This hotel in Kyoto truly exceeded my expectations — it feels like a higher-class hotel than its price, especially during cherry blossom season.

1. What I loved:

* The breakfast is probably the best I’ve had in 11 years of traveling around Japan — a wide selection of refined and unexpected dishes for this price range
* A rare find in Japan: a room for three adults with three separate beds
* Great location: about 10–12 minutes by foot from Kyoto Station
* Just 5 minutes away, there’s a bus stop with routes to different parts of Kyoto
* Quiet, cozy neighborhood — a nice escape from the usually crowded tourist areas
* Very friendly and helpful reception staff
* Convenient luggage forwarding service to other cities

2. Overall feeling:
An excellent value-for-money hotel with a peaceful atmosphere. I would definitely recommend it.

3. Downsides:

* Very few places to eat nearby (only 1–2 options)
* During our stay, one restaurant was closed for the weekend, leaving almost no choice except a small skewers place
* However, near Kyoto Station (10 minutes walk) there are many underground cafés and restaurants
* Breakfast last enter time is 9/9:15

I'm giving this place full marks, it's just so convenient! It's about 200 meters from the subway exit (take the Starbucks exit), and only a 10-minute walk to Daimaru Department Store and Nishiki Market. It's located on a quiet side street, and the environment is elegant. My only minor gripes are that they don't even provide a bottle of water, and the hotel's public bath isn't very big – it felt cramped with just four people. On the bright side, there's a 7-Eleven right across the street, which is super handy for buying things.

The location is pretty good, very close to Kyoto Station. The hotel is clean and well-equipped. The only downside is that the two beds are pushed together.

After booking on Trip.com, I still had to pay a tax upon arrival. I thought it was a deposit, and when checking out, I stupidly went to the front desk to ask for it back. The staff member looked totally bewildered 😳

If you want your room cleaned, you absolutely have to hang the sign outside your door. This is different from China, where cleaning is usually assumed.

First time in Kyoto, and after using Trip.com for over twenty years, this hotel had good reviews and was really close to Kyoto Station—within walking distance. Even though I don't speak a word of Japanese, check-in was smooth, the front desk staff were very welcoming, and the room was clean, though a bit small. The hotel has a free public bath, and you can even grab a complimentary ice cream after your soak. The location is super convenient for getting around, and Higashi Hongan-ji Temple is right outside. I stayed for three nights and was generally pleased! Definitely recommend it for anyone visiting Kyoto for the first time!

We had a fantastic stay at Insomnia Kyoto Oike. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed. The hotel offers 24-hour lounge services included in the room price, which was super convenient. They even provided a free bicycle to explore Kyoto and umbrellas when it rained. Our room was spacious with a comfortable bathroom, making it easy to relax after a day of sightseeing. Highly recommended!

Every word of mouth has a great response from the staff at the dog first, but I felt that it was correct.
I think it was really good for Mr. Andogie to have the first stay experience of my dog.
My dog is large and barking is quite powerful, but I was able to stay with peace of mind because the staff who were accustomed to the dog loved me.

Decently sized room. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. It’s a good place to stay if you have rented your own car. Carpark for 1700yen per day. In its lobby there is a Familymart so and a souvenir store so overall it’s a convenient place!
Didn’t get a chance to really explore its amenities as I’m out most of the days, but I would recommend for its price!

I stayed at Hotel Androoms Naha Port on 15 April 2026. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced, and the location is good.

However, I had a very bad experience due to the hotel’s parking management.

During check-in, I clearly informed the front desk that I had a car and pointed out where I parked (behind the hotel). The staff confirmed that it was the hotel’s parking area.

Shortly after going to my room, the same staff knocked on my door and asked me to come down, saying I might have parked in someone else’s lot. Only after calling me down did they then ask for my car plate number, meaning they had not even confirmed whether the car belonged to me before approaching me.

It turned out I was directed to park in a private lot. I immediately apologized to the owner and was ready to move my car, but I was told I needed to pay a ¥30,000 penalty.

The signage was extremely unclear, poorly lit, and partially blocked, making it impossible to see at night. More importantly, this situation was caused by incorrect information given by the hotel staff.

The parking lot owner told me this was the 8th time this has happened with hotel guests, which shows this is an ongoing issue that has not been resolved.

