Would be better if there was laundry as well. ##### Kevin Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Wiann 13 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very new and clean. A little longer to walk from the rain station though. Staffs are friendly n check in and check out is easy. Check out timing at 10am is a little earlier than most hotel, no laundry facilities is one downside of the hotel. ##### Wiann Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy 21 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pleasant hotel nice room Automatic check in out of hours which was a bit off a faff when tired, but worked fine. Great room and toiletries, no room service to tidy up for but clean towels every day. Reception had a shop open until 6pm and a microwave with cutlery etc. Staff were friendly and helpful when we checked out. Located near the main station and 15 min walk from the underground, 7-11 very close. ##### Wendy Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Graham 16 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Basic budget Kyoto hotel This is definintely a budget stay location. A short walk from the train station once you know where you are going. The rooms are smallish and basic and not that comfortable, although the automated access process may suit some travellers. Beds were a little form for our liking and the pillows insubstantial making the sleep quality not the best. The location is a little awkward from the station unless you get the right exit and it feels a little isolated to much of what is happening in Kyoto. ##### Graham Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 5 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Everything good except that if you’re check out at non-office hour, you cannot drop your luggage in the counter. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Norman 14 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property is in a quiet neighborhood situated only a few blocks from Kyoto Station. The entrance is small and looks like a small convenience store, and was a little hard to find. The staff saw us struggling and came to our aid. It was too early to check in so we stored our luggages which they later brought to our room. The hotel gave off vibes as a small family owned business with great service. The building feels new and the amenities were complete. It more than exceeded my expectations. I would stay again given the location, cleanliness, service and amenities. ##### Norman Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Madenn 5 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel is located a few blocks away from Kyoto station. It is very easy to find and there are multiple bus options around. Keep in mind that after a certain time in the evening there is no receptionist and you will need to check in via a tablet. There is no room key and they provide a code instead (to get into your room and the hotel after hours). There is a mini “store” on the first floor which you can purchase quick items while a receptionist is there. Overall a great experience. I would definitely book this hotel in the future. ##### Madenn Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chiew Xuan 10 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The only downside is they dont do cleaning on a daily basis unless you stay more than 4 days. Have to pack your own trash and put the towels outside in order to have fresh towels. 10-15minutes walk distance from the JR station. Need to key in password to enter at night hence it can he quite a hassle if you are stuck checking in after 6pm. No food or drinks in the vicinity if u need at night. Have to walk a distance in the cold to the nearest lawson which is 5-10mins away. ##### Chiew Xuan Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenny 27 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The light switch for the room should have been near the entrance of the room instead of near the bed. Toilet paper and tissue paper is too thin. It’s so difficult to use as you need to fold many many times in order get enough paper to use. Other than the above, the property is in a very convenient location, just about 10 mins walk from Kyoto station. It is very clean and has a reasonable price. Will come here again ##### Jenny Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Chun Sing 29 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel is more spacious than most Japanese hotel. The shower and toilet area is separated which I like tremendously. I was given a room at level 10 and it gives a good view of Kyoto tower & Kyoto station. There’s a small convenience stall in the checkin reception running from 9am-6pm. They are price quite affordably. Expedia website state the hotel will email me 5 days before my stay about checkin instructions but that didn’t happened. So you need to email the hotel to receive matters about checkin. Otherwise all things are good. ##### Chun Sing Stayed 11 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 6 Dec 2023 #### Nice stay but checkin was not easy The hotel looks new. The biggest problem I encountered was checking in. Not easy when I had to do it on my own after the receptionist had left for the day. After struggling for a while I got instructions via FaceTime/Zoom. Then I was asked to send a copy of my passport. I was shocked since I had done it two or three days prior. The hotel’s computer system was that slow? Other than that the stay was fine. The room was relatively good-size and the hotel is conveniently located. