My stay at The Thousand Kyoto was fantastic overall. I loved the modern and spacious room, and the location near Kyoto Station made it easy to explore the area. However, the dining options during breakfast were somewhat limited, which was a little disappointing.

While the breakfast buffet was decent, the variety of options left a bit to be desired. The food quality was good, but I think they could definitely enhance the breakfast choices to appeal to more international travelers.

My stay at The Thousand Kyoto was a mix of high points and a few letdowns. The beautiful architecture and modern design really stood out, plus the hotel's location next to Kyoto Station made it super convenient for exploring. However, I found the service could use some improvement, as there were moments when it felt a bit impersonal and rigid. Overall, it was a nice experience but not without its flaws.

The hotel is well-equipped with modern amenities, including a tablet for room settings and robot service for delivering water. I appreciated the high-quality toiletries, but sustainability policies meant some basic amenities were missing.
