024. We loved every thing about the hotel, but I’ll stick to the highlights that left an impression on us: 1. Grow with Six Senses: a children’s club (5 years to 12 years) that is managed by two amazing, high-energy, wonderful, wonderful ladies! Both our girls loved visiting the club and engaging with the instructors. 2. Earth Lab: a lovely little program that is centered around the sustainability theme of the hotel. They have workshops where guests can learn the traditional Japanese art of gift wrapping, Fukushima, or work with natural, plant-derived colors to paint, or try your hands at creating washi paper! Our girls loved these workshops as well! 3. Breakfast at Sekki: as vegetarians and vegans, we usually have very limited options when it comes to food, outside of bread and some sad looking vegetables and fruits. Sekki offered us a lot more and then some! Plenty of vegetarian options, local, fresh fruits, gluten-free bread… it was more than one could possibly want. Their dinner menu too, is extensive, as far as veg and vegan options go. They did not hesitate to modify the menu either, when my daughter wanted a specific type of pasta! 4. The staff: I was saving the most important for the last: the staff. They are the true gems that make the absolute difference! Every EVERY single one of them is very courteous and deeply committed to making your stay one of the best ever. They work hard, with the warmest smiles, to organize your schedules, offer with brilliant recommendations… and doing pretty much everything you could possibly want, so all you need to do is relax and enjoy your stay. Special shout out to Yuko-San, Miku-San, Eiki-San, (front desk), Saki-San, Kaori-San (Grow with Six Senses and Earth Labs), Megumi-San (please ask for her at the spa! She’s bloody brilliant!) I’ve only mentioned the names that I remember, but this is also true of **every** one of the staff that we encountered. The experiences that we encounter in and with a city, is largely influenced by the place of stay. Six Senses Kyoto has made memories of our visit to the city, that much sweeter, and has left us wanting for more. We are coming back. For sure.
