Hotel Villa Fontaine VILLAGE KYOTO

friendly staff and very helpful with directions and suggestions on sights to see.we were upgraded to a larger room without having to ask.the hotel was spotlessly clean and the breakfast options were great.the hotel is well located for walking touring. i would highly recommend this hotel and would stay there again without hesitation

Very clean hotel. Beautiful facilities and close to rail and bus links. Bit pricey and a little way out of town - but nonetheless an excellent place to stay. The baths were terrific and very well looked after.

We got a last minute booking at the Kyoto Village Hotel, close to Shijoomiya station. Very lucky - good location, helpful staff and comfortable room. Would recommend and would stay there again. We hired bicycles near the nearby food market, and found travelling around the city very easy.

The staff were very friendly and spoke excellent English. The quality of the finishes and fittings was superb. We had actually booked for the wrong nights, but they just accepted it as a simple mistake! Very good location for most attractions. Overall, a real jewell of a hotel.

The Village Hotel, I guess, is somewhere between a western hotel and a ryokan, as it has an onsen-like bath, with separate facilities for men and women, although you also get a shower in the rooms. For a place that cost me over £200 per night, I was surprised at the lack of facilities on offer. There is no swimming pool and no gym and the breakfast is simply a bento box. I think it was this that I found least appealing, as the choices on offer in the bento boxes left me as a not-enthusiastic eater of eastern food before lunch, with only the western-style box. This contained a breakfast that could have been plane food, although, of course, the eggs and ham/bacon were cold. Breakfasts on a plane are usually to be avoided and so we avoided this breakfast after one attempt and bought our own food from the 7/11 across the way.

With 3 children (11, 10 and 4) we booked a large suite with a bathroom. Although small by western standards, the room was very comfortable. Breakfast was delivered to our doorstep and in individual boxes. Free high speed internet connection. Bedding was Japanese style i.e. tatamis. The hotel is within a short train ride or taxi ride away from most attractions. A good value for the money.

Excellent hotel. Would definitely stay at again

Japanese style hotel - you sleep on tatami and have to make your bed every evening by yourself. Very clean, very friendly people at the reception. We did not like the bento box breakfast. From my point of view very good location on the main street and very near to one of the important bus stations with very good connections to all part of th city.

Located centrally on Shijo Dori, staff very helpful and welcoming. Bus stop 100 metres from hotel. Rooms are small but good value price. Japanese tatami mat rooms. Good value for money.

Es una lástima que no dispongan de ordenadores para conectarse a internet. Si disponen de wifi pero no todos viajamos con el portatil.
