Guest Reviews
- Kar Ki Kassie (10/5): 職員親切有禮 - 職員非常有禮貌，而且鄰近車站，亦近二條城。 不過，酒店的地點需要走入小巷，晚上有一點靜。
- ?? (4/5): - 部屋が下水の匂いがしました。
- Susumu (8/5): - 値段が妥当 スタッフがさっぱりしている ゴタゴタしていない周辺環境 などの点が良い
- Caique (10/5): Hotel novinho e impecavel - O hotel esta novinho e tudo funcionou muito bem. Eles oferecem diariamente pijamas e toalhas limpas e tem amendities liberado. A localizacao fica distancia a pe do Castelo e facil acesso as estacoes
- Rafael (10/5): Great hotel, really clean. - Kyoto is a lovely city and the hotel is just as good, even though is a little far from the station, is close from Subway station and a bunch of bus line, which is the main way to get around the city. The staff is great and really helpful, the room is not small and fits great. Would definitely stay there again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - とてもキレイで気持ちよかったです。
- Cristina (2/5): - Non è compresa la pulizia giornaliera che secondo me in un hotel è d’obbligo! Sennò sarebbe un appartamento.. inoltre non è ben specificata questa clausola! Nella struttura c’eravamo solo noi finchè l’ultimo giorno sono arrivati altri ospiti di cui hanno dato priorità sulla lavanderia anche se anche noi come ospiti avevamo il diritto di usarlo quanto loro, ancor più visto che l’avevamo occupata prima noi, siamo stati intimati di liberarla.
- ゆ。 (8/5): - 清潔感があって、駅からも近く、便利なところで満足です！玄関入口にある暗証番号入力のタッチパネルが見ずらかったです。
- Verified traveler (10/5): わかり辛い場所だったが、静かで快適だった。 - わかり辛い場所だったが、静かで快適だった。 清掃も行き届いている。 欠点は部屋が若干黴臭い。 換気の問題か?密閉性の問題かは不明。
- Verified traveler (8/5): Pleasant Stay in Kyoto - It's a pleasant stay in this hotel. The quality of toiletries was good. Staff are friendly but don't speak very well English. Free laundry, local and international calls are very useful. No keys to room as it's quite high tech to use codes to get in and out of the hotel and your room. The M's Information Centre is great. Free pick up and excursions available. Do need to book them in advance. Staff at the Information Centre are brilliant, very helpful. I shall use this chain hotel again. The Chinese domestic lady was extremely helpful. Location of the hotel is good but you need to research how to find it as it is at the back street but you can see it on the main road. You do need to have your mobile phone available to pick up the access code on the day of your check in. The Information Centre has a demo of check in and check out - it is quite easy. I have experienced staff manning the reception at different hours, which was useful.
- Thomas (10/5): Best bang for your Yen - Amazing! Very friendly and polite staff there. Our stay was so good we booked a couple extra days there. Everything inside was newly updated so it is a very clean place. Best bang for your Yen in Kyoto!
- Ling (8/5): Modern - Clean, good service. Very well equipped and modern.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Helped us with copies of our passport photos due to damage. Room was very comfortable and had a good shower. Would have been nice if they provided a safety deposit box
- Wong (2/5): The worst hotel and customer service ever!!! - This place is hard to find because it doesn't have the sign upper the building; it is hardly to find the logo in front the front door either. The staffs don't know English and being mean to the customers. My friend went to borrow the blanket from the staff room, they just didn't know and give my friend blanket with the women's "red" blanket! However, the door lock is unbelievable annoying.Every time, the numbers place in random places, and make it harder to put in the password. When I check in, I spent 2 hours and waited for the staff to come help. When I call the customer service, the girl just didn't know English and asked my name multiple times! That's okay, but her attitude is unbearable rude! Whatever, I am not going back again anymore. Anastasia
- JorisV (6/5): - Hotel close to the Hankyu line (Omiya Station). No daily housekeeping, only every 3 days. WiFi didn't work, even after mentioning it at the staff at the 'reception'. Overall, you get what you pay for. In this case, not too much.
- Daisuke (10/5): good - 素泊まりであれば、非常に良いです。お部屋は清潔でした。四条大宮駅にほど近く交通の便も良い。また、利用したいです。
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Struttura nuova e molto confortevole. Ottima posizione. Check in e check out rapidi.
- Jiayi (6/5): - There’s only room service every three days. Hotel is adopting smart technology so expect less staff & more interfaces to interact with. Might not be suitable for people who are not tech savvy. The room feels weird as we kept waking up in the middle of the night
- Verified traveler (2/5): - No complaints
- Verified traveler (8/5): チェックイン情報が来なかった。 - 時間になってもチェックイン情報がメイルで届かず少し不安になった。ホテルに到着したらスタッフが居て問題無く部屋に入れた。この件だけがマイナス、その他はGood!!.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Property was clean and well presented and close enough to required amenities and transport
- Verified traveler (8/5): - スタッフが常駐していないのでちょっと不安。
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Très bon hôtel et bien situé pour visiter Kyoto. Navette gratuite pour y aller et bonne communication par mail. Par contre nous n’avons jamais reçu le mail de Check in. Arrivant en journée nous avons eu des personnes pour nous accueillir. Mais nous avons rencontré 2 jeunes à 22h qui n’avaient pas reçu de mail de Check in non plus. Vrai point noir pour un hôtel sans personnel.
