Kawanishi Vacations from $464

Staff is very courtesy and made us feel welcome. Tasty breakfast and enjoy the onsen provided. Location is good, just opposite the Higashi Hongan-ji, about 7 mins walk from the Kyoto station. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby, The sight seeing bus services was a bonus.

This is a beautiful property and well worth the price. We were on the fourth floor. If I booked again I would pay more to be higher (eighth floor) and a slightly larger room.

Very clean and tidy, basic room. I was happy with the reasonable price that matched the quality and the economy room we booked, and the friendly staff who were very kind, helpful and supportive. They provided all basic necessities and toiletries. The hotel was in a good location and in convenient walking distance of the areas we visited nearby like the markets and shopping areas. I’d highly recommend this stay if you’re a simple, budget/economy traveler and are comfortable walking around in the area. The only thing I’d request is to please add more pillows on our beds. One pillow is just not enough but I did appreciate the hospitality and for providing more pillows as requested and the refrigerator in the room helps along with the water dispenser in the lobby was a major plus!!!

The good; if you are looking for a quiet location this might be your place, the location is directly across a wonderful small eatery that you don't want to miss. Not too far is a family mart.. Staff was helpful. The bad; the photo layout for the room I selected is not the same, there is 2 small twin beds that aren't together, the room was musky and had an odor. Carpet felt like it has been neglected, there was dust accumulation and allergies or illness was happening, the codes to get in were a bit of a hassle. There were many mosquito's present and for some reason in the room. There was no shower that you can stand regularly. The refrigerator was broken. The air-conditioning needed to be on if you wanted fresh air.

Very good stay
