The stay was disappointing. The room was tiny, and the bed was uncomfortable: the mattress sagged right in the middle, and the pillows were bad.
The team at reception seemed to do the bare minimum; they weren't rude, but the service lacked any warmth. The luggage delivery company (external from the hotel) damaged our suitcase, and the reception team repeatedly questioned us (\"Are you sure it wasn't already broken?\"), which made the whole situation uncomfortable.

We were in Kyoto for only two nights. This hotel is in no way a 4 star hotel. The rooms are small but tidy. Bathrooms resembled lavatories on an airplane. The location was good. The price was high for this property. From the looks of the hotel, I would've considered this a 2 star property.

A Great Place to Stay in Kyoto

The hotel staff were very accommodating and the room was clean and comfortable. It was also very well located; the subway was only three blocks away, and some sites were within easy walking distance. I didn't have breakfast there, but was able to buy what I wanted at the convenience stores in the area. The hotel is also very close to Kyoto station, the main train station of the city.

Hotel is very foreign guest friendly and handles lots of western tourists.
Rooms are just large enough as not to be crowded and beds are firm but comfy.
One block from subway, which now has signs in English, and a short taxi from JR rail station.
Right behind hotel is a great walking area of shops and food in old tradition and great 7-11 right in front of hotel, which does not put anything in the firge bar.
Very reasonable rates and breakfast charge.

Hotel was easy to get to near

Hotel was easy to get to near a subway stop. Also it's not a far walk from the Teramachi shopping arcade. The room was larger than most other double rooms I've stayed at in Japan. Free internet in the room was useful. The decoration was dated, and the bed was a little bit hard and springy -- not like the very soft mattresses that many places now use. Unfortunately the lobby smells like an ashtray because they allow smoking in the lobby, but I never stayed in the lobby more than 2 minutes so it wasn't a big problem. Overall, it was a good deal with a location convenient for the subway, but not right in the action.

Hotel Gimmond tries hard to please

Very pleasant desk staff. Surprised that the Hotel had not shifted to cooling on the AC given the warm weather. Asked to have a room away from the street to allow open window, and was promptly accommodated. Then, the desk called and said they had switched over to cooling for AC- and they had!
The room was small, but no request was left unsatisfied.

Great stay in a perfect location

We stayed in Hotel Gimmond Kyoto for 3 nights in April. The location is perfect - just 2 minutes walk from a subway station, which is in turn just 3 stops from main Kyoto train station. Additionally, the location is central and very close to most of attractions. We walked most of the time, but there is plenty of public transportation available.
The room was clean and had everything we needed, though pretty small one - not a big deal for us.
For the price - we paid about $125/night (and we know how low USD currently is) - it's a great deal. I would stay there again and would recommend it to friends.

I live in Japan, so I expected

I live in Japan, so I expected a business style hotel when I booked Gimmond. It was pretty much what I had expected, small room, cramped unit bath and small TV. The price was in line with the room I stayed in. The location was great with subway lines close by and not far from the sites. The staff spoke English well and were very helpful when I had questions. One doesn't go to Kyoto to stay in the room so I think it is a good place to hang your hat. Don't expect luxury.

Hotel is very near a subway station which is great but not too convenient to the shopping district in Kyoto.
The doors and walls are thin so from your room you can hear the coming and going of other patrons in the hotel. But like all Japanese hotels, the staff are incredibly helpful and provide very good service.
