APA Hotel Kyoto Ekihigashi

6/10 Okay

"This is a great place to stay if you'd like to save money on your trip to Tokyo. Staff was very nice. Only complaint would be that the room is very small"

Smile Hotel Kyoto-shijo

8/10 Good

"The hotel was good overall and had a convenient location. The room size was actually quite good for Japan, which was a nice surprise. The hotel itself felt a bit old and could use some renovation. The air conditioning in the room wasn’t controllable—although they informed us about this from the beginning and even provided a fan at check-in, which helped. Cleanliness was good, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, it was a pleasant stay."
