forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.67 out of 5 (13 reviews). Guests praise the communal bath, where towels are provided so you do not have to reuse your own, and are highly satisfied with the wide breakfast selection; both are reassuring points for families too. Several guests also found the staff kind. On the other hand, from breakfast time through checkout the hotel can be short-staffed, so be aware that there may be waits at the front desk and at the breakfast venue.

Overview
CHAPTER KYOTO, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel is a Marriott-group hotel on Kawaramachi-dori, a 4-minute walk from Kyoto Shiyakusho-mae Station. The guest rooms are tatami-floored spaces inspired by the traditional tea room, so you can take off your shoes and relax. Children are welcome to stay: co-sleeping is available for up to one child, and babies and toddlers who use neither meals nor bedding stay free of charge. The hotel also has a communal bath with a semi-open-air bath and a restaurant serving a buffet breakfast.
