Fantastic accommodation
The room was pristine, the amenities were great - we had access to a crib and free stroller rental for our overseas stay. Technology was cool, we especially loved the robot that delivered ice to our room late in the evening (from around 10p). The aromatherapy upon entry and art features in the lobby (musical, lighted steps and sheer fabric kinetic art feature) were also highly appreciated by our family - a nice calming environment to return to art the end of a long hot day touring Kyoto.

We were traveling from the US and stayed here. Would highly recommend this hotel. Extremely convenient from the station, it is located right by, so you can just walk. The property is done so well from the lobby, rooms to the restaurant. Staff is exceptional! Wish we could have stayed longer.

The Thousand is probably the best hotel I've every stayed in. I've stayed at the Ritz, Mandarin and other 5 stars. However, something about the country and culture makes them exceptional. The property is top notch, but the people makes them special.

recently had the pleasure of staying at The Thousand in Kyoto, and it was an experience that exceeded all expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the seamless blend of modern luxury and traditional Japanese aesthetics. The hotel’s design is stunning, with sleek lines and natural materials that create a serene and sophisticated atmosphere. My room was spacious, impeccably clean, and equipped with all the amenities one could wish for. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep after a day of exploring the city. One of the highlights of my stay was the impeccable service. The staff at The Thousand went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. They were attentive, friendly, and always ready to assist with any request. Their recommendations for local dining and sightseeing were spot-on, enriching my Kyoto experience

Very stylish, but style over substance for sure. Example being the projectors which make cool patterns on the lobby stairs at night - looks great from above, but if you walk past or down the stairs you get blinded by projector lights at eye level! The coffee in the restaurants is absolutely terrible and machines constantly "needing service". Many other examples I won't bore you with, and all minor annoyances, but if you're paying this price it's not great. Plenty of better options out there.

I love this hotel. Room, dining, staff all first rate. Dare I say excellent on all respects. Hotels in Japan seem to not offer late night movies in English nor apparently in any other language. After a long hot walking day and a delicious dinner a late movie is kanpeki

The Thousand Hotel was so nice. The reception area and staff are very welcoming. The scent in the lobby was so nice, I had to buy the air diffuser and essence oil. The rooms are beautifully designed and bed was super comfortable. This hotel is a stones throw away from the train station which made it convenient for getting around. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this location.
