Inns in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

This hostel it is clean, good location, even if you are 2 km from main popular street is easy to get around. The issues: you can’t really sleep here if u get snoring people as ur neighbors rooms. I ve booked 7 days but I had to cancel the lasts 2 because was really hard to sleep and I was having only ~4h sleeping. And at 7/8 am people are already moving and waking up and because of the isolation of the ceiling(pic) is very easy to hear absolutely anything, any little move. In the first night staying here, after a person snoring so much until 2 am , it woke up go toilet and after it put reels on big volume at more than 2 am, I had to go all the way to knock at his door bcz I imagine it was a guy. The single issue with the mixed floor is this, if you put a girl with only men and they snoring, that girl can’t have any good sleep, if u put only girls and some men but they snoring, all girls will get mad bcz I wasn’t the single one after the first day. In the last night the snoring man wasn’t in the room anymore and they were more girls I ve heard. So if this hostel wants to make a mixed floor then I think they can think of putting only young people with young people and older people with older. Or maybe only 1 floor women and another men and the rest floor mixed idk. They can think of something. Also , there is water dispenser only at 5 th floor! Why they don’t have one next to reception? All the people from down have to climb all the stairs for a glass of water everyday until 5th? And there is the sharing space only at 5th floor where is the water too but again, a person that needs to talk to phone and to not destroy other peace , has to go or outside the hostel or in toilets or at 5th floor… it is a bit of a struggle these things. And for the double rooms u can put a small electric kettle for morning coffee I think and a glass and a spoon. To not get all the way up to 5th floor, if it wasn’t complicated to get all the way up I would have gone to make coffee there too but I tried one morning when I was still not awake and it was a bit of a struggle. That’s all. Oh. And the beds are really comfortable and very soft, too bad I couldn’t enjoy a good sleep in them. And after I canceled the lasts 2 days I didn’t receive back the city tax:)) is not big money at all but details makes the difference.

The hotel's environment and facilities are very good, the breakfast is delicious, the room is comfortable, and it will be used again. The front desk service has nothing to say, very patient and enthusiastic.

I had a great stay at this hotel. The room was larger than expected and well designed, with automatic lighting, a very nice bathroom, and a cozy raised Japanese-style area. The room was very clean, visually pleasing, and the air conditioning worked well throughout the stay. The location was also excellent, with the hotel just a short walk from Kyoto Station. Being in the city center made it easy to get around, even without using public transportation.

The reception was very warm; there was even a Russian-speaking staff member who gave us detailed information about the hotel's surroundings. Thanks to him, we were able to find perhaps the best cento of our trip. The room's downsides included the windows not opening, the combined bathroom and shower, and short blankets. The room's advantages included power outlets by the bed.

Friendly service, attendant helped us figure out how to use the stove, nice large room with solid space to put luggage. Decently spacious bathroom. Would be nice if they provided more utensils in the room 1 pair of chopsticks and a single fork is a little limiting. The Japanese beds can be easily folded up to give a serious amount of floor space. Located 50m away from a bus stop is pretty sweet and also directly across the road is a massive grocery/pharmacy store, very much able ro save some money and cook your own meals if need be on top avoiding the konbini prices. Also 100m from a 7/11 so easy access to an atm. Really great deal, we ended up cooking a wicked yakiniku in the room for bargain end of day closing prices on the meat ( photo attached

Kyoto was the main stop on this trip, so I had high expectations for this hotel in Omiya. It's about a 10-minute walk from Kyoto's most prosperous Shijo shopping street, which isn't too close, but still very convenient. There are bus stops and subway stations nearby, so getting around is still very convenient. However, if you want to avoid walking, it's best to book a room in Shijo. There's free housekeeping once every three nights, but we didn't tell the front desk before 8 p.m. one night in advance, so we didn't use it. The toothbrush was very difficult to use, much worse than the hotel in Nagoya.

The reception lady was very warm and thoughtful. She personally took me into the room and taught me how to use some facilities. I booked the cheapest room with a public bathroom, but I was given a private bathroom, which was a pleasant surprise. The room was very large and divided into three areas: bathroom, lobby, and bedroom. I stayed there for two days, and it was not like other Japanese hotels that didn't clean. The bedding in the bedroom was very clean and I slept very comfortably. Their bath and shampoo sets were from the DHC brand. On the day of check-out, the lady bowed again to say goodbye. The Japanese service spirit was very useful to me as a foreigner.

In short, I redeemed the Ctrip voucher for accommodation, so the price/performance ratio is very high. The advantage is that it is very close to Kiyomizu Temple and Kamogawa River. It is very convenient to walk. The check-in front desk staff can provide Chinese services and communication is easy. The room is large and the hygiene is OK. The bathroom is separated from wet and dry, and drinking water and other facilities are complete. The disadvantage is that there is noise interference in the room. The soundproofing of the building is poor. The air conditioner's outdoor unit will be louder. When it rains, there will be noise when rainwater drips onto the ceiling next to it. If you are a light sleeper, there may be various noise interference.

I asked for a promise to pay an additional fee for three people, but I was troubled because there were no amenities, beds, etc. When I checked to the front desk, I was half laughing and said, ”my side is no problem”. As a result, I did not pay additional fees, but the request did not pass. I learned that it would be better to check again a week ago. It was good as information before interior. Thank you.
