Room for 4 people just enough for 2-3person

Room for 4 person but too small for 4 person. No place to put luggage. Share bathroom. Other was acceptable. Please check the policy before book. Rules are rules and there is no flexibility. The best part is the weather is cold in Japan, but the nights in Kyoto are boring. If you want to enjoy the nightlife, not recommended to stay in Kyoto.

The room is larger than it looks on the photo. Our family of 4 has a lot of space to move about and even a living room /dining area. The location is walkable distance from Kyoto Station but do prepare a walk for a bit, but it's also quiet, good for resting after a day of touring /shopping.

Rekommenderas inte!

Vid check-in var ytterdörren låst och vi fick vänta en timme. Till slut bankade vi hårt på dörren och då vaknade någon innanför och släppte in oss. Ofräscht med massor av hårstrån i sängen och trasig toalettdörr. Absolut inte värt pengarna.