The situation remained unresolved for nearly 1 hour. As no agreement was reached, the hotel decided to call the police to handle the matter.

After police intervention and discussions with all parties, the hotel eventually paid ¥30,000 to the parking lot owner, and the matter was resolved after almost 2 hours.

Despite all this, there was no apology or service recovery, and I was still charged the parking fee.

This was a simple issue that could have been prevented with clear signage or proper staff training, but it escalated unnecessarily and caused significant stress on the last night of my trip.

Overall, the room is good, but due to this experience, I would not recommend staying here if you are driving.

I only took family photos, so I don't have any photos of the hotel itself,
but I'll try to break down the pros and cons in as much detail as possible.

The pros are:
It's close to the airport and on the outskirts, so it's quiet. Personally, what I liked most was that the guests were mostly Japanese families, without any crowds. They were polite and respectful, and the atmosphere was great, allowing for a comfortable stay.

The hot springs and sauna are open from morning until late.

There's a souvenir shop and convenience store on the first floor, which was convenient.
Breakfast offers a variety of Japanese and Western dishes, but the menu is the same for all three days, so keep that in mind if you're planning on having breakfast back-to-back.

The cons are:
Because it's an older hotel, the facilities are old and don't feel very clean.
The carpets in the guest rooms, especially the ones connected to the hallways, are obviously dirty.
You have to wear shoes or slippers anywhere except on the bed, which was inconvenient. There seem to be rooms without carpet, but you'll have to look into it based on your personal preferences.

The most inconvenient part of the experience was the walkway.

The walkway between the main building and the annex is long, and the elevators have different floor numbers, which can be confusing (in the main building, you press the 2nd floor button, and in the annex, you press the 3rd floor button).

The annex also has elevators at both ends, one for floors 1-6, the other for floors 2-12. For example, if you're in a room on the 11th floor and want to get to the first floor, you have to take the elevator on the left to the 3rd floor, then the elevator at the opposite end, and then go back to the first floor. LOL

The microwave is only on the first floor, and I had a really hard time using it once. I was a bit confused as to why they made it this way.

And parking is 1,800 yen per day.
There's also a private parking lot right in front for 700 yen.
You can just park in the annex if there's an empty space...

Instead, if you park in the paid mechanical parking lot, they'll check your ticket when you enter and exit, and it takes a long time. Absolutely don't do it.

Many say the location is a bit out of the way, but it's actually fine. There's a direct elevator from Hosui-Susukino Station on the Toho Line that takes you right to ground level. From the station, it's just two street crossings to the hotel. Of course, it might be a little inconvenient if you have a suitcase (dragging it through the snow can be tough). The hot spring and sauna are 100% amazing (you can enjoy them both morning and night!), and they even offer a free bowl of miso ramen after 9 PM. Convenience stores nearby are a bit far, so if you plan on having a late-night snack, it's best to buy it in advance and bring it back to the hotel.

Best for travelers prioritizing excellent cleanliness, great facilities (especially the sauna), and easy access to the Susukino area of Sapporo.
👍 The Good (Highlights):
Unique Amenities: The hotel features a highly popular sauna on the top floor (not a traditional onsen) and offers free miso ramen in the evenings (usually 9 PM to 11 PM).
Cleanliness & Style: Rooms are consistently rated as impeccably clean, modern, and stylishly designed.
Location: Conveniently located near the Hosui-Susukino Subway Station (Exit 6 is often mentioned), making it easy to access the main Susukino district, Nijo Market, and the Sapporo TV Tower.
Staff: The staff are very kind and helpful.
👎 The Not-So-Good (Drawbacks):
Lighting: Some guests have noted that the lighting in the rooms can be slightly dark, which might be inconvenient for tasks like applying makeup.
Dining: The immediate surrounding area right outside the hotel may have fewer restaurants or convenience stores compared to the absolute center of Susukino.
Verdict:
This hotel is a fantastic choice if you appreciate modern style, top-tier cleanliness, and are eager to take advantage of the unique sauna and free nightly ramen. Its slightly quieter location is balanced by excellent subway access.

good location and very clean. But small room, No lobby for meeting a friend, but cafe which I should buy a drink to seat on it.
No exception for buying a cafe. salty BF.
All of my team complained with this hotel for the reason above.
No recommend to my friends.
