Hotel attached to the station, a few minutes walk, strategic location!Small rooms but okay by Japanese standards.Friendly and helpful staff, fast and efficient check-in and check-out!The only negative flaw was the breakfast, little choice in both sweet and savory... the juice dispenser wasn't that great and the alternative for allergies was a good solution but too bad it was only savory.

The location and number of outlets match recent specifications. It is easy to use if you don't have a shelf and just hang hangers on the wall or just sleep overnight. The bed was comfortable too.

1. The official website system is very bad2. Use the official website to make a reservation for 9/21~9/23, (CHEN YU) reservation number 2208-55x5-3xx6, the reservation cannot be changed through the email link, and there is no other way (e-mail) to cancel except by phone3. Kyoto Tower Hotel website cannot find cancellation reservation information-------------I'm glad that the hotel manager contacted me via email on 9/6 and solved my problem. I look forward to my next stay.

The location of this hotel is quite good, only take your around 5mins to get here from the Kyoto station. Easy to find and easy to access.There are several bus line located near the hotel which can take u to different temple, it won’t require you lots of walk to get the those bus stop.One of the things to aware is that their checkin time is 5pm for short stay guest. I only lived for 2 days and its count as a short stay. Despite relative late checkin time, u can still store ur luggage here same as in other hotel. Tax fee is required additional to ur room fee during checkin with price 400yen per night.The most worst experience I had is the wifi. The WiFi signal in our room is extremely poor (my room located at 8/f corner room). Altho I didn’t travel a lot in the world, this is the worst wifi I had among 50+ hotels I had stay. I can’t even load my Google map fluently with the hotel wifi. I will recommend u to use ur own data to have a smooth internet experience(if u hv a lot data which I am not…)Without the wifi issue, the hotel is basically not that bad. The staff are not rude, the breakfast is quite ok, everything is basically fine. The incredibly slow-speed internet really pissed me off tho.
