I’ve stayed at THE GATE HOTEL Kyoto Takasegawa before, and I still really like the overall vibe 💕
The location is great, and the hotel has that stylish, relaxed feeling that makes it easy to enjoy Kyoto without trying too hard. Walking along the river nearby is always nice, and coming back to the hotel after being out all day still feels comfortable.
That said, I couldn’t help but notice that the cleanliness wasn’t as good as it used to be. On my previous stay, everything felt spotless and very well cared for, which is actually why I chose to come back. This time, the room felt a bit less fresh, and small details made it seem like cleaning standards have slipped a little. It wasn’t terrible, but it was noticeable, especially knowing how good it was before.
Overall, it’s still a pleasant place to stay, and I like the atmosphere a lot 🌿
I just hope the hotel brings the cleaning quality back to the level it had before, because that was one of its strongest points for me.
