Spacious and clean rooms, modern hotel close to easy transportation. The breakfast is not served in the actual hotel but a nearby establishment, that selection was a bit limited so keep that in mind if you want a la carte options those are not included.

Nice room, a tad dusty. The windowsill and lamp had noticeable dust on them. Hotel staff was nice enough, didn't interact much with them. It was in a very narrow alley that was a little sketch when a car would come through and you're walking. A walk to the train station/bus stops.

Travelodge was a comfortable stay and worth its value. We had some trouble with the dryer on the second floor. Despite paying for 3 rounds, our clothes were still very damp

However the property was very clean and well maintained otherwise! Staff were kind, welcoming, and accommodating

I like the location. Other than that, I guess I would prefer other hotels. Rooms was small. I had to twist my body every time I got through the beds. Even though the room was clean, not sure why there were so many bugs in there. I found bugs on the wall and bathroom.

Rooms are very Tiny, best for solo travelers. AC does not work well, our room smelled of stinky feet,humid and musty. Washer dryers are very small as well,dryers do not dry until the 3rd, 4th try, have plenty of yens on hand. Although, we were able to leave our luggage free of charge to explore other places and eat while waiting to check in. We also did the same for checking out which is a Great convenience while traveling to different cities and hotels.

We knew the rooms would be tiny so that didn’t come as a surprise - very typical anywhere in Japan. It was very difficult to move around in there (2 adults & a teen), however, (in cuadruple rooms). The bathrooms smelled awful (sewage) and the tubs did not drain quickly enough during showers, so feet were submerged in wash water through showers. TVs, ledges, coffee table surface areas were very dusty. The hotel has 2 washers/dryers (2nd floor) and they are extremely loud & disturbed sleep. The dryer left clothes damp & with an off, musty smell. The location itself was great, a quick 5-6 minute walk to a train station & a 7/11 right around the corner. Staff was nice.

Good in terms of location, amenities... and more!

Travelodge is a budget hotel chain with a reputation for a nice place to stay, albeit with notoriously hard beds, and this was exactly the case in Kyoto.

So, yes, the beds aren't great and not really conducive to a great night's sleep, but everything else about this place is great! The rooms are spacious, well-decorated and even contain a little sofa for you to sit on while you watch the TV. There is plenty of room to breathe, The en-suite bathrooms are relatively accessible and easy to operate,

The hotel itself provides a breakfast buffet (for a price) and coin-operated laundry machines which really help the lightly-packed traveller. Of course there are drink vending machines nearby and in the hotel itself, but the hotel does provide free hot drinks in the rooms, like they do in the West.

In terms of location, the hotel itself is within walking distance of a main road with links to the Kyoto bus network; I would personally recommend getting a taxi to the hotel after hours, but that's not a necessity. Whether you're a tourist wanting to \"do\" Kyoto or just a gamer looking for a place to shoot videos, this is the hotel for you, at a very reasonable price. It's nothing exceptional... but it's certainly got everything you need!

The room itself was nice and comfortable. The only downside was the pillows—they were lumpy and hard, which made it tough to get a good night’s sleep. Other than that, everything else was great!

Overall, our stay at Travelodge Kyoto Shijo Omiya was good. The front desk staff were helpful upon arrival and stored our luggage for us since we arrived prior to check-in time. The room was small but that's pretty typical in Japan. We brought 1 large suitcase and 2 smaller suitcases and we were able to open up all 3 suitcases at the same time when using the area by the entrance.

The bed was comfortable, there was a large desk, and mini fridge in the room. We found the washroom quite small and it smelled very musty. We also used the laundry services but the dryer was terrible. We ran our cycle a few times in the dryer and still had to hang dry all of our clothes. If it wasn't for the musty smell and poor laundry machines, we'd give the hotel a higher rating.

Overall, the hotel was walkable to major areas such as Nishiki Market and Gion (about 20 min) or just a few min walk to train stations and a short ride away.

Great Stay with a Few Minor Issues

I recently stayed at this hotel in Kyoto, and overall, I had a pleasant experience. The room was notably larger than the one I stayed in while in Tokyo, which was a nice surprise and made the stay more comfortable. The hotel offers all the amenities you could need, including a washing machine and tumble dryer, which I found particularly useful during my stay.

However, the cleaning could have been better. I noticed some hair on the walls of the toilet, which was a bit off-putting. Aside from that, everything else was great, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. If they improve the cleaning standards, this place would be near perfect.

I stayed here for a couple nights and it was a great experience overall, with terrific value. The location is excellent, easy to get around by bus from the hotel. The front desk staff is very courteous, even if their English skills are somewhat limited. My room was near perfect (as a solo traveler) - good AC, nice bedding, very clean. There's only a handful of Japanese channels on TV, but it's a smart device with Netflix, Youtube, etc. The wifi isn't too fast, but adequate for basic things. Other amenities include an ice machine, laundry room, and a communal microwave. My room had glasses, mugs, an electric kettle, slippers and a mini-fridge.
