Four Points Flex by Sheraton Kyoto Oike

A Mixed Mariot hotel Staff were super friendly and location wise its central Kyoto but cleanliness was average and it makes some odd decisions when it comes to amenities Oddly the service is probably the worst of any mariott ive had and its not the staff but the policies. Bathrobes? Gotta collect from downstairs each time in the name of carbon footprint? But the big tv comes on each time i open the door Water? Nope….gotta go downstairs for it Simple things all need to be collected by hand each day and in the room i kept finding random hairs….must be using a low energy vacuum aswell Only one working elevator or the other is turnt off to save carbon and as a result sometimes you can wait 20 minutes to go downstairs…not joking, me and 5 others took the risk one morning of opening the fire door and taking the outside stairs to get out…can confirm fire doors are not alarmed Yet the staff were super helpful and polite which makes it a mixed bag. I would probably not stay again due to the policies then the staff Location is nice though nejo castle : 10 minute walk west Imperial Castle : 10 minute walk north Golden Pavilion : 20minute bus right outside The harder one is the Fushima Inori you need to go 30 minutes east and 40 minute train south Lastly bath is big and no noise at night

I used this many time and I will use it ask always. It is very easy and save queue and costs.

Short walk from the subway. I was pleasantly surprised how beautiful and elegant it was. And how they blended traditional Japanese elements like the serene gardens at the entryway with chic modern furniture and very tasteful finishes. I appreciated the helpful staff and laundry and deep soaking tub. It felt like a much more expensive hotel.
