Overview
Hotel Monterey Kyoto is a 327-room city hotel in central Kyoto, a 2-minute walk from Karasuma Oike subway station. On the top floor is Trinite, a natural onsen spa fed by hot spring water rising from underground, which staying guests may use free of charge. Children under school age co-sleep free of charge, up to one child per bed, and up to 3 cribs are available to borrow (reservation required, for a fee). The restaurant also takes orders for a kids' meal that comes with juice and dessert, making this a hotel that keeps families in mind as a base for sightseeing in Kyoto.
Rooms
Guest rooms come in a wide range of types: Standard Single (18 sq m), Superior Single, Semi-Double and Queen Double (20 sq m each), King Double (22 sq m), Standard Twin (22 sq m), Superior Twin (26 sq m) and Deluxe Corner Twin (46 sq m). There are also family rooms (38-50 sq m), though details such as bed configuration and maximum occupancy are not published, so please check with the hotel. The beds are made by Simmons, and the Standard Twin has two beds 120 cm wide. A Superior Twin can take one additional extra bed when used by 3 guests, and a Deluxe Corner Twin can take one additional extra bed for 3 guests or two for 4 guests. Children who have not yet started elementary school co-sleep free of charge, up to one child per bed. Children of elementary school age and older are charged the adult rate. Guest rooms are equipped with an air purifier with a humidifying function. There are 327 rooms in total.
Dining
Breakfast is a Japanese and Western buffet at JPY 4,000 per person, served from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., with last orders at 9:30 a.m. Elementary school children pay JPY 2,000, and children under school age eat free of charge. The Japanese restaurant Zuientei has a private room called Miyabi with sunken-floor (horigotatsu) seating (4 to 12 guests, with a minimum party of 4; separate private-room charge of JPY 10,000), as well as the private rooms Roumei with tables and chairs (10 to 30 guests; separate private-room charge of JPY 20,000) and Suimei (5 to 8 guests; separate private-room charge of JPY 15,000), both of which require a minimum party of 5. Smaller groups should note these party-size conditions, but the rooms work well for a family meal. The restaurant also takes orders for a kids' meal that comes with juice and dessert. Room service is not available.
Baths and Onsen
Trinite, the natural onsen spa on the top floor, uses natural hot spring water rising from underground, and staying guests may use it free of charge. It has an open-air bath, a main bath, a jacuzzi and a cold-water bath, along with a dry sauna for men and a mist sauna for women. Hours are from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m. (last admission 10:30 p.m.) and from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. (last admission 8:30 a.m.). However, children under 3 and children who are not yet out of diapers are asked to refrain from entering, so the onsen cannot be used when traveling with young children.
Family-Friendly Features
Children under school age co-sleep free of charge, up to one child per bed, and 3 cribs are available (reservation required; JPY 1,200 per crib). On the other hand, children under 3 and children who are not yet out of diapers are asked to refrain from using the top-floor natural onsen spa, so bathing in the onsen with a baby or toddler is not possible. There is no childcare service either, so please note that leaving children in care while going out during the day would be difficult. Some plans also include a benefit that extends the usual 11 a.m. checkout to 12 p.m.
