    Great hotel with spacious rooms and nice value. Very close to Kyoto station.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Economy Twin Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The room felt a bit dated but overall was good. A bit noisy if you have a light sleep as the room was just in front of the train station and the crossings nearby.

    Great location (just in front of Kyoto main train station), room was spacious, breakfast was overall good and satisfying. I liked the fact of being just below the tower, for which entry is discounted.

    I have booked 2 nights of 1 deluxe room for family of four. The room was clean, spacious with comfortable four single beds, a sofa and a coffee table. The self-serve amenities (coffee, tea, toothpaste) in the lobby for hotel guests. The hotel was in a convenient location, short distance walk to Kyoto station.

    Room needed a little bit of TLC but nothing major. Noise from the traffic lights and traffic outside at night

    Location was fantastic to find hotel but also for all the sights, directly opposite Kyoto train station central exit. Lots of buses or trains/metro for access to the attractions. There is a food hall underneath the hotel which was amazing and had lots of Japanese food for us to try as well as lots of restaurants around the area and corner shops. Room was larger than some others in Japan. Comfortable bed. Staff very friendly and helpful

    Far from all the things to do on Kyoto Rooms very basic, which is I suppose what you pay for Our room has no view of anything, just a blank wall. Kind of expected something given it's the Kyoto tower hotel

    Rooms were clean and basic. Close to the main train station Excellent food hall in the basement Staff were friendly

    It’s a good place to stay. Within walking distance to Kyoto station to take buses or railway to go places you want to go. Hotel lobby is at level 8. For smoker need not worry head out to the emergency escape exit, there a smoking area there but don’t forget to take your room card with you. Or you will find yourself being locked in. Staffs are friendly too. Will book again for next trip.

    The heater in the lobby was sweltering. The washroom had a funky smell, and the shower curtain was moldy. I will likely not stay at this hotel for long.

    Location is very central and convenient. Great location for transiting using Kyoto Station.

    We have to go to the reception level to get the coffee and tea. It will be good to let us sample snacks that we can buy from the souvenir shop downstairs. The hotel could tie up with the shop. Our cups in the room were not washed. We forgot to inform that the sink on the left side was choked. Our room is 730.

    Very convenient location. Near to public transport, cafes, restaurants, pharmacy, convenient stores and more. We had a room with tatami mats and it was spacious for four adults! We like the view of the cross roads, Kyoto station and a glimpse of the mountains. We especially love the toilet which was separated from the bath area. We love the automated toilet seat opening, heated seat, deodorizer. We also like the 'onsen' style bathroom.

    Nothing in particular. Strange had to go level 8 for reception and go to the rooms by comeing back down to 5 .

    The accommodation itself was clean and comfortable. The closeness to the Kyoto Station (bus and train).

    Windows just let cold air straight into room as they seal poorly. It could be noisy, a lot of street noise during the night. Air conditioner did not allow for temperature adjustment just volume of air.

    Great location handy to trains and buses, many options for meals nearby.

    Facilities were very aged. Room layout made moving around difficult. Despite the name, guest did not have unlimited access to kyoto tower. The first room we were given spelled strongly of sewerage.

    Directly opposite Kyoto station. Had a 1 time use reduced admission cost for kyoto tower. Upon check in, there was an issue with the room and the staff very quickly assigned us a new room seamlessly.
