Hotel berhampiran Takashimaya (Kyoto Store) di Kyoto

Hotel in an excellent location to the main train station. Our room was good size and clean. I would have given it a 4.5 instead for service. I didn’t use the cleaning room service because it was not necessary for 2 nights but getting the extra day amenities was slightly challenging at the Front Desk. Eventually it was provided (after1/2hr) but not as smoothly as the Hotel Metropolitan in Tokyo Ikebukuro.

I am absolutely glad we booked this hotel. The main reason we booked this is because there is a washer/dryer in every room. We booked the family room and they are all located at the Anex building. The main building and Anex building are seperated by about 3 blocks. It is just a few seconds walk from the main building to the Anex building. There are no hotel staffs stationed at the Anex building though, so if you need assistance you need to phone them or walk to the main building. There are free coffee machine, tea, ice, hot water and various amenities located at the lobbies of both building. The location of this hotel is a short 5mins walk to the subway station and a 2mins walk to 7-11 convenient storeand 6mins walk to McDonald's and Lawson convenient store. The hotel is beautifully furnished with modern touch to the rustic buidling of Kyoto. The family room that we chose consist of Futons and Modern Beds. There is a humidifier in the room Shower water pressure is very strong Wifi signals are fantastic. TV is at least 46 inch wide Multiple charging ports available even at the headboard section of the beds. Just like other hotels in Japan, you need to stay over a certain number of nights for them to do daily house keeping. However, they do provide changing of towels Daily as long as you stick the magnet label outside your room door before you head off for the day. They just dont make your bed or wash your toilet, etc. The shower, conditioner, etc are of the famous Polar brand. The only thing that i wish to criticise is that the staffs don't speak good English, and i am fully aware that i am in Japan and Japanese don't speak good english, but the hotel staffs being in this industry should at least have a certain degree of basic understanding of English language. I will give an example, I am requesting for new bottle of Shower Soap, they do not understand and had to send a personnel to my room to see what i meant. I am requesting that they change the battery of the safe box in my room due to low battery and they had to transfer the phone call 2 times to finally get what i meant. Just take note that you will need to be patient when speaking to them to get them to understand what your inquiries are. Every staff holds a handheld device for translation purposes though. Besides the slight annoyance due to language barrier, this hotel deserves way more than 3 stars hotel ranking, it felt more like a 4 stars hotel. Absolutely fantastic and deserved praise. I would definitely stay here again in future.

Hotel pertama yang saya tinggal di Kyoto. Lokasinya sangat mudah. ​​Ia sangat dekat dengan Stesen Kyoto. Sangat mudah untuk menaiki bas dan kereta bawah tanah. Terdapat juga banyak restoran yang lazat berhampiran hotel. Betul-betul bertentangan dengan hotel adalah restoran barbeku terkenal Hiro. Bilik hotel agak besar untuk Jepun, dan kemudahan hotel juga sangat baru. Lobinya ringkas dan bergaya. Tiada peralatan mandi pakai buang di dalam bilik. Ia diletakkan di atas meja di lobi dan anda boleh membawanya mengikut permintaan . Terdapat kolam air panas di tingkat atas. Jika anda penat membeli-belah di siang hari, anda boleh pergi berehat. Sarapan pagi Jepun dan Barat, yang lebih sesuai untuk orang Cina. Saya menginap di Kyoto selama empat malam dan memilih dua hotel. Yang kedua ialah hotel mata air panas di seberang hotel ini. Sarapan pagi lebih kaya daripada Hotel Ara, tetapi jika anda menganggap keberkesanan kos, saya cadangkan Hotel Ara.

