3-Star Hotels in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

Good location, with convenience stores nearby.

The hotel is 10 - 13 mns walk from the end of Kyoto station. Though it doesn't sound a lot, to navigate through Kyoto station is quite something, then add 13 mns of walk. We arrived on a rainy day, so that didn't help at all. To travel to diff places in Kyoto, there is no bus or nearby subway, everything is Kyoto station as hub. There's nothing much around the hotel except a 7/11. The room is comfy but very small, especially the washroom. It lacked space to hang clothes and towels, plus that faucet system is spraying water everywhere. The plus side is the water pressure (shower) is excellent! And there's a washing machine on site. The reception kept our luggage, checkin at 3, there r umbrella to borrow. Tea (various types from Irish cream to Darjeeling) and ironically lacking green tea. They provide 2 drip coffee, but no cream and sugar (even at reception), so black it is. The diffuser is a gimmick but it did nothing. They give out a gift basket if you give review on Google... I find they r trying to make it nice with the diffuser, flavored teas to enhance the stay experience, but small details like a warmer smile will be appreciated, plus green tea, creamer... a lot of details are lacking and still to be improved.

[PRO] Good location! - walk distance to subway stations and bus stop / near Kawaramachi and next to 2 supermarkets, very convenient during the stays [CONS] AC system is controlled by main controller guest can not adjust to their preferred temp, TV is outdate - NO smart tv need a huge update on this

Hotel location is good but direction instruction to hotel isn't clear. We walked & dragged our baggage thru stairway from train station. 1. Location convenient. To popular tourist IG places need to walk 20mins 2. Food available nearby & mall. 3. Room enough tk sleep with small space to leave your baggage standing. 4. Very basic room. Comfy to sleep, not too noisy. Thank you.

When we checked in, there were two staff members at the front desk. The Chinese woman with black glasses spoke loudly and seemed impatient because I couldn’t speak Japanese. She was also supervising the other staff member, showing him how to handle the check-in process, which took up a lot of time. Overall, I didn’t feel welcomed, and she didn’t seem very good at accommodating tourists at all.

Let me talk about the size of the room first. Compared with the average Japanese business traveler, this room can be described as super comfortable. There is no sense of oppression. The room facilities are all well equipped, and there should be some, because we go in winter, and there is also a big terrace. Warm stickers are provided, but we just happened to have prepared ourselves so we didn’t take the position. It was in the middle of the Shijo and Wujo stations. If you are pulling luggage, you should pay attention to which exit has an elevator, or you will have to go up the stairs yourself.

It was the first time that my husband and I came to Kyoto and we chose this B&B to stay for 5 nights. It felt very good. Warm and familiar Japanese style, located in the middle of Japanese houses, you can truly experience life in Japan. The B&B has convenient transportation. Buses, Kintetsu and Shinkansen are all very convenient to reach various attractions. The host also thoughtfully provided various itinerary and transportation strategies, as well as information on surrounding convenience stores, supermarkets, Chinese dumpling shops, Japanese izakayas, and Japanese food restaurants, all of which are only a few minutes away. Extremely convenient! Next time I come to Kyoto to see cherry blossoms, my husband said he would come to this restaurant again.

The B&B is very clean. It is located in a residential area. The residents are quite quiet. There is just a bit of noise from passing cars at night. It is a good place to experience a Japanese cabin. It is especially suitable for a family. It is more comfortable than staying in a hotel. It is spacious and has many rooms. It has a living room and takes into account both privacy and privacy. Family interactions. There are kitchen supplies so you can cook your own meals. The nearby 24-hour supermarket is very convenient for buying ingredients and making Japanese hot pot. You can use Uber to call a car to the door of your room. The landlord responded promptly via WeChat and provided detailed information about the surrounding area. It is recommended that there be a small table next to the sink to store cosmetics, or a tabletop mirror to facilitate putting on makeup on the living room table. Slippers are difficult to wear, and it would be better to provide disposable toiletries. Overall it's worth staying, especially for family travel. Some information for other friends who are making reservations: There is a subway station ten minutes away, but the Kyoto subway is not very convenient. The main bus is the main one, but the bus is a bit laborious. Basically, it is simple and straightforward to use Uber. A taxi from Kyoto Station costs about 1,100 yen, Eikan-do Temple is 3,800 yen, Nishi Honganji Temple is 1,600 yen, Tofukuji Temple is 1,300 yen, and Kiyomizu Temple is 3,400 yen.

The place was nice but it wasn’t really close to anything and you have to take the bus or a taxi to get anywhere. There are some nice parks and temples nearby though but it really is in a neighborhood. The place is nice and peaceful. A good local udon shop is like a short walk away and there’s a gyoza restaurant nearby. The only issue was that it was not well cleaned. When I filled up the tub, it was full of detritus and upon closer inspection there were long women’s hairs around the rim of the tub. No women were staying there. The bathroom also had mold on the tub that caused an itchy rash and needed to be bleached to remove it. The room had not been dusted and there were also issues with hair. Other than that, the owner was polite and thorough but had asked us to communicate on WeChat, which I didn’t like. They were fine with email though after the first message.

There are supermarkets, drug makeup, convenience stores around, about 10 minutes' walk from Lushan Station. Three people live in this duplex homestay is simply cool, there should be some equipment, wifi air conditioning is very good, only the kitchen has some oil scale, but the problem is not big, give praise!
