I have stayed here many times for business trips and trips (room types are mainly doubles and Hollywood twins). The structure is spacious from the entrance, and the rooms are spacious. It feels like a high-quality space. Personally, I think the variety and quality of breakfast is top class among business hotels in Kyoto.It is conveniently located just a short walk from Kyoto Station's Hachijo Exit, 3-5 minutes across the pedestrian crossing from the nearest Shinkansen ticket gate, and 1-2 minutes from the airport limousine boarding area. There is also a convenience store (7-Eleven) right in front of the hotel entrance. The location is perfect.There are two laundry machines near the bathhouse on the 1st floor and three on the 6th floor, and you can check the availability from the TV in your room. It may have been a coincidence, but I was able to use it without waiting.The large public bath has a sauna and a semi-open-air bath, which is rare for business hotels in Kyoto. The morning bath starts at 6:00, but I think it would be nice if it was open from around 5:00. Breakfast also starts at 7:00, but I think it would be nice if it started between 6:00 and 6:30, allowing me to use my time more effectively.The restaurant is also open in the evenings, and you can order a la carte, so it was convenient if you wanted to have a drink or a meal. (LO at 10pm)

After a business trip to Kochi, I didn't want to go straight back to Yokohama, so I hurriedly stayed in Kyoto. I was having a hard time choosing a hotel in Kyoto, but I searched for a hotel near the station, recently built, large public bath, and breakfast, and found the one that I found was Royal Twin Hotel Kyoto Hachijoguchi. 3 minutes walk from Kyoto Station ticket gate. There is a 7-Eleven in front of the hotel. First of all, the front staff's smiling faces and polite explanations made me feel relieved. Afterwards, we received a free drink service at the breakfast venue until 11pm. The room is a twin (double?) with two single beds. The quality of the bed and pillows is high, and the sheets are soft to the touch. There are also plenty of amenities. The bathtub is spacious and you can relax and stretch your legs while soaking, but we recommend the large communal bath with an open-air bath. After a very hot sauna, you can cool off your hot body in the large chair in the open-air bath. Lastly, the breakfast menu is extensive. A variety of Japanese, Western, and Chinese items, including local Kyoto ingredients and specialty products such as yuba (yuba yuba), were arranged little by little on cute small plates, and I couldn't help but eat way too much. After a meal, enjoy a cup of bitter coffee to soothe your soul. As a foodie like myself, the satisfaction I received far exceeded the cost of accommodation (10,675 yen). There is a repeat.

This hotel is very affordable, which led me to assume it might not be great. I was wrong; it turned into one of my favorite stops on the trip. …

Best cost performance. The room is compact, but there is at least enough space to open your suitcase, so it doesn't feel cramped. The bathroom in the room also has a certain amount of space, which is good. There is a coin laundry near the public bath and also on the 6th floor.
