What people say

Excellent central location in Gion. The taxi driver from Kyoto station was not familiar with the hotel or its location. When drivers don't know a destination, they can locate it by calling the hotel so make sure you have the phone number handy. Unfortunately, my driver mistook the hotel's postal code for a phone number, but after a few minutes of confusion, he made another call to dispatch (I assume) and was directed to the hotel. He was polite and courteous the whole time. Yasaka Shrine is a b.
all reviews » Location is key to this hotel. It was central to what we wanted to see in kyoto for a day and a half. We were right beside the shoping district district full of restaurants, cafes, and all the different products of kyoto as well as the branded names. Then to the east side of the hotel are the different temples and the feel of ancient japan with a walk in narrow streets full of restaurants, shops, cafes, ets which lead to different temples in the area. For first timers with limited time there, t. We booked a room for three adults - there were two separate beds and an extra bed but since the room was enormously spacious, we had plenty of space. The (Japanese style) bathroom was amazingly huge, almost another room in itself. There was a bath with jacuzzi, and a shower as in a Japanese onsen. This was definitely the best room in Japan we've stayed in. The location is perfect - walking distance to Gion and other sights, a bus stop is only 100 meters away. Breakfast buffet was OK but could b. The location was simply perfect. Two major avenues, maybe 4-5 temples at the back. And countless shops at the back. For anyone staying there, please dont miss this teahouse at the back, rakusho, 517 Washio-chio Kodaiji, Kitamonzen, Higashimaya-ku...I Found my soul there...you will want to go early or else you'll be subjected to being hypnotized by a pocket garden with 2-3 mini waterfalls, and kois that seem to bedazzle you with their beauty while waiting. Unlike gardens in temples, this one fee. Comfortable beds and a massage chair in a spacious and clean quadruple family room that comes with a big bathroom with a good shower and a big tub. Right in Gion within walking distance to the geisha area and the main shopping street with all the shops and restaurants. Walking distance too to the meandering cobbled streets lined with little shops that can lead to Kiyomizu-dera, a UNESCO heritage site. Bus stops within minutes' walk, absolutely no problem for anyone who travels from Tokyo by tra. Spacious room, quiet, clean, friendly and helpful staff. I felt safe as houses! I liked the breakfast in the Japanese style, where I first tried natto. Hotel location great for independent travelers! You can see historical monuments and visit Gion, buy souvenirs at Shijo-dori. Near bus stop and metro station. Just enough to get anywhere in the city.I am happy to stay at this hotel again! Irina Novikova, Krasnodar, Russia. Location location location! Best ever!

Huge beds and spacious room, nice view, very good location but still calm. Very good location near gion and beautiful temples in the east of kyoto. location is great, the room is much bigger than i thought!. Good location! very convenient to everywhere. Large Room. - The location - The staffs - Size of the room. Would have been better if staff knew a little english. Especially if time is of essence because when trying to get directions, its very important for someone to give you even a little directions. The receptionists speak only limited English; it's usually not a big deal since they are very helpful but it may create some misunderstandings. Also, the information about the hotel and the room equipment was available in Japanese only which is not very helpful if you do not know how to read Japanese. The only problem I had was one of the bed was in a slanted position because of the wall. It made the room look and feel smaller... Nothing actually!. Staff was not always very friendly, depending on who was there. Some don't speak english very well (which is rather common in Japan however). Only after speaking some words in Japanese they opened up... In the corridor some music is playing and you can hear that in the room sometimes. (At night this is stopped however!!). Suprisingly enough the rooms not not have wardrobes or any other places to keep clothes in but only a rail with a few hangers on it. none. Can't think of a thing. None. Internet connection worked from time to time. Sometimes I couldn't connect even by cable! The problem occured the day we moved in. Personnel did something (rebooted the system?) and connection was restored, but in a few hours connection was lost again. Nothing. Nothing. When we first made the reservation on letsbookhotel.com, we were booked in at $200 per night for 3 of us. That was an excellent rate for this hotel. But then I changed the date by a day and didn't notice that the daily rate went up to $400 a day for that extra day!. The room was poorly insulated, so you would hear all those cars buzzing by when you're trying to sleep, which is very annoying. Had it not been for that, the hotel would have been excellent value for the money. The music a the corredor. It is always the same. Nothing. For European guests black tea would be better than green. That was the only fault we could find. Staff spoke very little English, but were very helpful. the music in the lobby and reception, it was not really necessary!. Much dust under the beds, that probably were not moved for a long time. This is strange beacuse, apart from that, cleanliness was flawless. I prefer softer bed and pillow. Need hooks in the bathroom. Down comforters too thick for summer. Had to keep aircon blasting to sleep. Need crem and sugar for coffee. More than one pillow per person would be nice. Sone drawers too. Noise from the street. There's a musical tune constantly playing that follows you through the hotel. It's kinda like being in a video game but it will drive you proper insane. only if the staff speaks better English~. Nothing. Food around Gion is expensive, and most staff can barely speak English. Nothing. a little bit noise at midnight. If the staff can spead better English.