- Verified traveler (6/5): 위치나 방크기에 비해 비싼 느낌 - 체크인시간이 5:30분 이라는 사실에 정말... 택시까지 타고 달려감 ㅠㅠ 욕실에 머리카락이 떨어져 있어서 조슴 불쾌했습니다.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - スタッフがおらず、対応してもらえないことが多かった。
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The hotel is very nice place, quite and convenience. From hotel i can go various place around Kyoto. However, i hope hotel can provide breakfast too.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Didnt like the format of the hotel ie no staff around,no receptionist, room not done the following day, the codes to get in the hotel, the pin to get in the room, the late check in Communication was difficult to say the least First time i make a poor comment about my booking. The above shoukd have been highlighted by expedia on their website . Disappointed !!
- Verified traveler (4/5): - チェックイン方法がわかりにくい。マイページから確認するという風にメールできたが、そもそもマイページがなになのかわからなかった。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very comfortable room. Spacious and quiet. The pin-code check in was easy. Location is good, and we cycled to all the main Kyoto sights, and it was about 10-15min walk to great restaurants/bars.
- ｋ.ｍ (8/5): - 駅近で綺麗なホテルでした。ちょっと狭かったですが値段のことを考えるとそれなりだと思ってます。また利用したいです。
- Jiun-Yu (10/5): 很有趣的一次體驗 - 這間旅館的優點或缺點，就是沒有櫃台人員 但如果你是一個從未搞清楚櫃台人員到底要幫你幹嘛之前，你就checkout的人，這間真的是完美的住宿 大家可能會很怕說沒有人在前台，會不會checkin/out很難懂，然後被罰錢等等 完全不會！ 在訂完飯店後每隔一段時間飯店就會發email到您信箱提醒您住宿時要怎麼做。只要你不是一個畏懼現代科技的人，相信這些都是很簡單的 房間的部分，很幸運的分到了邊間，整個房間又大又舒適，我真的一夜好眠到天亮
- Verified traveler (4/5): Avoid! - All good reviews are from people who paid very small introductory priced when they just opened. They misrepresented a whole list of things. * We personally witnessed how a mother and daughter could not enter the room late at night as they never received a code through email as was promised. * There was no shuttle as was promised. * The room was not ready by 4PM. * TV did not work at all in our room for all 10 nights. * We could not cancel one night 2 weeks in advance without losing money as their rates went up. *They never cleaned our room in all 10 days. Just changed towels once. * They took a bag of our dirty clothes prepared for laundry from the floor and threw out one of two bags. How stupid! Another was put at so called front desk. In 10 days we never saw anybody there. * Their bathroom is extremely tiny with no shelves at all, so things fall, sometimes into the toilet. Maybe one person can manage using it, not two. We had to spend time and money to replace them to continue our trip. Instead of enjoying dinner we had to correspond back and forth with a person assigned to fix multiple problems. They were polite but never fixed a single problem. They ignored our request to partially reimburse money. Stay there only if they give you a super-special price of $30-40 a night. Paying $1.400 was absolutely not worth it. You can try if we want a non-stop "adventures".
- Verified traveler (4/5): - 無人飯店談不上有什麼服務，備品應該要照入住的天數準備，住了四晚，只給一天份的牙膏、毛巾、衛生紙根本不夠用。沒看上去的乾淨，過敏了四天第一次在日本這樣，換別間住的時候就完全沒事了。
- Verified traveler (4/5): Not Satisfactory Stay - Stayed for 4 nights in Grand Japaning Hotel Omiya. Pros: 1) About 5-7 mins walk from Omiya and Shijo Station; 2) Quiet neighbourhood; 3) Nearby eateries and convenient stores; 4) Keyless entry/ exit for hotel and room; 5) Smart phone & 6) Washing machine & dryer on level 5 and 6 but without instructions. Cons:1) Key pad for hotel lobby entry place too low ie got to stoop or squat; 2) Display hard to read; 3) No phone at lobby desk if you need assistance to check-in; 4) Smart phone unable to reach local (Japan) numbers; 5) Housekeeping did not top up hand cleanser and face tissue paper – got to send email to request; 6) Housekeeper left room ajar after accessing room; 7) No room cleaning on 3rd day even though email correspondence from hotel stated that and no response when I wrote to enquire on third night till check out.
