Kioto hotellit lähellä Nijo Castle

Plussat: Great location, clean rooms, friendly staff

Miinukset: Breakfast was awful. It was cold and obviously left sitting for quite some time before it was served to usThis held true for both the western and Japanese meals.

Plussat: Liked the rooms, the bath, the location, the staff, the overall look and feel, the room amenities.

Miinukset: Not much! Room was a little tight but it was 3 beds so can't really complain. We didn't eat in the hotel restaurant, so can't comment. We'd definitely come back.

Miinukset: Small rooms. No vegetarian food option at the local restaurant.

Plussat: This hotel felt almost brand new and for the price, it was an amazing value. I was staying at other value hotels in the area but when I found this hotel I thought I would give it try based on ratings. I was not disappointed - it had a feel of a medium priced hotel in the US (think Hilton or Marriott) but I paid closer to the lower range of a budget hotel. Granted, I am not going during peak season. The interiors was luxurious and everything felt new. I would stay here again, hands down.

Miinukset: It's a bit hard to find because it's in an alley way and generally signage is hard to see anywhere in this part of Kyoto. Be prepare to have your gps on to find this spot.

Plussat: Elegant design, classy rooms and amenities, attentive staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay especially the onsen/ spa, which was a real treat after long sightseeing days in Kyoto. Location is excellent.

Miinukset: Restaurant is nice, although lacking in continental cuisine. Fitness/ gym centre would have been a plus.

Plussat: Staff were fantastic - very knowledgeable and attentive. The breakfast buffet was also delicious - huge variety and everything I tried was very good.

Miinukset: I was fine with it, but some foreigners may not like the pillows (one side was cushiony and the other side was a bean bag style filling). However, I did see another guest returning to his room with a couple plush looking pillows so it appears you can request a more standard pillow if you prefer.

Plussat: The location was nice and the room was comfortable. The bathroom was small, as well as the tub, but they were bigger than the previous place I’d stayed at so it really didn’t bother me.

Miinukset: The doors are hardly sound proof and if you’re unlucky enough to be in the room right outside the breakfast area it’s miserable. And I do mean right outside it. There was a table 4 feet from the door to my room, complete with a screaming kid and constant talking that I could clearly hear from my bed. People weren’t even talking that loudly, but if you’re a light sleeper, you’ll be up every morning at a minimum of 7:30 am (when breakfast starts). Miserable.

Plussat: Hotel Monterey Kyoto is located near Gion, the main shopping area in Kyoto, and walking distance to Maruyuma Park, Pontocho Alley, and Nishiki Market. It is a block from the Karasuma Oike station, which is only a few stops from the Kyoto Station. As a tourist, this hotel is well located, considering many of the temples are best reached via bus. Our room felt extremely clean with modern decor. Though space was tight, it was manageable for two people. Everyone we spoke to was very accommodating, polite and helpful. We never heard sounds coming from other rooms.

Miinukset: No complaints!

Plussat: Only a short distance from the Internstionsl Manga museum and the central shopping area. Beautifully located in a quiet area surrounded by plenty of great places to find food.

Plussat: Big clean room at a very reasonable price. Friendly, helpful English speaking staff. Beautiful waterfall outside the bar area.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Location was excellent, close to bus station and 10 min walk to train station (karasuma line). The place was clean, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The shower area was very spacious (in my concideration). The heater worked perfectly and the sleeping area to me was spacious enough (i was in a shared room that had 8 beds).

Miinukset: The top floor restroom was fine, but the bottom one had a urinal and even though the place was clean that restroom always smelled like pee. The bed was fine to me, but I which it had a better storage box for my items, when it was opened u had to hold it ypurself to keep it open otherwise it would fall close, I don't think it would ve expensive of dificult to add a contraceptive to keep it open while it is being used. The bed was fine to me, and I think it actually helped me with body pains from so much walking during the day, but I imagine some people might find it hard, since it is a futton on a wooden floor. Other than that I think the place was actually pretty good and would definitely concider coming back there if I was to go again to Japan.
