Hotel Banister Kyoto

The hotel is not in the busy area but there are enough restaurants around and not too far to walk to Kyoto station so I think it’s good option for travelers. The rooms are very clean and large, very good for families.

Absolutely loved the location and room we stayed in! Short walk from Kyoto Station, lots of Family Mart , 7-Eleven and Lawsons nearby! Also walkable to many other dining options. If youre adventurous like my husband and I were, we walked to Nishiki Market and Fushimi Inari and got lost in the beauty of Kyoto ! The room was quiet and surprisingly being by the train tracks, we barely heard them pass by! The staff were so excellent with food/sightseeing suggestions and even helped us figure out how to work the shower LOL !!! We are from Canada and used to just turning the tap on and adjusting the heat. This bathroom has a keypad for the room hot water/shower/bath we couldn't figure out! The staff were so sweet when we went to ask how to work the hot water and bathroom tablet! I would definitely stay here again during our next Japan trip!

Great place to stay

Location is great, next to Kyoto aquarium and a nice park. Staff are all very nice and helpful, also English friendly. Some of the floor mattresses for the tatami room and pillows were heavily stained but other than that everything was nice and clean.

京都駅や東寺まで歩いていける場所にありました。ホテルの部屋は清潔でお風呂の浴槽は広くゆったり入れました。また利用したいと思います。

Staff were very friendly and helped us store our luggage for us before check in time. Our room was very spacious and clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable and there was also Netflix available (Japanese only but you can select Eng subtitles). Downside is that there is nothing in the area so you need to spend quite a bit of time travelling to the tourist attractions. Also it is also located near a train track and the windows are thin so you can hear trains running if you’re a light sleeper.

The room was extremely modern with an excellent bathroom. Comfortable beds and pillows.

There were no curtains in the tatami room, which meant that my daughter woke up too early.

マンションの部屋をホテルとしたようなものなので、部屋も浴室も広く、なんといっても私は複数の窓が自由に開けられるのが、とても快適でした。ホテルではない誰かの家にいるような気分でした。少し歩けばイオンモールもありましたね。洗面所の蛇口が新しいデザインで、少しの間、どうすれば使えるのかわかりませんでしたが。欲を言えば、もう少しデスクが広いと仕事するのにはありがたかったのですが。

The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean.

The “free parking” which we needed to pay at the end.
