Hotel in zona Arashiyama Hybrid Museum, Kyoto

We stayed in this hotel for 4 nights during our first visit to Kyoto. This hotel is very clean with nice accessories and modern Japanese accommodations located in quiet neighborhood away from constant tourist crowds but at the same time in walking distance from the emperor palace and right across from Nijo Castle. It is only 10-15 minutes away on taxi from Gion district and other main tourist attractions that Kyoto can offer. I also would like mention Garrya Nijo Castle Kyoto staff that made us feel very welcomed and specifically to Timothy Hui (front office manager) who went beyond his duties and make special accommodations for us during our visit in Kyoto.

This hotel has wonderful costumer services and the employees speak many languages. Right up the street there is a 7/11 store for all your snack run, there are cafe and restaurant within walking distance. The Karasuma-Oike station is literally 3-5 minutes walk. The best part is the traveler’s store that is about a 10 min walk. I been wanting to go there and finally got to visit it. This store has stationary items such as notebooks that can have you record your journey.

Hotel is conveniently located next door to a subway station. It is a few stops from Kyoto station. There are many stairs and no escalator or elevator when you exit the subway so not the best when you have luggage. Front desk’s staff English is quite limited, which surprised me given that Hyatt is an American chain and most guests were American while we were there. There are two Nespresso coffee machines in the lobby but no milk. There are three laundry machines on the lobby level. Each machine serves as both a washer and a dryer and takes 120 minutes for 600 yen. People lock their load with a code and you end up waiting for a long time waiting for someone to show up to remove their laundry. Room is tiny, the size of a closet. Our room had two twin beds and a sofa bed for a single person. There is no room to move. There are no sheets in the room so we called to ask for sheets. The person who answered the phone did not know what sheets mean so we had to go to the lobby and describe what we need. The language barrier is real. Our room was on top of a road and we could hear almost every car that went by. It does not seem like the hotel invested in good windows. Make sure to pack ear plugs. The bathroom is quite small and has a weird setup with a shower next to a bathtub. Front desk staff is also not helpful with recommendations for places to eat. They show you a barcode that lists restaurants, but do not provide recommendations. We found an excellent Indian restaurant very close to the hotel. You exit the hotel and turn to the right towards the subway, pass the dry cleaners and cross the street, you will see a mini-mart and then a basement with an Indian restaurant. They open at 5 pm for dinner. It is very inexpensive and delicious. I recommend the butter chicken and cheese nan. Front desk will print for you, there is a charge of 10 yen per page. There is no concierge and staff was too busy to respond to questions about how to get places, instead they offered a map. Breakfast gets busy so be sure to get there early. They offer rice, curry, soup, fish, fruit, bread, coffee, juices and more. The egg is extremely runny and when I asked the attendant if they have egg that is better cooked, she had no idea what I was saying. I would not stay here again because of not being able to communicate with staff and because the room is so small.

Vicino alla stazione di uscita ovest di Hachiko, adatto a chi prende la JR Haruka o lo Shinkansen. Perché è vicino alla salita. Ma se qualcuno si concentra sui viaggi in autobus a Kyoto, sarà dal lato opposto, una lunga passeggiata. Prenotato 2 notti ed è stato trasferito in una camera nell'ala sud. Posiziona facilmente la tua valigia. C'è una presa sul comodino. Il letto è moderatamente morbido. Ma il cuscino è molto duro. Ma ci sono foglie piccole e morbide che possono essere usate in modo intercambiabile. Le luci nella stanza non sono molto luminose. Ci sono 2 bottiglie d'acqua gratuite in camera sono quasi complete, manca solo la cuffia per la doccia. Qui, il sistema di check-in del chiosco è facile da usare. La colazione è disponibile se non l'hai acquistata. Ci sono 3 sale da pranzo tra cui scegliere, ciascuna al prezzo di 3000 yen.

Ottimo albergo! La posizione è comoda, proprio accanto alla stazione di Kyoto. Molti banconi parlano cinese, giapponese e inglese, la comunicazione è semplice e il servizio è buono. La camera è grande (rispetto ai normali hotel giapponesi), le valigie possono essere sp**** , l'arredamento è moderno, le strutture sono complete e il bagno è asciutto, il bagno è separato e pulito in modo tempestivo, c'è anche una vasca termale gratuita all'ultimo piano, che è molto rilassante e allevia lo stress ~ Lo consiglio vivamente; questo hotel se viaggi a Kyoto!

Hotel was super nice! I loved almost everything. The room was very big for Japanese standards and the staff was very professional and fluent in English. Location couldn’t be better, right next to Kyoto Station and a lot of options for shopping and dining. The only thing that was disappointing was the breakfast. They divide it in a western and japanese breakfast. But the western breakfast didn’t really have much western choices. And the coffee was not good. This could be improved. Otherwise it was a perfect stay and I would recommend it. :-)

Generally speaking, it is quite cost-effective for stay Kyoto Banjing to be a hotel in winter.Surrounded by some restaurants in online celebrity and shopping spots in online celebrity, the traffic is also very convenient, and it is a beautiful place to go out.But theirCleaning is not every day, just doing the most basic cleaning. Of course, this was made clear before, so it is acceptable on the whole.

We recently spent 4 nights here and had a great experience overall. The check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. The hotel's central location is very convenient, providing easy access to Kyoto's popular attractions. Although the room is a bit small, it’s was very comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. One of the standout features of this hotel is its stunning rooftop terrace overlooking the city, which was our favorite spot to unwind and relax at the end of each day. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Sora Niwa Terrace Kyoto to anyone visiting this beautiful city.

Il luogo è più difficile da trovare, non c'è posto di chiusura, ma ci sono anche molti parcheggi pagati vicino, e ci sono anche supermercati vicino. La casa è molto pulita, e gli oggetti necessari possono essere chiesti di prenderli.
