Enjoyed both - public bath and sauna, everything is super clean and nice.
Good value for money, would recommend the hotel to my friends and gladly stay once more visiting Kyoto next time
The standard check-out time is 2pm, which is pretty rare in my experience 👍

Spacious room with huge window, modern tv that shows the status of washing machines even. The washing machine was really convenient and dried well all in one go.

The washing machine was really convenient and dried well all in one go.
The sauna was a bit too cool for me, but the bath was awesome. The access to bath/sauna is swapped between men/woman everyday so for one night stand you won’t be able to experience both. They are tattoo friendly.

sequence KYOTO GOJO was very well located, minutes from a metro, walking distance to just about everywhere including some fantastic restaurants. Room was immaculate and very comfortable. Both the Onsen and Sauna were beautiful - a quality hotel.

The location was great—just a 10-minute walk to Nishiki Market and the Samurai Museum, and about 25 minutes on foot to Gion and the Pontocho area. The famous Ninenzaka and Kiyomizudera area is also easily accessible with a short 15-20 minute bike ride. Plus, the hotel provides bike parking, making it convenient to explore Kyoto.

The location was great—just a 10-minute walk to Nishiki Market and the Samurai Museum, and about 25 minutes on foot to Gion and the Pontocho area. The famous Ninenzaka and Kiyomizudera area is also easily accessible with a short 15-20 minute bike ride. Plus, the hotel provides bike parking, making it convenient to explore Kyoto.

The bath and sauna area was another highlight: very new, clean, and incredibly relaxing. They are separated for men and women, with access alternating each day between the bath and the sauna, allowing guests to enjoy both experiences during their stay. I also loved that they provide everything you might need for a comfortable stay, including pyjamas, slippers, and a full set of toiletries.

What could be improved: The breakfast was quite disappointing, as it didn’t reflect the usual high standards of Japanese cuisine. While there was a good quantity and a mix of Western and Japanese options, the quality didn’t seem to be the priority. Unlike typical Japanese meals, where you want to finish everything, this one felt underwhelming.
Additionally, the check-in time is quite late at 5 PM, which might be inconvenient for some travelers. However, they do offer lockers where you can securely store your luggage until check-in, which is a helpful service.

They have a bath and sauna available, they alternate the days by gender. Breakfast buffet is nice. Free evening drinks per person were offered. Free umbrellas for use on rainy days. We ate an evening meal at their restaurant which was delicious. They have secure luggage storage as well.
