Kyoto: hotel a 2 stelle

Checked in but was given a bed that was already taken, however they rectified it quickly and switched me to a female dorm instead of my previously booked mixed- dorm. Showers are clean and there is a common kitchen area on 2nd floor and lounge area on 1st floor. The location is near bus stops which can get you to the train station. The bunks are quite spacious with an area to place your baggage as well. Great for solo travellers. Do note that there is a ¥200 fee per night that you will need to pay upon check in.

The concept of this hostel is great - something better and more inclusive than a capsule hotel with large, comfortable beds. Pros: The common area and kitchen were really nice, and the free beer hour provided a great way to connect with other travelers. The common area has huge windows looking onto downtown Kyoto. The staff were all super friendly and helpful and spoke English. You are given a keycard for access to the bed floors and after hours. You need to reserve breakfast the day before, but it's right next to St Marcs Cafe which I thought was a great option, so IMO you don't need to use the hostel's breakfast. The showers were good, and I never saw them full despite a lot of people staying here at this time. The laundry machine seemed easy to use as well. The location in downtown Kyoto is obviously great and close to bus stops to reach popular temples on the east side. Cons: The only problem I faced was that the iPod to control my bed and lights rarely worked! The first night, I was unable to recline the bed into sleeping mode or turn off the lights, so staff had to come reset something on top of the pod to get it to connect. It stopped working again after that, and I could not turn the lights on in the morning. I also did not get to use the special wake-up features. Because my stay was only a few days and I wasn't spending leisure time in the pod, I decided to just deal with the unlit pod. Also, I was the only person who I spoke with who had this issue. But the hotel should improve the engineering of the iPod controllers or provide backup physical controls on the side. This wasn't an issue for me, but my medium-sized suitcase would not fit in the pull-out luggage rack under the bed. I had to keep the suitcase closed and on its side between the luggage rack and the screen. I don't think that travelers with large suitcases would be able to fit them in the pod, you'd probably have to find an empty corner in the hallway. Overall, I would recommend staying here, just hope you aren't the unlucky one who gets assigned to a broken pod.

Le sei camere di mais del secondo piano sono state chiuse.La tavola rotonda e un sedile e un forno (9, 2 scatole, scatole, scatole) contenitore, scatole, scatole di carta, frigorifero, orologio, grande sala di cambio di piscina pubblica al primo piano sotto il pavimento: 12 corse di strip, 2 scatole di peso, ventilatore e bagno a vento: Ogni fila di tre e sei curry di dimensioni circa 1m * 3m con cappotto d'acqua e acqua calda per regolare la temperatura dell'acqua calda

Sembra che ci siano molti stranieri che portano indietro la stanza, che è molto inconveniente perché non c'è spazzolino nella stanza.Quindi, naturalmente, non c'è tè o caffè.Ci sono denti, tovaglioli e bagni.Molti sedie, ma nessuna bocca USB.C'è frigorifero. Inoltre, fuori dalla finestra c'è il muro del prossimo edificio, e c'è una sensazione di blocco.Si dice che la città di Sonny eterna accanto sia buona, ma dato che si tratta di una stanza che può dormire, quindi è troppo lontano dalla stazione, si dovrebbe tornare a dormire quando la città di Sonny eterna è chiusa. Non è molto lontano, ma penso che sia molto lontano, perché non c'è negozio sulla strada.

Sono rimasto in un dormitorio 6-person, e era molto rumore. Nessuno sembrava preoccuparsi di altri che si riposano; c'erano spesso in inglese ”spazzatori”. Diversi rumore iniziarono prima delle 6:00. Mi sentivo come se fossi tornato in Europa, con lo stesso rumore e indifferenza da parte dei viaggiatori.

Se vuoi avere una mamma in Giappone e viaggi solo, questo è forse il posto migliore per restare a Kyoto, dal momento che arrivate 'mamma' è in attesa di voi per quello che ti serve, arriva a fare colazione alle 7:00 e ti aspetta fino alle 23:00: - Sono arrivati...

Wonderful stay - spacious traditional Japanese Ryokan with very friendly welcoming staff and wonderful hot pools / onsen. Lovely seating areas near all rooms with small gardens and koi pond. I'm told the hot breakfasts are great too - but I was at a conference that had plenty of food so I didn't try the Ryokan breakfast. If you're hungry at odd hours there is a Friendly Mart (Lawson? 7/11?) on the corner nearby open till 10 or 11pm - with fruit, candy, hot and cold food etc. Be ready to leave your shoes at the front door on arrival. Fresh towels, tabi (toe socks) and yukata (cotton robes) provided every day and hot water available 24/7. Read the onsen / hot pool rules before hand (in room or look up on phone) for important information like no bathing suits, sit down to shower/rinse, no soap/shampoo in the pool. After making a few mistakes on the first day, getting around by public transport became easy. Sometimes google and bus stops say that a bus has already left but they mean it's supposed to have left. It might just be delayed by a stop or two. Use ICOCA card on everything (train/bus) except for LOOP buses (couldn't work them out). SUICA card probably works anywhere too but if you get a Welcome SUICA at the airport on the way in (as I did) then you'll discover that it's different. Most importantly, the Welcome SUICA doesn't work on public transport outside of Tokyo. It also expires after 28 days losing all the money you loaded it with. However, you can use it as a payment card at most convenience stores. (I ended up using it at the Family Mart in Kyoto to buy snacks). Best app for phones - SUICA balance check - although the balance info is often printed on your receipts/bus tickets. Also, ignore all the websites that say you don't need a reserved seat on Shinkansen but can sit anywhere unless the seat is claimed. That only applies if you have a Japan Rail Pass (not a ticket, or card). Also, you need to use both your local travel pass and your Shinkansen (express) ticket to get through platform gates. That's not exactly clear either. Kyoto is beautiful and I didn't get a chance to do much sightseeing so I'll be back.

Siamo stati benissimo, ci siamo sentiti a casa, abbiamo dormito su un tatami comodissimo, abbiamo dormito davvero bene. Gli host sono sempre a disposizione, molto disponibili e pronti a fornirci consigli utili per il nostro soggiorno. Anche la posizione è davvero pratica. Lo consiglio, io tornerò sicuramente!!