When visiting Kyoto, we wanted to enjoy some time in an onsen resort so we decided to spend two nights in Ogoto Onsen. After checking the details in their website, we booked a ”Biwa no kaze”room with private onsen and view of Lake Biwako. And we were not disappointed. The room looks newly renovated, and is very spacious with two beds and sitting area plus a tatami room. They offer different dinner packages, and we have chosen crab with steak as the main dishes for the first night, and lobster with shabu-shabu the second night. The foods were of very high quality, tasted and looked very nice. The breakfast buffet was very good with a wide selection of different items. The ryokan is excellent in nearly all aspects. We would stay here again when we next visit Kyoto.

Meine Eindrücke in Kurzform: Lage: Keine Fussgängerlage, jedoch mit dem Zug nur 1 Station, 4 min., von HB Kyoto weg. Die Station ist 250 m vom Hotel entfernt. Essen in der Nähe vom Hotel: Keine grosse Auswahl, da in einer Wohngegend und nicht in einer Touristengegend. Hotel: Typisches, japanisches Hotel. Schuhe sind am Eingang ausziehen. Anschliessend kann man das ganze Hotel entweder Barfuss oder in Socken begehen. Service sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Im Zimmer hat es Pyjamas. Die Zimmer sind klein, jedoch Tiptop im Schuss gehalten. Onsen: Es hat 2 offene Bäder, getrennt nach Frauen und Männern. Zudem hat es 5 private Onsen. Diese sind 24h offen. Reservieren muss man nicht. Wir hatten immer ohne Probleme ein freies vorgefunden. Sonstiges: In jedem Stock hat es eine Auswahl an Kissen in jeder Variation. Zudem hat es Kimonos die man nehmen kann. In der Lobby gibt es Kaffe und Tee. Zudem gibt es Abends von 10 - 11 im ersten Stock Nudelsuppe. Ich würde dieses Hotel wieder buchen.

Lokasi yang sangat baik, tiga laluan trem di sekelilingnya sangat dekat dengan hotel, yang pada asasnya memenuhi keperluan pengangkutan pelancongan Kyoto. Ia sangat dekat dengan Sungai Kamogawa. Hotel ini terletak di jalan komersial, di mana anda boleh membeli-belah dan makan apabila anda keluar. Terdapat pelancong dan kedai di sepanjang jalan. Anda tidak akan berasa bising apabila tinggal di dalamnya. Hotel ini bersih dan kemas dan harganya berpatutan. Ia lebih daripada cukup untuk didiami oleh seorang. Ia disyorkan untuk kanak-kanak perempuan yang ingin mengembara bersendirian dengan selamat!

We stayed 2 nights at this hotel. There's a train station across the street, just one stop from the Kyoto Station so the location was very convenient. From the lobby, there is a door that leads to a Family Mart. The rooms are quite spacious. The bathrooms are of a good size and the toilet is separate from the shower which makes it easy for people to use the bathroom. The amenities were good too. The beds were very comfortable as well. Our room rate came with breakfast which was very good and had a very wide selection of food. The front desk service was great too and people were very helpful. We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel and will likely stay here again for our next visit to Kyoto.

This hotel will only give you bottle of water if you opt out daily room cleaning. However, I am not paying for the price of B&B or hostel….I paid for the price of a hotel room. Daily room cleaning should be included in my hotel fee and should not be excluded just for a bottle of water. I am very dissatisfied on this. The breakfast is in good quality though.

Very pleasant stays at this lovely hotel. Room is bigger than most hotels in Japan Has a small kitchen stove that we used to cook a family dinner on the last day since the supermarket was just right across the road. Must mention the service staff was super helpful and accommodating. If I’m visiting Kyoto again will definitely stay here again!

This is a no-frills, modern hotel (7-Eleven is next door). Our Twin Room was big and comfortable with a good-sized bathroom; a nice touch to have a fabric freshener spray near the coat hooks. It’s a walking distance to Omiya station along the Hankyu Line which includes Umeda (great for those coming from Osaka); close to downtown (Kawaramachi) where you can either walk or take the subway to attractions such as Nishiki Market (Shijo) and Gion (Gion-shijo).
