I came to check in at night but the foreign staff had a very bad attitude like looking down on me. And 1am I had to ask to change room because I encountered a nest of cockroaches. And they ran all over the room and even flew.

If you are not looking for solace in a hotel, there is no problem at all in terms of securing a "bed".To be honest, the image photo and the actual room were different, and I was concerned about the smell in the room.Bed sheets? The bed had been made with stains still on it.I would say it was worth the price, but I was really considering giving up on the amount I paid and moving to another hotel.

I got it for a cheap price and went there with no expectations. I knew the bedroom was average in size and the bathroom was small in Japan, but it was adequate. The downside was that they didn't provide water, so I had to use the vending machine on the first floor or buy it. There were two convenience stores across the street and across the street. There was a bus to get to tourist spots, so it was easy to use, and especially private!! There was a public bathhouse, so I made a reservation on the day and paid 550 yen per person. The wind blows like an open air, the bath is kept warm, and there is enough space for two people to enjoy a half-body bath for a long time. It was so good!! There are two types of private baths! You can use it for 1 hour. Thanks to you, I got a good night’s sleep and am very satisfied!

I’ll start with the good things: it’s next to a coin laundry, next to Lawson, you can find hot water, tea, coffee and soup for free in the lobby. The lobby is spacious and the staff are very very friendly as well. However, I advise you not to think of using the Japanese bath on the 6th floor. The water was dirty and I found cockroaches that were taking a stroll on the bath tub and around on the floor. I was so disgusted that I could not even take a shower. I’m also not so sure about the “private” factor, it felt like anyone can see me through the partition made out of rice. The room is very very small, and the bathroom’s ventilation is not that great. It is very noisy as well. At night, the sound of the mechanical ventilation and in the morning the cleaning sound woke me up. To be honest it is a good stay for one night not more than that.

Accommodation cost and front desk service were good.There is a lot of dust in the common areas on each floor and in every corner of the room, and it has not been cleaned properly.The worst part was that the air conditioner was covered in black mold and there was visible dust on the outside.There was clearly no cleaning done, and no inspection or confirmation afterward.It doesn't matter if it's cheap or bad. out of the question.I was able to reserve this through APA, but I wonder if it's for a group?If so, I would like you to provide thorough manual training.

I decided on this hotel in a hurry, so I didn't look at the reviews, but although it was a little worse than a normal hotel, I didn't have any major problems.It's 800m walk from Kyoto Station and 600m walk from Kujo Station, so it's not close to the station.There was certainly no one at the front desk for baggage storage during the day, but when I called, they came out from the back and collected it within a few minutes. (There is a note at the front desk asking you to call us if you are in a hurry.)The check-in process was certainly done by a foreigner, but the process went smoothly from beginning to end with a smile on his face and in fluent Japanese.In terms of cleaning, I think you should be concerned about the water area.In terms of soundproofing, the walls were the thinnest of any hotel I've ever stayed at. You can hear people talking and the TV in the next room. Fortunately, the noise had subsided by the time I went to bed, so I was able to sleep normally.The room I stayed in was normal, with no strange smells or insects, but it was reasonably priced and seemed understaffed, so I think if you're lucky you might be able to stay in a decent room. Masu.I don't think I'll stay here again due to the thinness of the walls, but if you don't mind it, it's probably not a problem.

A single bedroom and bathroom is essential when you travel alone, the hotel was quite good for the price.Good reception service, they will store your luggage without any problem if it had arrived the day before.In the lobby you have a rest area and a coffee machine, on the same floor there are machines for washing/drying clothes, but they don't have many, and even trying to use them in the early morning, they were busy. But halfway down the street you have a place with many machines and open 24 hours a day!Also in front of the hotel there is a Lawson open 24 hours a day to buy whatever you need, even to withdraw money from the ATM machine.The only bad thing about the hotel is that exactly on the day I needed it they had no connection and they couldn't send my luggage to the next hotel, but they told me that the LAWSON, which was right in front, did have the service, which made it a lot easier for me. the things.Quite correct hotel, to repeat.

I made a reservation through the APA Hotel app.It was nice to be able to stay at a low price, but since it is not an APA hotel, I felt that there was a difference in the detailed services.For example, there is no one-second check-in system, TV is only available on terrestrial TV, and there is no water in the refrigerator.However, the price is low and the rooms and lobby are kept clean, so you can stay with peace of mind.There was a convenience store right in front of the hotel, and the coffee machine in the lobby could be used for free, which was a good point.

Previously, I stayed with my mother for 4 nights.I think it may have been because it was cheap, but I could hear the voices in the next room from 3:00 to 6:00 a.m. for four days.When I contacted the front desk, most of the employees were foreigners, so they told me, ``It can't be helped if you're a couple, lol,'' and they didn't change rooms or give me any warning.I will never use a hotel like this again.

Within walking distance from Kyoto Station, Tofukuji Temple, and Jujo StationI stayed on a Friday night. Including the accommodation fee paid locally, it was just under 6,000 yen.Although the number of outlets is small, the room is clean, including the plumbing, and is perfect for a single adult.There is Lawson Store 100 nearby.

After reading other people’s reviews of the hotel on the Internet, I decided to try it out for one night. First of all, the single room I booked was not expensive. When I checked in, there were two single beds on the left. When I entered the room, the light was slightly hidden behind the door. The corridor could be opened to a 29-inch open-top suitcase. There were sufficient plug positions and quantity. There is hot and cold coffee in the lobby. It's a 10-15 minute walk from Kyoto Station.

The cost-effectiveness is good. The hotel is clean both outside and inside.The room is small, but has everything you need. I made a reservation for 2 nights for 58,000 won. There is a Lawson right in front, but you have to walk about 10 minutes to Seven, and it is a bit far from the station, and the stop is about 5 minutes away.You can even see Kyoto Tower!It’s also great for women to stay alone!They said it wasn't soundproof, but I wasn't sure about that. It didn't feel particularly noisy.

Perhaps there were fewer employees, but when I checked in, I was asked to wait a moment, and I was separated from other customers for about 5 minutes. When I entered the room, there was long hair in the bathroom and mold growing in the air conditioner.Access is convenient as there is a bus stop nearby and the subway is a 5 minute walk away.