- kam ha (8/5): - 交通方便，沒存放行李較不好，房間空間大和舒適，不錯的選擇
- AS (4/5): - The 4 of us booked 2 rooms in this place for 5 nights. Unfortunately, I trusted Expedia when searching for a place in Kyoto. The good thing is its location. Isolated in a residential area with min walk to everything we needed, it was quite easy to tour Kyoto from it. Other then location, it is all going south... The rooms are tiny and 2 adults can hardly stand in it at the same time. The bathroom is so small you can barely dry yourself while inside. But the worst thing is there is no one to talk with and they are not honouring what they promise. We asked to replace our towels (should be Ok to do it on a daily basis) and clean the room (should be Ok after 3 nights stay) and nothing... they simply ignored my emails and with no other way to contact them, we had to suck it up. And in case you wonder, the value for money is not there. Now that I know this place, I would not pay more than $50/night for it (and we paid more than x4 times more)
- Carl (6/5): - It's overall clean and tidy, managed lean and thin. If you like it and are technology savvy, you will find the right fit. Otherwise you will feel like you are going through a CIA job interview, with every door entrance with secret code and wait for email to send you another code for the room and room number before you enter the elevator, but if you don't receive email you will just have to wait in the lobby for their remote staff to get back with you, hopefully soon! Very disappointed the first night after being told to run to different rooms to get handy phone when it was supposed to be in my room in the first place. Even so I had never got one! After I emailed them about the situation they just replied "Very, very sorry, handy phone is no longer available at this moment." They need to fix the issue or remove the offering from their amenities list.
- Peck (2/5): Problem not resolved, bathroom leaking - The check in was smooth, however guests need to have WiFi or check in early in order to get access to the property as it is a self check in hotel. The room is spacious, comfortable however I found out the the bathroom was leaking after I take a shower, the floor was flooded up to the carpet floor. I call the emergency phone and they pass me another phone contact as there are a few Grand Japaning location. I managed to speak to a person however because it was late at night, she could not resolve it. I could not change room as it was fully booked according to the person in charge. She says she will speak to her boss however when we get back after our day out on the next day, no one attended to the problem. I had to call again.however phone was engaged many times. I send email to complain again. The next day, I still didn't get a reply from the hotel. On the third and last day, I checked out and send a second email, they reply that it is regret however it is too late. I should be compensated for the inconvenience caused as I could not use the bathroom. Hope the management do better in problem resolution.
- Jo (10/5): Excellent customer service - They reply really fast and were so extremely helpful and friendly. They have luggage storage service on your check in and also check out day. Since the luggage storage office isn't exactly the hotel, they arrange shuttle bus as well. Check in and check out was so easy. Everything done on a tablet. Room was spacious. Phone provided. Washing machine and dryer can be found on two floors and they're both free. Not coin operated unlike other hotels. Location wise is really good. Close to a subway station as well as plenty of bus stops. There were many eateries around as well.
- X (10/5): - Good location, reasonable price, clean. Have everything you need. I only would add the body washing towel.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice little self-check in hotel - Close to Ginza, short bus ride to Kyoto station, nice simple room and plenty of eateries around. Only issue is the aircon which is situated right above your head and can get a bit uncomfortable at night, and cleaning is only every 3rd day. Overall, pleasant stay.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Beds are very firm but rooms were spacious, pretty good location near lots of good restaurants. Would recommend staying here
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great location - Great location as close to the main strip of shops and a walk away from public transport. A spacious room woth many amenities.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Really good location, high quality stay. - We stayed at two other APA in Tokyo and this place was by far our favourite, its different as there's no host to great you everything is automatic, but it was fine, the hotel provided us with a free phone called 'handy' free international calls and 4g, we found it so useful and helped us navigate the area, overall really great experience.
- Alex (8/5): Great value, new hotel. - Spacious room for price. Extremely clean. Very quiet. Comes with a smartphone with free local and international calling. No one mans the front desk, you check in and out on an iPad. If you are in a hurry and something goes wrong you could end up in a panic. So just give yourself some time. Pretty far from the nearest JR station (Nijo station). Otherwise, it's a nice place.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Quite busy to check the related e-mail about check-in!
- Verified traveler (6/5): check in &out - no staff, check out failed.because of tablet software issue
- Verified traveler (10/5): Good stay in comfortable room - The room was small but very clean and comfortable. The whole check in and check out process was done online. There is no concierge or staff. You are given passcodes and room numbers all through email or the tablet to check in.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Room is big and comfortable, good facilities laundry and dryer, not far from underground and bus stop. If you want daily service don’t stay here. Check in is bit difficult because you can do it on the iPad in the hotel or check in at head office. All communication are via email.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We were intrigued by the fact that the entire experience was computerized. From check in to check out. They even provide a free smartphone to use while a guest.
- Navneet (8/5): - Was a nice hotel I’m a very good location. It seems to be new so hotel rooms are in good condition. They don’t have anyone in hotel lobby and check in and check out is via a phone/iPad. They also don’t have luggage holding service at the hotel but they can hold it for you at the main office near Kyoto station. They also don’t clean hotel unless you are staying more than 3 nights. It was worth it for the price but not a typical hotel.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Not good for western travellers. - We booked this because of free transfer from Kyoto station. The office was difficult to find for non Japanese speakers and there were only 2 shuttles a day. The people there gave us an incorrect code for our room and there are no staff at the hotel.
- David (10/5): Great for the price - Had some trouble getting in because I lost the confirmation email but the staff who helped me was very kind and everything went smooth.
- Shunwen (10/5): - No staff at all, even check in it’s all automatic. You use the password to get inside the building and your room. Very quite and comfortable, there’s a family mart nearby.
