The staff treated us like VIP the moment we got out of the taxi and checked in. The check-in staff served us matcha and very fresh mochi confectionaries. The concierge, Yumi, in particular, went above and beyond to help us arrange our bullet train transportation after our stay to make our upcoming journey as seamless as possible. We could not be more grateful for her assistance. Our Grand Serenity room was beautiful. We appreciated the additional treats that were provided during turn down service. We also loved the essential oil selections to enhance the smell of our room. The bed in our room was the most comfortable we had on our 2 week trip in Asia. My husband and I felt like we were in zen heaven during our entire stay. The complimentary Japanese kaiseki breakfast at the onsite restaurant Ryozen was also a treat!

A gem perfectly placed along a bamboo forest

My favorite part of my 21 day journey was Kyoto and the Banyan Tree Higashiyama. The hotel was perfectly located and the check in was enjoyable. My room was stunning and a wonderful refuge after spending the day waking and hiking around the sacred temples of Kyoto. I liked how I could customize my room with the screens and the different lighting options in the room. Breakfast was perfectly presented each morning.

This is a newer hotel. The location is a little difficult for walking to or from- taxis do not come by so we had to walk down to them each time. Think they havenโ€™t found this hotel in the map yet. Room was lovely with fabulous views. The staff was what brought our rating of this hotel down, from the minute we arrived we felt unwelcome and staff was spotty the entire stay. I could say more, but we stayed at 2 other hotels during our visit to Kyoto and their service was impeccable. This hotel, from a service prospective, was far from a 5 star experience; or an experiences weโ€™ve had at other Banyan properties
