Other than that hotel room and stay and good and convenient. ##### Unmesh Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Mark 23 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice and affordable hotel that's hard to find Location difficult to find without gps on your phone with data. Hotel was nice, but never received check in code so couldn't get in to the building without calling. Room was large for Japanese standards. No frills, 2 blocks from bus station. Not much in the area, but a 30 minute walk from everything that matters. ##### Mark Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What I liked: rooms were comfortable and clean, the site had complementary washers and dryers, staff was friendly What I didn’t like: staff was hard to find, never received an email with the code to get into the building so I had to use the help line. Overall I would stay here again, the area is nice and it was a good hotel ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 23 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness Promised items were not provided. The listing in Expedia wasn’t up-to-date as told by receptionist. So what you see is not what you get.

(1hours 30 minutes) . Horrible. There is nobody at the reception for this reason we didn't enter to the hotel. The phone outside nobody answere for a longtime then a guy opened the phone but he was not serious and as we were very tired we waited too much for checkin. be carefull to choose this hotel outside the recepitiom hours. You can be stay out of the hotel. ##### OKAN Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jacinto 8 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service So bad experience, I didn’t receive any email before I arrived and there was no one at the front office. I have tried to call them for 30 mins and there was no one answering the phone. Finally they answered the phone to let me check in. There was a couple coming after me and they happened the same thing, they tried calling them for an hour, NO ONE ANSWERED THE PHONE. ##### Jacinto Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Norman 10 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very nice modern hotel, with some minor negatives. Quite new hotel. Nicely appointed room. Unlike some of the Grand Japaning hotels in Kyoto, this one has a receptionist there every day -- from 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM. That's good because we never received the email that we were supposed to receive from the hotel's owners that gave us an entry code to get into the lobby to register. Nice that they have free washers and dryers and even free laundry detergent to use in the machine. Negatives: Directions for washer and dryer are only in Japanese; fortunately the receptionist speaks fluent English and was able to help us push the right buttons. Also, the dryer takes a very long time to dry clothes -- took about 1.5 hours to dry my load which included blue jeans. Rooms are quite small -- not much room to lay out suitcases. But there is lots of room under the wester-style beds to store luggage. Bathroom was adequate size, including a full-size sink, unlike some of the Grand Japaning hotels in Kyoto. Despite the minor negatives, I would stay here again. ##### Norman Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2019 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 26 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service No-staff model not easy to work through and NOT mentioned on the booking site or in confirmation docs. I never received the email with check-in information, a problem I’ve read in other reviews also. It was also necessary to contact (via the “help” phone outside the front entrance - which only connected to someone at a remote location) to get housekeeping performed. It turns our housekeeping is only done every 3rd day, which is acceptable if you are expecting it - but they don’t say which day it will be. In my case, housekeeping was only done twice in 9 days and included getting fresh towels. Not good. The place was good but the advance and ongoing communications were really inadequate. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 9 nights in Sep 2019 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 1 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pleasant Stay despite Hiccups This is a brand new hotel, location not easy to find(in a small lane), advise guests to ask staff at subway station for direction to get there. There was some hiccups upon chk-in due to high occupancy n that resulted in us not receiving the code via our email. However, there are staff there till 9pm to assist you through the chk-in. The reason we choose this Japaning hotel is becuz on its official site, it said tt it provides a Handy smartphone for guest to bring it out with you. This will ease language barrier for us to find our way using this Handy. However, to our disappointment, it wasn’t provided at all aft speaking long to someone on the phone even with our request to “borrow” one fm other Japaning hotels chain as we ve excluded data router for our trip becuz of supposed “Handy”. We didn’t find the staff helpful as there are plentiful of Japaning Hotels throughout Kyoto and for the rest of days in Kyoto, we tried hard to find our way around! Nevertheless, we must say tt the staff at the counter are genuinely helpful, trying to guide us the way to our sightseeing spots. We like their sincerity and this makes our trip pleasant. Laundry is free n this is a great plus point for travelers. I would recommend this hotel. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2019 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Giovanni 19 Mar 2026 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Non confortevole e sporca ##### Giovanni Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2026 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Giovanni 19 Mar 2026 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service Camera sporca piena di polvere all arrivo ho chiesto di pulire la camera mi hanno risposto che l avrebbero pulita il giorno successivo ma nulla dopo 4 giorni di soggiorno sono andato via con la camera ancora piena di polvere e sporca.