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### YONGJOON 9 Aug 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Worst hotel in Kyoto where I have ever stayed. 10 reasons why I do not recommend this hotel. 1) Room cleaning service: Only one day per a week. This is only available when you stay more than 1 week. It is only available on Monday and Friday. 2) Towels: Every day new towels except mat towel. Mat towel is provided only once per a week. 3) No front desk service: There is no front desk service in the early morning and evening time. 4) No bottled water: I think most of hotels provide 1\~2 bottles of water every day. But this hotel does not provide any water at all. 5) No luggage keeping service: This is very huge impact for travelers. I requseted my luggage keeping at front desk via online because nobody was at front dest. And a not Japanese and not english speaker showed up and he said that they does not provide luggage keeping service. And he said to me to use "Coin Locker" at the station. 6) entrance key: Entrance key is necessary after 6pm. But one night, it didn't work. I put my PW many times but I could not open the door. And I tried to call the service counter many times at out side of the hotel. I should try for 30\~40 munites to call and open the door at midnight. It took more around 40 minutes to enter the hotel that night. 7) Air conditioner: No automatic control. It works all the time. 8) Refrigerator: Not that cool enough. 9)No Razor, no toothbrush does not provide a razor, And no toothbrush provided(I had only one) 10)Bedclothes: Winter bedclothes in summer ##### YONGJOON Stayed 10 nights in Jul 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sanjo-Karasuma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Tokyu-Stay-Kyoto-Ryougaemachi-Dori-Sanjo-Karasuma.h18573474.Hotel-Information) > > [NISHIYAMA RYOKAN - Established in 1953](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-NISHIYAMA-RYOKAN.h3886831.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Shinmachi Bettei](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Shinmachi-Bettei.h7063739.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Hotel-Seiryu-Kyoto-Kiyomizu.h44931128.Hotel-Information) > > [SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-SOLARIA-Nishitetsu-Hotel-Kyoto-Premier.h17040479.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Gion Misen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Ethnography-Gion-Shinmonzen.h19071897.Hotel-Information) > > [Cross Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-CROSS-HOTEL-KYOTO.h27026975.Hotel-Information) > > [Ace Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Ace-Hotel-Kyoto.h45895767.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Hotel-Iconic-Kyoto.h67663093.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Kyoto.h74059283.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Hotel-Kyoto-Sanjo.h4538458.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Resol Kyoto Kawaramachi Sanjo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Resol-Kyoto-Kawaramachi-Sanjo.h21926337.Hotel-Information) > > [Noku Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Noku-Kyoto.h12714915.Hotel-Information) > > [Rihga Gran Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RIHGA-GRAN-KYOTO.h38953457.Hotel-Information) > > [Piece Hostel Sanjo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Piece-Hostel-Sanjo.h10435680.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel The Celestine Kyoto Gion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-THE-CELESTINE-KYOTO-GION.h17857390.Hotel-Information) > > [Nazuna Kyoto Gosho](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Nazuna-Kyoto-Gosho.h27637350.Hotel-Information) > > [Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-NOHGA-HOTEL-KIYOMIZU-KYOTO.h69673755.Hotel-Information) > > [Shizutetsu Hotel Prezio Kyoto-Shijo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Shizutetsu-Hotel-Prezio-Kyoto-Shijo.h36488271.Hotel-Information) > > [Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto - Kyoritsu Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kadensho.h34491269.Hotel-Information) > > [Sanco Inn Kyoto Hachijoguchi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Sanco-Inn-Kyoto-Hachijoguchi.h37752048.Hotel-Information) > > [Rinn Gion Kenninji](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Rinn-Gion-Kenninji.h27748251.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyo-machiya Stay WAKA Fushimiinari-tei](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyo-Machiya-Stay-WAKA-Fushimiinari-Tei.h12622986.Hotel-Information) > > [ANA Crowne Plaza Kyoto by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-ANA-Crowne-Plaza-Kyoto.h16384.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Okura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Hotel-Okura.h6621.Hotel-Information) > > [JR WEST GROUP VIA INN PRIME KYOTOEKI HACHIJOGUCHI](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Via-Inn-Kyoto-Station-Hachijoguchi.h33382855.Hotel-Information) > > [THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-GATE-HOTEL-KYOTO-TAKASEGAWA-By-HULIC.h46993133.Hotel-Information) > > [Hearton Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hearton-Hotel-Kyoto.h1452244.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Miyako Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Westin-Miyako-Kyoto.h878301.Hotel-Information) ---
