They only clean the room on the 4th day. No room cleaning on the first 3 days.
jose a.familyNov 20, 2024 In the heart of Kyoto's shopping district. Very near train and subway station. Walkable to most must visit places.
This is a very nice hotel but the climate control in the room was not ideal. It seems like everything is locked to heating in the latter half of the year? I used a translation app to get the thermostat to at least make the room feel a little more comfortable but when you leave the room the power shuts off, and I would wake up in the middle of the night when the air setting would reset itself (presumably as a power saving measure)
wesley.partnerNov 16, 2024 A hotel should serve one major purpose, to provide guests with a quiet place to rest.
Travelodge Kyoto failed to achieve this.
This was our experience:
The beds were rock hard, which impacted sleep and ledt you to wake feeling unrested. Althougg the staff were polite, when requesting an additional blanket the staff to sleep on (to soften the bed) were not willing/able accomodate this request.
We were on the 10th floor, the noise breaking into the room from the street below was considerable. Even with the windows closed. Pity those who staying on the lower levels. Soundproofing appeared very poor.
Additionally, there were 2x washer dryers for the entire hotel. We had to set an alarm for during the night to wake us in the hope we could get to the machine early as they were constantly in use. For a hotel with 10 floors and 20 rooms per floor, the number of washing machines for guests was insufficient.
Would recommend anyone to look elsewhere for something that will be more comfortable.
A good choice hotel overall
Good location on connecting bus routes around the area: however, poor breakfast for vegetarians/pescatarians. Laundry facilities poor/limited. Two washer/driers for whole hotel and people queuing to use them! Superior double room a decent size. Receptionists very helpful.
eduardo.partnerNov 09, 2024 This hotel is on a shopping street and near food places.
Great location in central area of Kyoto
Central area, easy to get to the food market and Gion. Clean tidy room, on the small side but this is typical for Japan.
sabrina.partnerOct 26, 2024 Really enjoyed staying here. Our room was great and the location is awesome.
Would definitely recommend!
miranda.familyOct 19, 2024 Decent room in a convenient location
The hotel is just a few steps from the most popular shopping center in Kyoto. There are plenty of restaurant options nearby, and transportation is right at the door. Our room was spacious by Japanese standards, with two very comfortable beds. The temples aren’t very close but are walkable (about an hour). A taxi from the train station to the hotel and from the hotel to the temples costs about $10–$12.
meganne.partnerOct 05, 2024 It was a very convenient hotel to visit many popular areas of Kyoto. I wish there was a dedicated eat-in area since there are so many conbinis nearby for an easy meal. It was very clean but please not that laundry service is only for guests staying at least 4 days.
The staffs are very friendly and helpful. Great location. A lot of restaurants and shops around there. And public transportation is great. The room is tiny but good enough for basic needs. Affordable price with great service. I think I will come back again while I travel in Kyoto in future.
Information from front desk very limited on tourists spot like hop on bus, nearby tourist spot
Walls are thin, you can hear people in the hallway and traffic on the street. Was asked my nationality after handing over my passport--could be racist as I am a visible minority.
tanya.partnerSep 22, 2024 Stunning property
Without sounding too demeaning, I wasn’t expecting it to be anything than a standard hotel but actually was pleasantly surprised and nice sized room very clean and good service.
yohana.familyAug 17, 2024 Great for shopping and nice hotel. We get a lot for the price. Great location if you like to walk to visit
Kyoto.
Small rooms (as expected) but very clean and the AC is great in the heat. Was in a great location for walking and also for public transportation. LOTS of options for food right out your door essentially. 10/10 would recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Kyoto!
A centrally located average hotel
The hotel is located on the main business street of Kyoto. Kyoto is full of visitors and tourists at this time of the year and it is hot and humid. My room was a single room, small but practical. The bed was fine. There was no view out of the window. The lobby was packed with suitcases of people checking in or out and it was crowded. The two receptionists tried their best to help. Breakfast was very minimal and not satisfactory at all,
lorena.familyJul 06, 2024 can hear cars passing, people singing from karaoke place, siren from emergency trucks/cars in our room that was facing the main road