La zona dispone de supermercados cercanos al hotel que agradecimos mucho tener a mano. El personal agradable. Las instalaciones por lo general correctas, las habitaciones son limpias y acogedoras pero no estuvimos todo lo cómodos que en un principio esperamos ya que los colchones eran muy duros e incómodos, además en las ventanas no había una cortina que impida que entre la luz y nos despertaba al amanecer, lo cual interrumpía el descanso, pero por lo demás es correcto. ##### Gabriel Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Yuzuya Ryokan - Adult Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Yuzuya-Ryokan.h20931679.Hotel-Information) > - [M’s Hotel Sanjo Omiya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Ms-INN-SANJO-OMIYA.h39604744.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel The Celestine Kyoto Gion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-THE-CELESTINE-KYOTO-GION.h17857390.Hotel-Information) > - [SOWAKA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel-SOWAKA.h27267482.Hotel-Information) > - [La'gent Hotel Kyoto Nijo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Lagent-Hotel-Kyoto-Nijo.h88182560.Hotel-Information) > - [THE MACHIYA Kamiumeya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-MACHIYA-Kamiumeya.h29070851.Hotel-Information) > - [Dhawa Yura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Yura-Hotel-MGallery.h34865507.Hotel-Information) > - [Royal Twin Hotel Kyoto Hachijoguchi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Royal-Twin-Hotel-Kyoto.h41924656.Hotel-Information) > - [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sanjo-Karasuma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Tokyu-Stay-Kyoto-Ryougaemachi-Dori-Sanjo-Karasuma.h18573474.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Okura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Hotel-Okura.h6621.Hotel-Information) > - [TASSEL HOTEL Sanjo Shirakawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-TASSEL-HOTEL-SANJYO-SHIRAKAWA.h40139654.Hotel-Information) > - [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sakaiza Shijo-Kawaramachi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-TOKYU-STAY-KYOTO-SHIN-KYOGOKU-DORI.h27557574.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel The M’s Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-The-Ms-Kyoto.h61628354.Hotel-Information) > - [The Hedistar Hotel Kyoto Nijo Comic&Books](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Hedistar-Hotel-Kyoto-Nijo.h24976165.Hotel-Information) > - [Park Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Park-Hotel-Kyoto.h63870432.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Resol Kyoto Kawaramachi Sanjo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Resol-Kyoto-Kawaramachi-Sanjo.h21926337.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Southwold](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southwold-Hotels.d553248628305045644.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-GATE-HOTEL-KYOTO-TAKASEGAWA-By-HULIC.h46993133.Hotel-Information) > - [THE GENERAL KYOTO Shijyo Shinmachi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-GENERAL-KYOTO-ShijyoShinmachi.h89799984.Hotel-Information) > - [KOKO HOTEL Residence Kyoto Nijo Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-KOKO-HOEL-Residence-Kyoto-Nijo-Castle.h109921765.Hotel-Information) > - [Hiyori Stay Kyoto Kamogawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Suite-Kyoto-Kamogawa-Shomen.h100205202.Hotel-Information) > - [Candeo Hotels Kyoto Karasuma Rokkaku](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Candeo-Hotels-Kyoto-Karasuma-Rokkaku.h64609188.Hotel-Information) > - [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Sanjo-PREMIER.h101206013.Hotel-Information) > - [THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-HOTEL-HIGASHIYAMA-By-KyotoTokyuHotel.h71549946.Hotel-Information) > - [OMO5 Kyoto Sanjo by Hoshino Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-OMO5-Kyoto-Sanjo-By-Hoshino-Resorts.h77089647.Hotel-Information) > - [Kyoto Traditional Machiya House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Traditional-Machiya-House.h17940263.Hotel-Information) > - [Villas Marbella](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marbella-Villas.d5776-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Hotel ZIZI Kyoto Gion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Zizi.h37754813.Hotel-Information) ---
