Check in was disorganized. Had to charge our credit card 3 times because the hotel host did not charge the right taxes two times. The floors and walls in the hotel were dirty and stained. My hotel room smelled like someone broke a bottle of cologne in it. In the hotel room it was loud from a busy street, I wished I would have read that in a review. Overall, this establishment is not up to par with the competition and quality of other hotels in the area for the same pricing.

The Staff Make It Special.

Friendly, helpful staff. Good size room. Loved the fact it had a hallway with sliding door to bedroom. We have travelled around Japan and out of 4 hotels this is the only one we could get netflix/youtube on. Which when yoj are travellingvjyst upu and an 11yr old is a blessing after 14 days on the road.

Breakfast was amazing. Lots of variety, across the nations.

Fridge and safe in room. Rain head shower along with handheld.

Good location with easy route to Nara and Golden Pavillion. Convenience stores opposite. We also ate in the chicken shop opposite. Food was good. They also do take out.

Free courtesy bus to train station.

Only small critisism is there is tea in the room but no coffee and no microwave for guests to use in the evening. Otherwise a perfect stay and would 100 percent book again if in Kyoto.

It is a very nice hotel with very welcoming staff.
The room was lovely,!spacious and very clean.
They provide shower gel , shampoo and conditioner and there’s 2 shower heads , the one with mist was so nice.
The blanket was super cozy but pillows a bit hard .

There is a train station only a couple of minutes away and combini across the street.
They also offer free transportation to Kyoto station.

The only down side for me was the music until late in the hallway which you didn’t hear once the siding door in the room was closed.

This hotel was a great value for the room and breakfast buffet provided. I was concerned I might regret choosing it, over the Doubletree next door, but ended up being happy with the decision. Nice way to experience a variety of Japanese foods for breakfast, also. Not in a happening part of Kyoto, but convenient to the stations that take you there.

This hotel was in an incredibly convenient location and I enjoyed my short stay there. There was more noise from the street than my previous hotel that was more nestled into the neighborhood. I'd say its a good budget hotel, but if you're looking for a luxurious hotel experience, this property is not for you.

My friend and I stayed at 3 different hotels while we were in Japan and Hotel Abest was our most favourite one - we would joke \"Hotel Abest is the best\". We liked the fact that the hotel was right in front of Kiyomizu-Gojo station, so it made travel around the city more easy. Also nice because it was only a 19-minute walk to Nishiki Market and 20-minute walk to the Gion area. There was a Lawson and Family Mart convenience store right across the street from us too. The staff were very polite and friendly and always greeted us when we would come and go through the lobby. I would stay here again if I came back to Kyoto :)

It was our favorite hotel of the trip (stayed @ 2 others). Staff was so nice and accommodating. Several spoke english perfectly which was helpful. Lawson and 7-11 across the street if you want an early morning coffee.

Right next to the Keihan Gojo Station with a Family Mart and 7-11 across the street. One subway stop or short cab ride away from Yasaka Shrine and Gion Street. Amenities include slippers, electric water kettle, mini fridge, bidet, facial cleaner and lotion, toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, hair brush, body scrub towel, and green tea. Free sample size sake between after 3pm. Coin operated all-in-one washer-dryer on the 1st floor. You need to run the dryer a few times before your clothes will fully dry. They do not provide house keeping, but if you leave your trash and towels outside your room before 11, they will empty and exchange them respectively. Bottled water was provided at check-in. The hotel is located on a big street so it can get a little noisy if you sleep by the window. My friend who slept by the wall side didn't hear any of the noise.

我入住的套房房價並不便宜，但是小廚房裏沒有任何餐具，櫃子全部都是空的，連一個碗碟或杯子都沒有，也沒有微波爐或烤箱；浴室的備品很奇怪，如果全部都沒有可以是環保的理由，但是卻有兩個刮鬍刀，兩把梳子和兩隻沒附牙膏的牙刷，不知道這是什麼組合？垃圾自己拿到走廊後也沒有補充一個垃圾袋，我覺得服務沒有到位；餐廳地板會黏鞋…但是免費接駁車很棒很準時。

Perfect location for sights and close to a subway station. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great firm beds and pretty quiet rooms (ours was towards back alley). Room was maybe a bit run down already, so that’s why one star out of clenliness, but definitely not anything super dirty. Breakfast was great opportunity to try out local food. Great value for the money!

場所が清水五条駅なので京都駅から1本ではいけないのが少し不便ですが、行きたいエリアが決まっていてシェアサイクルを使う私にはこの値段で泊まれるホテルは魅力です。
