Hotel Anteroom Kyoto

Stayed in North Wing Twin Room, no terrace. Bathroom is tight and had barely any counter space, we ended up cleaning and putting stuff on the floor. Very Japanese shower wet room kind of set up, did not make use of the stool and pointed the shower head diagonally towards the tub, not ideal for westerners but doable if you keep an open mind and can squat a tad. Faucet had a nearly all or nothing kind of spray so we had to be careful with it. Room was otherwise as described including large table, giant window ledge for arranging our stuff, and padded bench. One or two stray hairs remained from previous occupant which was not great. Shampoo, Conditioner, bodywash included as usual, decent quality stuff. There is absolutely no in-room safe and the hotel room is locked via a manual key, not a digital key card. We ended up keeping more of our valuables on our person versus other hotels we've stayed at upon being informed during check in that there is no in-room safe. Area is walkable from the local trains with some local restaurants and Konbini nearby. Made use of the wonderful hotel bar, though it was closed on one night of our stay as the bartender seemed to be under the weather the night before. Definitely recommend the bar though, definitely a good time with a skilled bartender and good prices. Pros: Bar, location, room size Cons: Bathroom lacks counter space. NO IN ROOM SAFE. Did not love the use of a manual key for the hotel room. Could be cleaner.

The accommodation and surrounding environment are very good. A short walk from the nearest station. （15 minutes walk from JR Kyoto Station Hachijo East Exit. 8 minutes walk from Kujo Station on the Subway Karasuma Line.）

Has many facilities and clean, bottle of water and towels given daily. Unfortunately was firstly given a room that already had someone else's bags in it at first. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Dryers need updating, takes 1.5 hours to dry a normal load.

Great hotel, nice bar and chill area too. Short walk to the train station. Didn’t try the food but looked nice. Clean rooms and staff were lovely. We travelled around Japan for three weeks and this was the cheapest hotel we stayed in and possibly best, way cheaper than London prices.
