First Stay At Kyoto Kawaramachi

Cheap!

Everything was new and clean

I was trying to find a traditional Japanese room, with sliding doors, tatami and futon. This is what I think tourist would love specially in Kyoto… maybe you can have another hotel/rooms with traditional Japanese features.

Great location, close to many major Kyoto attractions. Convenience store and laundry place nearby.

I wish that for this price we had a window in our room. There was only an emergency exit "balcony" with no view (fully boarded up).

The room is bright, clean, and cozy. The beds and pillows are comfortable although the blanket can be bigger. The bathroom is also very clean and spacious. I like the staff because they're very friendly, smiley, and very helpful, I can tell they all care about the guests. The water dispenser and self service amenities + towels in the lobby are very convenient. The location is also nice, only a few minutes walk to the river and many shops and restaurants around.

The placements for the tables and chairs in the room feels forced and blocking the ways, me and my partner had to arrange the layout around so we can have space to walk and put our suitcases. The window is so small and when you open there's no open view or any space, so it feels a little claustrophobic. The check-in process was a little strange, we have to do it at 3 PM sharp although the staff was there cleaning, we hoped we would be able to do the paperwork when we arrive and then come back later after 3 to take our luggages up, but as it wasn't possible, it felt awkward for us to leave for short walk and hurriedly come back to continue with the check in process.
