El peor hotel en el que me he alojado en Japon. La primera impresion que da es de un hotel sucio y descuidado, y el tamaño es demasiado pequeño que no te da espacio ni para poder secarte en el baño. Lo peor de todo es que te dan la opcion de colocar un sticker para que te limpien la habitacion caso contrario te regalan 1 botella de agua, las dos noches que estuve puse que me limpiaran la habitacion y no tendieron la cama ni limpiaron nada, solo cambiaron las toallas. Sumando que todo se escucha de las otras habitaciones, este hotel da una malisima experiencia. Es preferible no considerarlo como opcion.

I enjoyed the food and generally, the staff was nice and professional. However, I was concerned and am still concerned about two main points of their service.

One, I wanted to check in my cash and room key at the front desk. This was listed as a requirement. But the first time I did this, the front desk didn't do it properly (marking the bag with a tag #). I mentioned this to a different front desk staff and she deeply apologized for the occurrence and explained to us the proper protocol. For that, I am very grateful, but I am still very disappointed.

Second, the bathroom was very small for both me and my adult child. For reference, when sitting on the toilet, my knees were touching the door/wall and I am 5'5. My adult child is 5'2 and their knees were very close to touching the wall. So for anyone considered tall, I suggest asking the staff for proper accommodations in this particular matter.

In walking distance from Kyoto station. You can leave your luggage at the reception if needed. Wi-fi was good.
First day the breakfast was very varied but only Japanese food was served. Next day some western food was added. Nice experience.
As downside the room should be mentioned - super small with A/C over the bed. WC is a capsule added to the room with minimal space to move.
In the room you feel you are on the International space station, two people plus luggage is too much for the space available.

Just the business

Perfectly adequate 'business' hotel close to Kyoto station.
Rooms are split between main building (older) and annex (newer). Mine in the main building was worn but clean. It's Japan, side is a premium, but this wasn't to bad although double bed against wall will not suit everyone.
Bathroom is slightly strange as it is a performed 'pod'. You need to step up into the bathroom, and when you're in things are a little compact - and avocado! But everything works fine. The extractor fan in mine didn't turn off, but barely audible with door shut.
Breakfast is early (6.30-9.30), but good buffet. Perhaps focused on Japanese cuisine rather than Western, but something for everyone - except fruit which is a shame.
Reception very friendly and all had excellent English. Lend if umbrella on rainy day.
There is no lounge or communal area. There is a communal spa bath (but in annex so you have to wander through reception in your gown), but it is just a bath nothing to get excited about.
Easy to get to from station (cut through aeon mall if hot or rainy). Fairly isolated apart from that (Kyoto town is North of station). Exception is the local temple which I think is one of the best and other easily missed. Well worth a visit, especially at night.
Checkout is 10am, quite early!

This hotel is made for ants and is tiny. We waited 3 hours to check-in to find we could barely fit two people in the room. Not feasible by any means. They should update their website- no bar or lounge and the spa is in a different building. They should express the size of rooms and location.

Good location, but very VERY budget

Very convenient location, walking distance to Kyoto Stn and Toji Stn. Fantastic Aeon Mall across the street with everything you could want + supermarket! Good staff.

If you are on a budget and will be only sleeping at the hotel, this place is perfect. The hotel looks a bit grim and dated to the 1970s, definitely NOT for relaxing. Carpets, wallpaper, lampshades are covered in decades of grit and grime. Gross.

Breakfast room is packed, hot, HUMID. Not much in the way of fruits or vegetables, but lots of variety. Fantastic spread compared to other Japanese hotel offerings.

Just enough for a short stay -close to everything

Good for a short budget stay when you want to spend more time out and about then on a fancy room. Conveniently located close to Kyoto station (about 10/15 minutes carting luggage) and also a nice shopping mall with a grocery store across the road. Staff were friendly and you could leave your luggage if arriving early before check in, a few guesthouses did not have that option. The maximum for us would be 2 nights as the bed was just too hard for my neck, may be ok for others. There was just enough room to fit and pack our luggage. It was very cosy in size which was ok for our needs. A couple of negative points- Had to hold the tub shower cord as it would point straight to the wall when in the holder which was kind of annoying when you just wanted to have a relaxing warm shower after walking all day. We had a non smoking room, but was a little stuffy and it had a slight stale cigarette smell, you can open the windows to let in some fresh air (when not cold and rainy). Robes and slippers provided however was a little put off by the black hair on one of the robes.. Would also be nice if the breakfast had a little more variety, didn’t see any western choices (toast). Again overall experience was ok when you want to spend more on exploring Kyoto and have a room with basic comforts/needs.

Free breakfast and close to Kyoto station

Kyoto Plaza Hotel is about a 5-10 minute walk to Kyoto station. There is also a mall right across the street for your leisure and also your basic needs. You can also walk through the mall to get to the subway station (helpful during the winter).

They offer public bathrooms (separated by gender) if youd like to go for a bath. If you feel uncomfortable going to the public baths, you do have your own bathroom in your hotel room. They offer free breakfast in the mornings which were pretty good. The bed was a little hard but we were able to sleep through the night okay. The elevators are not sensored so sometimes they might close on you if you take too long to get on/off (just a heads up!)

Overall, it was a decent hotel experience. I especially like that Kyoto station is in close proximity and the breakfast was good! I would recommend bringing 1 luggage per person since the rooms are pretty small.

Enjoy Kyoto sights even if sleep was uncomfortable

The hotel is at a good location, near a large mall, where you can get groceries, do shopping, have coffee at a large Starbucks and many choices of restaurants. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The double room was like a single room with a very compact bathroom and tiny wardrobe space; the bed was uncomfortable with a hard mattress and small pillows, though there are bigger pillows available at the lobby. It was cleaned daily. Breakfast was good, especially hearty for locals with juice and good coffee.
