The property is very nice. It’s new, centrally located and great rooms. We loved staying here.
They are extreme stickler for time about everything. Checkin - has to be dot at 3 even though rooms are available. Breakfast dot at 10….their app which is used to order stops working at 10:01. Rigid to give another card to go up since we forgot ours on top. For a family with children all these don’t work. In breakfast, if you want slight modification because your children want it a little different, very rigid to accommodate.

Location could not be beat. It was adjacent to the Kyoto station! It took us walking 5 minutes between the hotel entrance and the Kyoto Station entrance. Bonus is seeing the Kyoto Tower every single time we walked from the hotel to the station. Both restaurants on property were also very good both for dining on location and in-room dining. This is rare occurrence for a hotel! Loved that there's also afternoon tea on offer at their Bar Lounge. The amenities were all very good. The shower water pressure was amazing. The bed and beddings were plush and very comfortable. I slept very well!

Clean, updated with a good sized table that was convenient
Not enough empty drawers, hooks or shelves to store my clothes and toiletries. All available drawers were taken up by the hotel to store various amenities.

The staff were friendly helpful and always happy to help. The entrance to the hotel, the lobby and the public area were way better than most and had a definite wow factor. Naomi the robot was such a delight, and a surprise, that we would have liked to have taken her back home with us. The shower, bathroom and separate toilet were exceptional. If we had known in advance that there would be a pop up bar in the lobby, which incidentally is spectacular at night with the light show, we would have planned to have a night cap.
A minor point, but it is quite difficult to get a non-milk espresso coffee in Japan. If one could get hot soy milk to add to an espresso coffee, at breakfast, it would have been great. Finally, even though it only took a few minutes when we departed, it took us about 45 minutes to find our way out of Kyoto station from the Shinkansen when we first arrived. A simple suggestion like, "exit Kyoto Station via the main Central Exit opposite Kyoto Tower. Turn 90 degrees right and the hotel is straight ahead of you and less than a minute's walk away". It was so easy after the first time. Finding all the suggested exits on various websites and interpreting Google was just too hard.

Spacious, modern and very conveniently located.
We were accused of and charged for taking a beer from the refrigerator even tho we did not. Despite protesting this charge, I was still charged.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The interior is modern, clean, and beautifully designed. The large, comfy bed and exceptionally clean bathroom with minimal style decor and functional design stood out. The lighting creates a cozy ambiance, and the room is fully equipped with amenities. A highlight was the adorable housekeeping robot—such a unique touch!
Overall, the staff were helpful, though I found the service less engaging and friendly compared to the high standards I’ve experienced at other 5-star hotels. During our 8-night stay, we received complimentary snacks on only two days, which was a minor detail but worth noting.

Very nice hotel. It is somewhat hidden in a cul-de-sac near the extraordinary Kyoto station. The design concept is excellently executed. You immediately feel comfortable in this hotel. The ambiance is accordingly pleasant. The rooms are very well equipped, and the king-size double bed is very comfortable. Also worth mentioning is the room size, which is almost oversized by Japanese standards (we booked two double rooms). The breakfast buffet is offered in two variations: Western and Japanese. The food, drinks, and service are all at a high level. The well-equipped fitness center offers everything you could wish for. And for everything described, there are the wonderful, competent, and extremely friendly and courteous staff.
The only small downside is that there was no swimming pool.

The room interior is designed with a lot of attractive details, and I was impressed on the first day. The location of the hotel is literally just 1 or 2 minutes away from the station. It was a bit hard to find the entrance the first day after the dusk, but once you get familiar with the surrounding you will find the location is really convenient. The house-keeping was nicely done daily, and every day when we came back to our hotel room it just felt so nice to be back.
The breakfast offering is not that impressive compared with less expensive hotels. Japanese breakfast choice provides some good experience with Japanese style of eating. With our 8-day stay there, we chose Japanese breakfast four times, and it had the same menu every day. It became boring, but since the other alternative is not attractive either, we ended up going there half of our time. The western style buffet as an alternative choice provides a very limited range of food selections, and compared with some less expensive hotels we stayed with before, it is a bit disappointing.

Everything! I lucked out as I reserved the room at an unusually great price that included breakfast. The bed was super comfortable; the shower had great pressure; and the breakfast was excellent - I preferred the western style buffet rather than the set Japanese menu. The entire staff was outstanding - professional, courteous, and helpful. The building was modern yet sublimely Japanese in decor. Loved the aroma in the entrance area so much that I bought a small bottle of the oil. The location could not be more convenient, right next to the Kyoto train station and the city bus terminal.
Wished they offered their large spa baths (daiyokujo) for free to the hotel guests rather than charge around $20.

We had a lovely stay at this centrally located hotel. I am an exceptionally fussy traveller with high expectations. We toyed with the idea of staying out of the the very central part of the city (which we may do next time, our pick will be the Four Seasons or Park Hyatt) but being our first time in Kyoto, we wanted to be centrally located. We stayed in a suite, with traditional Tatami mats & futon (although regular beds were in the room too). The attention to detail from a design perspective in the suite was excellent. It was thoughtfully curated. We had a lovely outlook on to our own private garden. I will miss the Japanese Maples. Despite being close to Kyoto station, we felt we were in our own sanctuary. While most of the staff were very helpful, and the room serviced daily to an exceptional standard, a very special mention must be given to The Thousand's most fabulous employee, Ai. Ai was there to greet us daily, assisted with our room upgrade on arrival (to a suite) and even walked us to the Shinkansen on departure. The Thousand should feel very lucky to have such a professional working for them. She really made our stay memorable. The breakfast was lovely with an option of Western or Japanese (with numerous courses), the atmosphere and service was good. The only disappointing aspect of the stay was the food at Scalae. The food was under par for the prices. Similarly, the food options at the Tea and Bar were quite limited, took far too long to arrive and the bar lacked atmosphere.
The food at Scalae could have been better.
