This is a small quiet hotel with clean comfortable rooms with a relaxing decor. Very friendly and helpful staff and if you reserve in advance you can get a private lovely breakfast. Close to subway and bus stations and in a nice neighborhood. As pictured, our room was fairly dark (& we like dim light), but that added to the charm.
Highly recommended!

We later room, it was smaller spacious than we thought period the location was great , the staff was hid or miss in some areas, exceptionally nice such as Diego and some very rude like the male white person who was very tight and would not provide more bathroom SOAP or coffee creamer was also not easily accessible
however, overall we enjoyed our room and amenities, and most of the staff was very kind and courteous period it was so nice that they provided us with fresh water every day bottled
the tub was a very nice size and made out of real stone which was beautiful and grounding
the room is very dark and on the Dem side, much darker than the photos posted from most of the rooms in their catalogue period, very walkable, right across from the temple

The staff was not as friendly as other hotels we stayed at. Wouldn’t change the timing for breakfast and the last day when they did the manager came to tell us they ‘usually don’t do this’. The breakfast was annoying as there was no option except for change in juice and soup so same thing every morning for 4 days was quite annoying. Mind you the breakfast area was not at all crowded and they could’ve easily given us breakfast at a later time as requested.
The room also had a funny smell.

Stay at hotel
Great customer service, very friendly staff. We had shipped our luggage from Tokyo - when we arrived for check-in, the luggage had already been brought up into our room - amazing! Check-in was very smooth - we were served tea, presented with a video to watch on the hotel and provided with tags to ship our baggage to the next hotel. We really enjoyed talked to Is (Isaac) who coincidentally had studied in the same city/country (Toronto/Richmond Hill/Canada) we're from - hopefully one day we'll be able to meet there!

Great service, but rooms are dark
I’m torn a bit about this property. It has a great location across from Niko Castle and really close to the Nijojo-mae Station so it makes getting around easy. The staff is great and the place is nice and clean. My only complaint is that there was a serious lack of adequately bright lighting. There are plenty of light sources, but they’re all like 20 watt bulbs. Everything was dim, especially the bathroom. It was to the point where I was having difficulty shaving. Aside from that I enjoyed my stay there.

My girlfriend and I recently stayed at the Canata Hotel in Kyoto and had an overall wonderful experience. The hotel offered an excellent atmosphere and great service throughout our stay.
The amenities and facilities were top-notch, and we thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance of the hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making our stay even more pleasant.
However, the only downside we encountered was the lighting in the room, which was quite dim. It made it a bit challenging to navigate comfortably in the evenings.
Nevertheless, everything else about our stay was fantastic. The location was convenient, the service was impeccable, and the hotel's ambiance was charming.
Overall, the Canata Hotel provided a lovely experience, and we would recommend it to others visiting Kyoto."

The Canata staff is very professional and friendly. They even brought my charger to me at the next hotel when I forgot it in my room. The rooms small and beautiful. There are several light switches so you have to figure out where they all are to turn them off at night. The bar was not open during our stay, but it looks very nice.

A ÉVITER .
Hôtel minimaliste avec 15 chambres .
Nous avion réservé 3 chambres .
Éclairage des chambres blafard.
Aucun petit déjeuner d’offert . Aucun café dans les environs . Le seul à côté ouvre à 10 h . Véritable problème. Personnel intransigeant. Ma réservation fut pour 6 nuits . J’ai voulu partir une nuit plus tôt. L’hôtel a refusé catégoriquement prétextant que je les aient informé 6 jours avant alors que leur règlement prévoit 7 jours . Aucune sympathie et aucun effort de compromis . Personnel pas agréable !

A very stylish hotel with a nice bar for dirnks in the afternoon or night time. We stayed in the suite and the room is spacious with a nice jazucci facing the entrance of the castle. I agree with some of the comments that that lighting is quite dim inside the room and it will be desirable to have an few extra lambs. Other that that i am generally satisifed with the price compared to other hotels in the same vicinity.
