Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located beside the train station, which is great for accessibility, but the small rooms and high price might not match expectations. The service was friendly, and the dining options varied in price. The hotel facilities were satisfactory, but the room size and cost could be more balanced.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The central location with plenty of options for dining and shopping was a big plus. However, the rooms were way too small for three people, especially after putting our luggage on the floor. Being right next to the train station and shopping mall was convenient.
The hotel's location across from Kyoto Station was incredibly convenient, making travel around the city a breeze. The room we initially had was small, but after speaking with management, we were promptly moved to a spacious one that suited our needs perfectly. The dining options were varied and enjoyable, offering a mix of Japanese and Western dishes. The service, however, left something to be desired, with some issues regarding cleaning and organization noticed. Overall, a reasonably good stay with a few ups and downs.
I was pleasantly surprised by the small yet cozy room with extra gadgets like the Panasonic Facial Steamer and an additional hair dryer. The hotel's location just next to the train station and shopping mall was super convenient for getting around.
The hotel is conveniently close to the train station, making travel easy, and the rooms, though not large, offer plenty of electrical power points for charging multiple devices simultaneously. The service, while lacking English communication, was helpful overall, yet some aspects like guidance and receipts were missing. The location is excellent for train travelers, being just in the back of the JR station. The dining experience had good variety but lacked some healthier options. The facilities are well-maintained, providing essential services.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were decent in size but felt a bit dated, yet offered good value overall. The location was perfect, just a few steps outside Kyoto train station. The service was lacking in promptness and communication, but the staff did help with luggage. The dining options were excellent, though a bit expensive. Overall, a place with both positives and negatives.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms are smaller than Western standards, but they are beautifully clean. The location, right across from Kyoto Station, is super convenient for exploring the city. However, the service was lacking warmth and friendliness, which was unexpected in Japan. The dining options were decent but not exceptional.
The hotel is conveniently located next to the Avante shopping mall and Kyoto bus and train stations, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms, while spacious by Japanese standards, are smaller compared to some other hotels in the same category.
