It’s different....

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 30 May 2019
This hotel has more of a French connection. The rooms are not that big but the bed was comfortable & a great shower! Plus a bath.
We were asked to have breakfast at 6.45 as the hotel was full & would have not had room if we went down at 7 am.
The hotel once again did not have coffee in the room. We went to a 7-11 store and bought milk & coffee. They did have English breakfast T.bags.
It was close to a market & different shops which was nice

Thank you very much for staying with us, Hotel Monterey Kyoto. We are very glad to read your reviews. As you mention, we don't have coffee in the guest rooms(Kyoto is famous for green tea).
We look forward to your next coming to Kyoto.

From checking in to checking out, our stay at Hotel Monterey was wonderful. At the time of check in we were assisted with our bags to our room. The room was kept very clean and is well maintained. The best surprise when entering the room was seeing that we were provided with a phone for the time of our stay! This was so awesome as it allowed us to have maps, internet, and international calling while out exploring. Also, we added breakfast to our stay and it was very delicious.

This fairly modern hotel's design is based on the Arts and Crafts theme and as it's website states ... "A hotel that combines the best of Kyoto's stylish culture and Britain's traditional heritage." I cannot fault this statement.
The hotel has a unique attribute of having a church in the grounds provides the complete wedding and other services

Room tip: Rooms are generally quiet

This is a great hotel located conveniently in Kyoto. Everything is clean, well kept and more interesting than your typical chain hotel. Very friendly and accommodating staff. The rooms are larger than I had expected (we had a king), but keep in mind this is Japan and rooms are not what you find in the US. Certainly larger than anything you’ll find in Tokyo for the price. I would recommend Hotel Monterey without hesitation.

The room was cosy enough for the both of us, and was pretty comfortable despite its size. Claustrophobes might beg to differ but we quite enjoyed our stay. The fridge wasn't particularly efficient in chilling our convenience store treats but that's about it for our issues. The check-in/out process was fuss-free, the streets nearby are lined with many cafés and convenience stores, and the subway is a stone's throw away. Not to mention Nishiki Market being just 10 minutes away. We didn't go for the breakfast option, what with everything else outside to be explored and savored. I'd like to try staying elsewhere on my next visit but this place will always be a great option for straightforward comfort and convenience.

Good sized rooms, good location accessible by subway. There are cafes that lined the street, coffee places and convenient stores. The hotel lobby is decorated in an English style. There is a wedding hall and a restaurant in the street level. The staff were helpful and efficient, the check in too mins.
