Tanimachi Vacations from $417

The location is close to transit and has restaurants and shops around the area.

Everything was great. Need more or bigger trash cans.

Very spacious and luxurious shower, bathroom. Loved the room and location in quiet neighborhood

A good hotel in a good location. Bunk beds for kids and a second bathroom make it easy for a family. Easy walk to heart of city and lots of food option nearby including a 7-11 and Fresco 24hr grocery store. Kids loved it. Was a bit inconvenient not having basic necessities in the room such as coffee. As a coffee drinker it’s annoying to have to walk to reception just for some instant coffee first thing in the morning. Would have given the hotel 5* but they gave us inaccurate advice for train and bus tickets. We told them where we wanted to go and they sold us day passes for 1,100 yen (4,400 for 3 adults and 2 kids). When we got to the train station we found out the tickets they sold us weren’t for that train, we then had to pay cash for that train and other trains for the rest of the day. When we spoke to the hotel about it, their answer was “sorry, you should have read the fine print”. Given we bought the tickets on their advice, the right thing to do would have been to offer a refund or some sort of compensation for this. Lesson learned, do your own research, don’t trust advice from reception.

Staff was super nice and the rooms were spacious. Walking distance from Kyoto station and some conbinis.
