Lonely Planet review

Just opposite Nijo-jo Castle, this attractive hotel is a decent choice for its on-site facilities (pool, restaurants, shopping). With a subway stop right nearby, it's also convenient for sightseeing in other parts of the city.Part of a famous Japanese chain, the ANA is a large international hotel located right in front of Kyoto's famous Nijo-jo Castle. As you enter, you will be greeted by kimono-clad staff - a nice touch indeed. Despite its rather typical international hotel design, a valiant attempt is made to add a touch of Kyoto to the surroundings - including a karesansui (stone and gravel garden) on the roof of the second floor (visible from all upper floors). Rooms are typical for a hotel of this class. Other facilities include a daiyokujo (large common bath), swimming pool and sauna. Request a room on the west side, to enjoy views over the castle.
