I rarely write reviews but have to for this as the property and the staff were amazing. I used to be in hotels and the upkeep on Hotel Musse has been amazing. Ie still looks and feels completely new. It was so quiet - despite being in the absolute thick of things. It is right on the main shopping strip - also right beside the Kamo and Pontocho alley and in bw 2 stations. Breakfast was great and the drinks machine in the lobby was a nice touch. there is a family mart right next door + a chemist + everything. Non hotel related but pls note that Kyoto is not as well serviced as Tokyo by subways and busses form the main mode of local transport here, so a lot of the time taking a taxi is a better saving especially of limited holiday time and also money. Also most retail shops and a lot of restaurants and cafes etc close at 8pm here so be mindful of this when planning.

Booked this hotel without expectations and turned out, a very nice hotel with excellent location for shopping and dining. It's clean and the cleaners do their jobs really well. The breakfast is ok, no wow factors to it but the dining staff were really nice. 4 stars as the reception staff weren't as friendly and helpful, can be improved. Also if you can include cotton pads as amenities.

The rooms are TINY. We stayed in the Hollywood room to accommodate my family and it was tight. Smallest room in all our trip. You are in the middle of town so it’s convenient but will definitely look elsewhere next visit. Friendly staff. We did the buffet for one morning and it was not worth the price in my opinion.

We reserved a room maximum for 5 people. At the time of booking, it was just 3 of us- 2 adults + 1 9-year old. Later on, another person joined us; so we’re total 4. I thought it should be ok. However, we were asked to book another room since my 9-year old is considered an adult, costing us double.

Great location in Kyoto but on a very busy street and facilities were basic. It was very noisy at night. We were woken by motorbikes racing down streets late in the night and early in the morning. Drunk guests made loads of noise too outside hotel, shouting and even screaming.
