Ace Hotel Kyoto puts you in a great location, within a short 10-minute walk of Shijo Street and Nishiki Market. After visiting the 24-hour fitness centre for a workout, you can grab a bite to eat at the coffee shop/cafe or unwind with a drink at the bar/lounge. Free bike rentals and a garden are other highlights. Fellow travellers like that it's only a short walk to public transportation: Karasuma Oike Station is steps away and Marutamachi Station is 9 minutes.

Ace Hotel is in a great central location. It is a beautiful hotel. The historic rooms are the best by far. We loved the adjacent outdoor mall that had cute shops and great food offerings.
